If you want to share your faith but you're confused about why evangelism matters if God is already in control, this conversation is for you. Pastor Tim and Ella wrestle honestly with God's sovereignty, predestination, grief, and the pressure we can put on ourselves to “get it right.”

In this episode:

• Why God's sovereignty doesn't make sharing the gospel pointless
• Why another person's salvation isn't ultimately something you accomplish
• How to move from Christian guilt toward prayer, relationship, and God's invitation

Tim walks through predestination, Arminianism, Scripture, and J.I. Packer's Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God—but the conversation keeps coming back to the real stuff of life: grief, people we love, and what faithful evangelism actually looks like.
