Summary

It’s Witness Wednesday! Join Todd Friel on campus at Kennesaw State University to discuss Jesus Christ, His gospel and THE truth - not my truth, or your truth, but the truth - Jesus Christ himself. Prepare to be challenged and encouraged as real, every day beliefs are put to the test of biblical truth. Segment 1 • Luke says truth is “whatever works for you.” Todd presses the logic: if truth is personal, could someone justify harming children if it benefits them? • The conversation exposes the collapse of moral relativism—without an objective authority, right and wrong become mere preferences. • Todd asks the ultimate courtroom question: If Luke stood before God today, why should he be forgiven? Segment 2 • Luke wrestles with a common college dilemma: If people grow up in different religions, how can anyone claim Christianity is the truth? • Todd argues that truth ends the search—if Jesus truly rose from the dead, competing worldviews are eliminated. • Luke admits he’s still searching, prompting Todd to explain why the gospel uniquely answers life’s biggest questions. Segment 3 • Malcolm confidently says he believes in God and purpose—but struggles to explain why someone else should believe the gospel. • Todd walks him through a simple apologetic: complex design points to a Creator and a moral lawgiver. • The conversation pivots to the core issue: if we are guilty before a holy God, how can justice be satisfied? Segment 4 • Kenya believes good people go to God by doing right and asking forgiveness—but Todd presses the problem: would a just judge simply overlook crimes? • Through careful questions, Todd helps Kenya see why Jesus’ death is necessary for God to forgive sinners without ignoring justice. • The conversation ends with the most urgent question: If someone were about to die, what must they do right now to be saved? ___ Thanks for listening!

Ritchard Radio begins in three, two, one.

Now I can preach it like this, okay?

0:09.8

Repent!

0:10.6

All I can tell you, change your mind.

0:12.8

Preaching repentance in the area of consciousness of sins is dishonoring the work of Jesus.

0:17.5

Repentance means you realize you're guilty, that you deserve the wrath and punishment of God. You begin to realize that sin is in you, and you turn your back on it in every shape and

form. You renounce the world whatever the cost, and you deny yourself and take up the cross and go after

Christ. It's time for Wretched Radio with Todd Freel. No, no, no, no, no, that's all wrong. This is the Sean Hannity program, and I'm your host,

Rush Limbaugh. Hey, that's my truth. This is Wretched Radio, whether I believe it or not, that's what it is.

But these days, living in a postmodern

world, whatever you want to believe is, that is the culture that we are currently immersed in.

1:03.6

And those are the people to whom we must bring the word of truth, the exclusive gospel of Jesus

1:10.7

Christ, and to persuade people that you cannot make up

your own reality. We simply try to study reality to understand what it actually is. But these days

1:25.3

in a postmodern world, you make reality whatever you want it to be.

1:31.1

Along comes Jesus Christ, who answers the very old question, what is truth?

1:38.5

And he answers it not by saying, well, here's the construct.

1:42.0

Here's the concept.

1:43.1

Here's the philosophy.

1:45.1

Here's the logical system to get you there. No, he answers it in himself. Truth is not a thing. Truth is not

1:53.4

abstract. Truth is a person. Jesus Christ himself. Let's go to KSU. Met a very polite, nice young man. He drives

within the lines. So apparently he believes those lines are true. He believes that when you go to
