In this crossover-style conversation with Chris from The Wandering Road, JJ dives into one of theology’s oldest and most stubborn questions: do human beings truly have free will, or are we simply moving through a script already known by God?
What begins with a discussion of UFO disclosure, alien life, and the theological panic such revelations might cause quickly turns toward much deeper ground: divine omniscience, prophecy, demonic possession, moral responsibility, and whether God’s knowledge of the future removes the possibility of genuine choice.
Along the way, JJ and Chris explore whether free will protects humanity from spiritual coercion, whether figures like Paul and Moses were chosen or compelled, how scripture is filtered through human language and experience, and why the sublime terror of encountering God may be far more important than the comfortable version of religion many prefer.
There is also, naturally, a little Tolkien, a little philosophy, a little heresy-adjacent speculation, and more than enough laughter to keep the existential dread manageable.
