40. This Episode Was Pre-Determined... Possibly

Perhaps you're here as a product of complex forces of the universe directing you toward this moment of listening to Ravel and reading our show notes. Or maybe you had some agency over that choice to join us. It's possible God always knew that you'd be here today, but maybe God's in process with an open future alongside us? We ask many questions about per-determinism, irresistible grace, free will, and a future full of possibilities.

What is Ravel?

We all grew up in different parts of American Christianity, and we still keep thinking about how to take it seriously, even as we leave some beliefs behind. Join us our round-table discussion as we ravel out our faith in a complex world, pulling on one thread at a time, seeking Meaning at the end of it all.
