Summary

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is on campus to talk with students about the sanctity of life, faith in action, and absolute Truth. Segment 1: • Exploring the intrinsic value of life: is a fetus a human with rights or not? • The analogy of uncertainty: Why take a shot if you don’t know what’s behind the target? Segment 2: • The drowning pool scenario: Saving a dog vs. saving a stranger—what drives your choice? • The debate on human value: Is worth tied to contribution, or is all life inherently valuable? Segment 3: • The knife-in-the-back analogy: Can you articulate the gospel to someone facing death? • Common struggles in sharing faith: Clarity in explaining repentance, grace, and salvation. Segment 4: • Graduate students’ takes on morality: Is it absolute or subjective? • Postmodern spirituality: Building gods and truths to suit personal preferences. ___ Thanks for listening!

0:00.0	Ritchin Radio begins in three, two, one.
0:07.0	I personally don't think a fertilized egg should have more rights than an adult woman.
0:13.0	You know nothing, you know nothing. Your ignorance is being shown for the entire world.
0:17.0	Either that thing that you abort is a human person with a right to life or it isn't.
0:21.8	That's like shooting at a movement in the bush when you're hunting, and it might be a deer
0:25.5	and it might be a fellow hunter, but you don't know.
0:27.8	Well, don't shoot for goodness sakes.
0:30.6	It's time for Wretched Radio with Todd Friel.
0:34.4	It's Witness Wednesday.
0:35.3	That means we go out into the streets, and that means that we talk to people about stuff.
0:39.8	Here's a fellow who's just sitting and having lunch.
0:42.2	Let's see what kind of mood he's in if he'll let me bother him or not.
0:45.5	Sir, while you're eating lunch, could I ask you some questions for a radio show we're doing?
0:50.9	All right, sir, we're out here talking to people and we're asking them philosophical questions. For instance, if you were by a swimming pool, came upon a swimming pool and a
0:59.4	stranger was drowning in the pool and needed to be rescued, but so was your dog. Now, you've only
1:05.8	got seconds to respond. You can only save one of them. Which one would you rescue? The stranger. Why?
1:13.6	Because while I love my dog a lot, they are just animals, even though they are best, very good
1:21.7	companions. People are still more valuable than animals.
1:25.4	Do you think people are more valuable? Why do you think that?
1:30.4	Consciousness and contribution to society are the way that we have decided to value entities on this planet.
1:46.0	So, yes, that's why I think.
1:49.0	I'm going to run with that.
