Summary

It’s Witness Wednesday! Join Todd on campus at Georgia Tech in Atlanta for several real-life, on-the-street witnessing encounters. What does our conscience tell us about God? Do we reject God because that’s where the science leads, or because of something deeper? When we realize we are sinners, is there any hope? All of these questions and more are explored - and Christ is exalted on today’s Witness Wednesday. Segment 1 • Eduardo says he’s a “good person”… but does he actually measure up when tested against God’s standard? • What happens when “I’m not that bad” collides with lust, lies, and a guilty conscience? • If someone paid your debt before God… would you accept it—or reject it? Segment 2 • Eduardo admits he’d rather “be himself” and face hell. • The turning point: can justice and mercy both be satisfied without compromising either? • Todd presses the urgency—what if everything you’re chasing is worthless if your soul is lost? Segment 3 • Joey admits design requires a designer, but rejects the logic when applied to God and creation. • People say they reject God for scientific reasons, but the real reasons might be much closer to home. • When your conscience gets exposed—liar, thief, lustful—do you face it or deflect it? Segment 4 • Joey resists “innocent or guilty”—but can you really escape that question before a just Judge? • Another student admits he’s not a good person… so what hope does that leave him? • Why did God create the world—and how does that answer change everything about your future? ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners. If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Hi, this is Todd Freel, executive director of Fortis Institute before we get to the podcast,

might I encourage you to please join us in not retreating. Perhaps you've noticed in your

in persecution, or just outright bias.

We are determined to stand firm, not water down the truth, and continue to make resources

that encourage and equip the saints to defend and share their faith.

0:34.2

We also love to support and undergird local churches, and we are determined to do so,

Ritchin Radio begins in three, two, one. Evolution is more than a theory. It is a fundamental

1:09.5

scientific principle. No, there's a scientific term for that. It's called baloney. We are so stupid that we think that just because telephones and computers and cars are intelligently designed, that means we are too. Well, we're not. I don't trust that Richard Dawkins. In the beginning, God created heaven, the earth, is the only logical explanation unless you don't want to believe

1:28.1

in science and logic.

Welcome to Witness Wednesday.

1:37.9

This is Rretched Radio at Georgia Tech, and I'm feeling very good about myself.

1:43.4

There's a dude walking down the sidewalk here about as tall as me, whose legs, if it were possible, are actually skinnier than mine. Let's see if we can catch up with this, young man. Welcome to the program, by the way. Excuse me. Hey, young man, whilst you're walking, could I talk you on the radio for a minute?

2:01.6

Yeah.

2:02.2

Is that okay?
