Summary

It’s Witness Wednesday! Join Todd once again on campus at Oklahoma State University as he makes a powerful presentation about faith, philosophy, worldviews, and apologetics. He wraps up with a question-and-answer session, pointing students towards Christ and His gospel of grace. Segment 1 • Discover how postmodern thought has shaped your worldview—even if you’ve never read a philosophy book. • Feelings have replaced facts in our culture, and it’s wrecking spiritual foundations. • Disney movies and TikTok might be doing more “deconstructing” than your college professor. Segment 2 • Todd dismantles the top 10 reasons students reject Christianity—with humor and logic. • You’ll hear the wild syllogisms (like “Trump is bad = Jesus isn’t real”) that people believe without realizing it. • Learn how rejecting or deconstructing a false version of Christianity doesn’t mean the real one is false. Segment 3 • Jesus isn’t a life coach—He’s the King who came to serve, save, and reign in love. • You’ll finally understand what makes Christianity not just true, but beautiful and soul-satisfying. • Be blown away by the picture of King Jesus—who knows your name, prepares your seat, and serves you at His table. Segment 4 • Hear a student wrestle with: “How can I have a real relationship with God if I can’t see or hear Him?” • Todd’s answer shows how knowing God isn’t distant or vague—it’s deep, personal, and more intimate than anything else. • Discover the one thing you might be missing if your faith feels cold or uncertain. ___ Thanks for listening!

You are gods, little G. You are gods because you came from God.

0:12.0

When I read in the Bible where he says, I am, I just smile and say yes, I am too.

0:17.0

God came from heaven, became a man, made man into little gods. We have the potential and the

0:23.6

capacity through a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ to know God, but that does not mean we are

0:29.6

God. The Bible is very clear. There is only one God, and he will not share his glory with another. It's time for Wretched Radio with Todd Friel.

Welcome in to Witness Wednesday here on Rretched Radio. I am Jimmy Hicks. Nope, I am not Todd

0:47.4

Friel, but you are most definitely going to be hearing from Todd Friel. He is out on the campus at

0:52.7

Oklahoma State University this week.

0:55.9

And typically what we normally do is give you interactions he has with college students on the campus as he shares the gospel.

1:04.3

This week, however, we're going to let you listen in to his presentation that he gave at Oklahoma State before he took questions

1:13.0

from the students. Now, we will have some questions, a few questions from students a little bit

1:17.5

later on, but I want you to hear this full presentation because, honestly, it's worth listening to.

1:23.9

It's worth hearing, not just for those people who are student-aged, but for each and every

1:29.1

one of us. This is prevalent in evangelicalism right now, and it is worth our consideration.

1:34.4

So let's get out to the campus of Oklahoma State University. It's a witness Wednesday on

1:39.2

Rretched Radio. Let's talk about y'all. You've been breathing cultural air since you've been born. You maybe don't

1:47.2

realize it, but whether it's social media, whether it's a Disney movie, whether it is some churches,

1:54.0

most certainly in university classrooms, you have been drinking in the philosophical air of our time, which is postmodernism.

2:04.1

But I'd actually call it something a little bit different.

2:06.2

I'd say that it is expressive postmodernism.

2:10.1

And even if you don't realize that you might be somehow imbibing some of their ideas,
