Summary

Segment 1



• Todd recently eulogized Phil Johnson — but Phil’s alive and well.



• Why wait to appreciate people until after they’re gone?



• Todd takes a walk down memory lane with some notes from his very first Bible.



Segment 2



• Todd rediscovers thoughts, questions, and even doubts about Scripture’s reliability.



• Textual criticism confirms the New Testament is trustworthy and accurately preserved.



• The gospel’s counterintuitive nature proves its divine origin — no human would invent a Savior who dies for His enemies.



Segment 3



• Reflections on faith, freedom, and misplaced celebrations: July 4th fireworks and Christmas commercialism.



• Catholic and Mormon doctrines questioned and dissected. • When faith drifts from Scripture, truth gets muddied and lost in tradition.



Segment 4



• Mormons teach three strange “kingdoms of glory”.



• Christ sets believers apart for one destiny, and one heavenly kingdom.



• Catholic and Mormon doctrines don’t appear overnight; they grow when Scripture is rejected as the final authority.
