The kindness of God (and the gift of agency)

Alyn Jones

Many Christians know about the severity of God but have missed the beauty of His kindness. In this message, Alyn unpacks what it means to live both biblically truthful and intellectually honest—without losing sight of God’s heart. Exploring how divine sovereignty and human agency work together, he shows that God doesn’t override our choices but invites us into partnership. Through the story of blind Bartimaeus and a deeply personal testimony about debt and redemption, this episode reminds us that God’s kindness isn’t passive—it’s an active invitation to ask, trust, and receive.
