In this week's episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus sits down with Pastor James Wilshusen to discuss the question of free will in conversion, how Scripture speaks about decision and choice, and why Lutherans confess that the human will is bound and cannot choose God apart from the Holy Spirit.

They walk through common misunderstandings about "accepting Jesus," what it means that God converts, and why repentance and faith are entirely the work of the Spirit—not the result of human decision or effort.

This episode explores the biblical language of the will, the influence of the Reformation, and why a right understanding of conversion preserves both grace and certainty for the Christian.
