Sometimes people do bad things. No one debates that. However, this simple fact cracks open the door to a world of complex moral and theological questions about the nature of evil in the realm of human choice.

In this episode, Dr. Dru Johnson dives into what Scripture means when it says that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. He also talks through whether evil actions are committed voluntarily or involuntarily. This brings up questions about the figure of Lucifer—who is he and what role does he play in the cosmic story of good and evil? Let’s dive into these questions together and begin to understand more about the people around us and the world we live in!
