Summary

Segment 1: • Methodist preacher goes viral for endorsing divorce in the name of “authentic self.” • This message twists God’s Word and moves the goalposts on covenant. • Jesus gave narrow reasons for divorce—yet culture demands limitless excuses. Segment 2: • The preacher doubles down—arguing against God’s design for marriage. • His message: don’t stay in marriages that “aren’t working.” • Marriage pictures Christ and His Church—God is not pleased with false preaching. Segment 3: • Thousands claimed “saved,” but the gospel wasn’t preached. • A watered-down message reflects seeker-sensitive culture. • The stakes are eternal—souls are lost when the full gospel is missing. Segment 4: • China unveils the first pregnancy humanoid—praised by many. • Pragmatic arguments ignore reality: robots aren’t image-bearers of God. • With AI poised to replace jobs, what happens to human purpose and economics? ___ Thanks for listening!

0:29.9	It's time for Wretched Radio with Todd Friel.
0:33.2	Not only is this all I've heard.
0:36.7	Frankly, this is about all I could endure.
0:40.3	And if your marriage is something that is keeping you from being your most authentic and whole self?
0:45.1	That was it.
0:46.9	This is Wretched Radio.
0:49.6	That was a Methodist preacher.
0:51.7	Now, when I used the word Methodist, I don't actually mean a Methodist.
0:55.7	And when I used the word preacher, I don't mean preacher because this fellow clearly isn't
1:00.1	qualified for either adjective. This YouTube clip, it's been making its way around.
1:06.0	I thought, here we go. Another Methodist saying something bonkers. But then I listened to what you just
1:13.9	heard. And I went, oh, this might be instructive. When the world creeps into the church, typically we think,
1:22.1	well, that would have to do with like sin, sexual sin, even churches that affirm abortion. But in this instance, I'm not entirely
1:33.3	sure because I'm not a prophet, nor do I play one on radio. But I think you're going to hear
1:38.3	the expressive individualistic self ideology in full bloom. What is the expressive individualistic self?
1:49.2	It is the term that was coined in the 1970s by a sociologist, I believe, to describe the me
