What if the problem with humanity isn’t just that we’re broken—but that we’re spiritually dead? In this first episode of my 5-part series “Why I Believe Total Depravity Is Biblical,” we lay the foundation for one of the most misunderstood doctrines in Christianity. Whether you’ve heard of total depravity through Calvinism, rejected it because it sounds too harsh, or never really studied it deeply, this video challenges you to set aside assumptions and ask one simple question: Is it true? We’ll unpack what total depravity really means, clear up the misconceptions, and explore why the Bible not only teaches it—but even anticipates the objections we still raise today. If total depravity is true, then grace isn’t just helpful—it’s our only hope.
