Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

SOLOMON HAD IT ALL—SO WHY DID HE CALL LIFE MEANINGLESS?


Listen Later

It’s Witness Wednesday!

Todd Friel is at Kennesaw State University where he’s talking with students about faith, evolution, and the human condition.

Segment 1:

• A future dentist, Nick, wrestles with the complexity of human anatomy—too intricate to be accidental?

• Todd challenges the evolutionary perspective, arguing that microevolution doesn’t explain the leap to full-functioning systems—evidence of intelligent design.

• Nick concedes that a creator may have “set the ingredients,” but stops short of committing to full belief.

Segment 2:

• Todd presents the moral argument—every human has broken God’s law and faces judgment.

• The courtroom analogy: good deeds can’t erase guilt, but Christ’s sacrifice can fully satisfy divine justice.

• Nick agrees it sounds logical but hesitates to call it absolute truth, raising the question of objectivity.

Segment 3:

• Sociology student Jordan acknowledges the surge in suicide rates, citing academic pressure and societal expectations.

• Todd argues that postmodernism and evolutionary thinking have stripped young people of meaning, leaving them lost.

• Jordan admits many in her generation feel directionless, questioning, “What’s the point of life?”

Segment 4:

• Todd presents the Gospel as the final answer to life’s biggest questions—purpose, morality, and eternity.

• Jordan, though religious, realizes she hasn’t fully considered if she truly believes in salvation through Christ.

• The urgency—this isn’t just theology; it’s a decision that determines eternity.
