It’s Witness Wednesday!



In this episode of Wretched Radio's Witness Wednesday, Todd engages in philosophical and theological conversations with several Georgia Tech students about their beliefs and life's purpose. Todd speaks with Orin, a 22-year-old mechanical engineering student who shares his thoughts on Christianity and his own faith journey. Next, Todd talks with a French aerospace engineering student, who identifies as an atheist, discussing the complexity of belief systems and the concept of truth. Todd then converses with a student reading Malcolm Gladwell's 'The Tipping Point' and delves into how Christianity can be seen as a tipping point in human history. Lastly, Todd encounters a student who is rushing to the library. Throughout the episode, Todd uses analogies and thought experiments to explore the students' perspectives on God, morality, and the afterlife.



Segment 1:



• Orin, a 7th-generation namesake and mechanical engineer, admits he’s unsure of his life’s purpose despite claiming Christianity.



• Todd challenges Orin’s postmodern thinking, showing that “truth is truth,” not “truth for you.”



• Orin claims faith but wrestles with whether Jesus is his greatest priority, revealing the difference between “believing” and being born again.



Segment 2:



• A French aerospace student admits he might believe in “a creator” but rejects organized religion and says no religion is true.



• Todd uses design arguments and conscience to show him that God is both Creator and judge, requiring a payment for sin.



• The student listens thoughtfully as Todd explains Christianity as “done for you” vs. “do more religion,” leaving him with the gospel.



Segment 3:



• A Christian student reading The Tipping Point agrees Jesus is the tipping point of history but struggles to articulate why Jesus alone is the way to God.



• Todd presses him on gospel clarity: salvation is by repentance and faith, not works, and clarifies the true cost of following Christ.



• The student recognizes the need for obedience flowing from salvation, not causing it, reinforcing gospel precision for listeners.



Segment 4:



• A student agrees design implies a designer but questions “Who made God?” and struggles with God’s justice vs. man’s morals.



• Todd uses the conscience test (lying, lust, blasphemy) to show him his guilt before a holy God.



• Despite acknowledging the gospel, the student chooses his “own beliefs” over Christ, illustrating the tragic yet common rejection of grace.
