It’s Witness Wednesday!



Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech where he talks with students about the fundamental questions of life, ethics, and spirituality. This episode highlights the importance of repentance, faith, and the transformative power of the Christian gospel.



Segment 1:



• Student attends an Episcopalian church but admits his faith doesn't impact his daily life.



• He defends morality without biblical grounding and even jokes about wanting political opponents harmed.



• Todd gently exposes student’s contradictions, showing that ignoring God’s commands doesn’t erase guilt — it confirms it.



Segment 2:



• Student calls himself lukewarm and challenges Christianity’s uniqueness among world religions.



• Todd responds with the gospel’s distinctiveness: only Christianity offers salvation through grace, not works.



• Student intellectually engages but admits he’s not living like Jesus is central — leaving his soul in dangerous territory.



Segment 3:



• An unnamed student confesses to lying, lust, and blasphemy, but insists being “better” should be enough.



• Todd presses the reality: if God is just, then sin must be punished — and everyone’s guilty.



• Todd meets another student who agrees with much of the message but still thinks “being mostly good” should qualify him for heaven.



Segment 4:



• Todd explains the full gospel to the student — Jesus lived perfectly and died sacrificially to save sinners like him.



• Student is told to go to God directly: repent, trust Christ alone, and be born again — not through religion, but real faith.



• With tears in his eyes, student quietly listens, visibly affected, as Todd pleads with him to respond to the gospel.
