Is Calvinist Free Will Just an Illusion?

About this sermon

Is Calvinist free will just an illusion? In this clip, Austin Fischer and Leighton Flowers respond to Kevin DeYoung’s critique, diving deep into compatibilism, determinism, and what it really means to be “free” under Calvinist theology. If God determines your desires, is your will even yours? Let’s unpack the logic—and the consequences.
