Man’s Fallen Condition: What Are We Truly Capable Of? w/ Chadd Wright

In today’s episode, I sit down with Chadd Wright for a thoughtful and grace-filled conversation about one of the most debated questions in theology: What is fallen man truly capable of? We explore passages on human responsibility, spiritual deadness, the “cannot” verses, if/then conditionals, and what it means for God to initiate while we respond. In this video we cover: -Are fallen people still able to respond to God? -What “dead in sin” actually means contextually -Why responsibility implies ability -The difference between inclination and response -Romans 1–3, John 1, Deut. 30, 1 Cor. 2–3 -Why hostility doesn't equal inability -How both sides can misread “cannot” passages Whether you’re Calvinist, Provisionist, Arminian, or just curious about how the Bible describes man’s fallen condition, this conversation is for you. We hope this encourages thoughtful study, not tribal division.
