When Paul brings up the image of the potter and the clay, many imagine a God who arbitrarily decides who’s in and who’s out. But is that what Paul meant? In this episode, Dr. Abidan Shah walks us through Romans 9 to show that Paul’s point isn’t about random selection—it’s about God forming vessels for His purpose of service.This episode will help you see that God’s sovereignty is not a wall that keeps people out—it’s the steady hand of a Potter shaping His people for service, witness, and glory.
