Summary
Join Todd at Kennesaw State University as he discusses truth, the afterlife, postmodernism, and the exclusivity of Christ with two college students.
Segment 1
• Student Brittany says she makes her own rules and believes in evolution, reincarnation, and positive energy.
• Todd walks her through the need for an objective standard of right and wrong.
• He introduces God as a loving, just Creator whose laws reveal everyone’s guilt.
Segment 2
• Todd shifts to a “cosmic courtroom” illustration, showing Brittany God’s perfect justice.
• She admits she’d be guilty under God’s laws but hopes He’d “understand” human mistakes.
• Todd explains why Jesus’ death satisfies God’s justice and saves sinners.
Segment 3
• Erin studies sociology and blends Christianity with reincarnation-type thinking.
• Todd challenges her postmodern thinking—truth isn’t personal, it’s either true or false.
• Todd reasons that creation points to a Creator and presses her on who Jesus really is.
Segment 4
• Erin shares she was baptized in 2020 but struggles with drifting from God in college.
• Todd clarifies the difference between justification and sanctification.
• He encourages her to rest in God’s love and let that motivate obedience instead of guilt.
