## Resource

In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle one of the most debated theological questions in Christianity: Does the Bible actually teach predestination? They walk through key Scriptures, clarify common misconceptions, and explain why God’s sovereignty and human responsibility are not enemies. Rather than dividing believers, a right understanding of this doctrine should strengthen confidence in evangelism and deepen trust in God’s character. The conversation then moves to Luke 15 and the heart of the Father in the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost sons, unpacking the cultural background, exposing the danger of “older brother” religion, and offering practical tools for reaching the “one more” in your life through prayer, everyday conversations, and the B.L.E.S.S. method. The episode closes with cultural analysis around the Bad Bunny Super Bowl controversy, showing how Christians can stand firm in truth while still reflecting God’s compassion for lost people made in His image. In this episode, you’ll learn: What the Bible really teaches about predestination Why sovereignty and evangelism are not enemies The powerful context behind Luke 15’s parables How to know if you’re drifting into “older brother” syndrome A practical framework for helping someone take one step closer to Jesus How to respond to culture with clarity and compassion 💬 Comment HAT for this week’s giveaway 🧢 Visit LiveFree.shop for merch 📲 Text APP to 20411 for the Lakepointe app
