Summary
Todd Friel is back at Georgia Tech and will engage Ryan and Dallas, in deep conversations about faith, morality, and the existence of God. During their conversations, the men will discuss logical and moral arguments for God's existence, the implications of breaking divine laws, and the gospel's offer of mercy through Jesus Christ.
Segment 1:
• Ryan, an agnostic computer engineering student, gets hit with the Chick-fil-A analogy: If a sandwich needs a maker, so does the universe.
• He admits it’s thought-provoking but isn’t ready to accept a Creator just yet.
• Todd plants the seed: “You are more intricately designed than your lunch.”
Segment 2:
• Todd puts Ryan’s conscience on trial—lying, stealing, lusting—and Ryan confesses to all.
• Despite agreeing he's guilty, Ryan clings to the belief that he’s a “good person.”
• The warning is clear: “If God is just, He won’t overlook your crimes.”
Segment 3:
• Dallas, a sharp 18-year-old nuclear engineering student, believes in a higher power but not organized religion.
• After walking through the Ten Commandments, he admits he’d be guilty before God.
• When asked what should happen to him, Dallas responds bluntly: “Let Him cast me to Hell.”
Segment 4:
• Todd unpacks the gospel: Christ pays the debt guilty sinners owe. It’s not about earning—it's surrendering.
• Dallas hears it, understands it, but ultimately shrugs it off: “I may just have to accept the deepest circle of hell.”
• Todd pleads one last time: “Don’t reject the kindness of God. It will echo in eternity.”
