Segment 1

• Todd recently eulogized Phil Johnson — but Phil’s alive and well.

• Why wait to appreciate people until after they’re gone?

• Todd takes a walk down memory lane with some notes from his very first Bible.

Segment 2

• Todd rediscovers thoughts, questions, and even doubts about Scripture’s reliability.

• Textual criticism confirms the New Testament is trustworthy and accurately preserved.

• The gospel’s counterintuitive nature proves its divine origin — no human would invent a Savior who dies for His enemies.

Segment 3

• Reflections on faith, freedom, and misplaced celebrations: July 4th fireworks and Christmas commercialism.

• Catholic and Mormon doctrines questioned and dissected. • When faith drifts from Scripture, truth gets muddied and lost in tradition.

Segment 4

• Mormons teach three strange “kingdoms of glory”.

• Christ sets believers apart for one destiny, and one heavenly kingdom.

• Catholic and Mormon doctrines don’t appear overnight; they grow when Scripture is rejected as the final authority.
