In this episode, host Trever Calvert delves deeply into the concept of God's will. He systematically explores three different categories of God's will: His determined or absolute will - what God wants and causes to happen, His desired or preferred will -things that God wishes for but leaves to human choice, and His permissive will - scenarios that God doesn't necessarily desire, but allows to happen.
