In this episode, Dale explores the doctrine of the sovereignty of God—a cornerstone of Reformed theology.

Since the sovereignty of God is often a stumbling block for those new to Reformed doctrine, this session aims to build a solid foundation for understanding and appreciating this profound truth.
