It’s Witness Wednesday! 

Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech where he engages students in conversation to discuss faith and how they can respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Segment 1:

• Steven claims to be a Christian but struggles to explain why someone should follow Jesus—his gospel lacks clarity on sin and grace.

• He believes in heaven and hell, but wavers when asked why Jesus is necessary over other religious options.

• With help, he affirms that repentance and faith in Jesus are necessary—but his initial “accept Jesus” language reveals a possible shallow understanding.

Segment 2:

• Eric admits he’d go to hell if judged by God’s standard but hopes he’s done “enough good” to balance out the bad.

• He’s heard the gospel but hasn’t grasped the justice of God—he still thinks forgiveness might be based on being “worth it.”

• Todd presses in with courtroom analogies and the uniqueness of Jesus’ atoning sacrifice.

Segment 3:

• When pressed for a response from Todd’s gospel presentation, Eric visibly reflective, cuts the conversation short.

• Next, Todd talks with a student who belongs to a fraternity. The student declines to discuss religion when it becomes personal.

• His discomfort reveals the shallowness of cultural tolerance—he’s polite but unwilling to explore eternity or truth.

Segment 4:

• Todd engages a student he’s spoken to before who remembers the gospel but remains confused due to exposure to conflicting religious voices.

• He asks about how to hear from God; Todd explains the sufficiency of Scripture and why creeds and theology matter.

• Still unconverted, but intrigued—he’s thinking deeply and appreciates the clarity and engagement.
