Summary

Segment 1

• Polyvagal Theory is quietly infiltrating schools just like mindfulness and meditation did.

• It seeks to explains the “fight or flight” response, but only addresses our physical body.

• The deeper issue? Our slavery to sin and death.

Segment 2

• Polyvagal Theory blames issues on perceived “lack of safety”, but the Bible says it’s sin.

• It’s this type of thinking that has brought about the “safe space” trend.

• Real, transformative healing begins at the heart, not the nervous system.

Segment 3

• A bold woman asks Megyn Kelly: “Would you go to heaven tonight?”

• Megyn’s unsure, yet searching and says she has been attending (a Roman Catholic) Church.

• God wants you to be 100% sure — not just “hopeful.”

Segment 4

• Mormon theology misunderstands baptism, family, and the afterlife.

• Mormons tie heaven to family lineage — but God wants YOUR heart.

• You can’t afford to miss the true gospel, and the Mormons get it wrong.

0:23.5	the style of preaching we have today? There is some entertaining preaching but not convicting preaching
0:28.3	and the legacy has been tragic. It's time for Wretched Radio with Todd Freel. And the devil said,
0:36.9	Hey, what about me?

0:52.2	You heard me.
0:52.9	I said PollyVagel Theory. Perhaps you have not heard about it yet,
0:56.5	but you will, especially if you're involved in your public school and oh, how I wish more and
1:02.5	more Christians were. Why? Because just like mindfulness, it is another secular, no,
1:09.4	mindfulness isn't a secular technique. It's Buddhism. It's what it is.
