43: God’s Sovereignty: Does It Mean He Causes Everything?

Does God’s sovereignty mean He directly causes everything that happens—including sin and suffering? This episode dives into one of the most debated theological questions in Christian history, exploring Ephesians 1:3-5 and its implications for God's rule over creation.
