WMAE 004: Is free will an illusion?

“I was shocked one night when a friend in college told me, ‘You can’t believe in God and free will.’ This challenging statement led me to explore what God’s Word really teaches about our ability to make choices.”

Is it possible to believe in both God and free will? If God knows everything that will happen, are our choices really our own? Elaina Isfalt examines these questions through God’s Word, exploring predestination, divine foreknowledge, and what the Bible really teaches about human agency and choice.
