Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

Show Notes

It’s Witness Wednesday at Georgia Tech! Could you explain the gospel if someone put you on the spot? Todd talks with Christian students, tackles tough abortion questions, and challenges an atheist who thinks good people go to heaven.

Segment 1

• A Christian physics student sees evidence of a Creator everywhere—but can he clearly explain the gospel?

• Why understanding our sin is essential to understanding the love of Christ.

Segment 2

• Todd gives a group of Christian students 60 seconds to convince him to become a Christian.

• Is telling someone “God loves you” enough—or are we leaving out the very reason Jesus had to die?

Segment 3

• Is abortion ever justified because of rape, incest, disability, or difficult circumstances?

• Todd brings the debate back to one fundamental question: What is the unborn child?

Segment 4

• An atheist thinks Christianity is about being good enough to get into heaven. Is that actually the gospel?

• Todd challenges his claim to being a “good person” before explaining why salvation isn’t something we can earn.
