Summary

Segment 1:

• Christians cheer a Navy SEAL’s appearance on Rogan as “gospel shared”—but was it?

• Todd clarifies difference between chit-chat about Christianity, apologetics, and actual evangelism.

• Chad Wright’s testimony: reading Matthew, realizing sin, needing salvation—strong on depravity but not yet a full gospel.

Segment 2:

• Chad explains total depravity, regeneration, salvation by grace alone—impressively deep theology.

• Missing pieces: no clear explanation of wrath, judgment, or Christ’s substitutionary death.

• Todd evaluates whether a full gospel was actually presented or just strong testimony.

Segment 3:

• Chad strategically shifts conversation back to sin and death—explaining original sin clearly.

• Describes death as the result of sin, judgment as certain, Jesus as taking punishment.

• Todd affirms this could be gospel—but clarity on God’s wrath is still lacking.

Segment 4:

• Chad’s theology on Jesus’ physical body, resurrection, and glorification is solid but speculative at points.

• Todd: Good doctrine, but still no explicit penal substitution or wrath explained.

• Evangelism analogy: You can’t just share “parts” of the gospel—you must give the whole picture.

0:15.0	So I see this giant angel and I asked him his name.
0:17.5	It's a financial company and I realize this angel is here for our finances.
0:21.8	And that's a true literal story, by the way. These people are charlatans. And it's about time we draw a line in the sand and stop fraternizing with the wolves.
0:29.9	It's time for Wretched Radio with Tocryl. Crossing my fingers and wishing on a star. This is Wretched Radio. Promises have been made.
0:42.0	Let's see if the people who made them their promises deliver about what do I speak.
0:47.9	Joe Rogan, you know, the world's number one podcaster, recently had a guest on and a number of friends and different people
0:56.8	sent emails to meet idea at wretched.org saying, you got to listen to this guy. A Navy SEAL. His
1:04.7	name is Chadda, Chad, he's only got two, Chad de, Chad, right, he's a Navy SEAL. So Joe Rogan, of course,

1:33.6	you got to listen to this man. It's amazing. So I'm crossing my fingers and wishing on a star,
1:40.6	because one of the trends in evangelicalism that has been catching my attention as of late
1:47.4	are the number of YouTube videos or the number of podcasts, social media stuff that says
1:53.0	this guy shared the gospel with this famous guy. So all excited. I want anybody to get saved. I listen to it. It's like,
2:02.5	he didn't share the gospel. May have talked about Christian things. May have talked about the Bible.
2:10.1	But it is one thing to talk about Christianity. It's another thing to evangelize. It's a third,
