Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

Witness Wednesday: She Couldn’t Say Beating a Child Is Wrong


Listen Later

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd stops by the University of Georgia to talk with – and evangelize to – a number of students. From talking with a psychology student about the reality of the soul, to investigating the claims of a member of the Ethiopian Orthodox church, Todd clearly presents the hope of the gospel to everyone he meets. Be encouraged and edified as you see biblical evangelism in action.

Segment 1

• Todd prods psych student Alex about the mind, the soul, and whether humans are merely biological machines.

• Alex argues that morality is a result of evolution, but struggles to explain why things like murder are recognized cross-culturally as wrong.

• Todd presents the Christian worldview as the only framework that explains conscience, justice, guilt, and humanity’s need for forgiveness through Christ.

Segment 2

• Todd uses a student’s necklace and T-shirt to discuss Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity and what the cross actually means.

• The student claims to be on the “right path” but admits he has lied and struggles to define what salvation really requires.

• Todd walks him through the Ten Commandments, exposing the seriousness of sin and explaining the gospel: Christ paying the penalty so guilty sinners can be forgiven.

Segment 3

• Todd meets Julia, who blends Roman Catholic background with nihilism, insisting that morality is ultimately subjective and that no absolute truth exists.

• When pressed, Julia cannot say that horrific acts—like killing a child—are objectively wrong.

• Todd bypasses philosophical debate and appeals to her conscience, showing how our sense of guilt and justice points to a moral Lawgiver.

Segment 4

• Todd asks Julia to imagine standing before God’s courtroom: if we’re guilty of breaking God’s laws, how could anyone escape judgment?

• Attempts at good deeds, apologies, or religious rituals collapse under scrutiny, exposing humanity’s need for a true substitute.

• Todd explains the gospel—Jesus satisfying God’s justice on the cross—and challenges Julia to consider where she stands.
