Summary

It’s Witness Wednesday!



Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech where he talks with four students about Christianity, repentance, the significance of Easter, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Throughout the episode, Todd emphasizes the importance of the gospel, the need for forgiveness, and the role of Jesus Christ in salvation.



Segment 1:



• Student claims to believe in Easter but doesn’t know why the resurrection matters.



• Admits he's never really examined Christianity or the reason for Jesus’ death.



• Politely disengages without much spiritual interest.



Segment 2:



• Student who is from Maryland was raised Christian but avoids saying Jesus is the only way.



• Hesitant to call other religions false, even while affirming Christianity for himself.



• Struggles to boldly proclaim gospel exclusivity despite claiming personal faith.



Segment 3:



• Yoni proudly identifies as practicing Jew but admits breaking God’s laws.



• Rejects the idea of needing a Messiah, preferring personal responsibility for his sin.



• Hears how Old Testament sacrifices point to Jesus, but remains unconvinced.



Segment 4:



• Rex boldly affirms Jesus as Lord but initially struggles to explain why.



• Learns how the law exposes sin and why people need forgiveness, not just a better life.



• Gets coached on using the Ten Commandments to make the gospel urgent and personal.
