THE GOSPEL VS. YOUR CONSCIENCE—WHICH ONE WINS?
Wretched Radio with Todd Friel - A podcast by Fortis Institute

Categories:
It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is back on campus at Georgia Tech. His discussions revolve around topics such as religion, atheism, the existence of God, evolution, personal beliefs, and moral judgment under the Christian framework. Todd uses various analogies and biblical references to argue for Christianity while addressing the contrasting views on religion and science held by the students. Segment 1: • Former Methodist student wrestles with whether belief itself—regardless of truth—has any value. • Agrees that justice requires judgment but hesitates to apply it to himself. • Gets walked through conscience-based questions and admits he’d be found guilty—yet clings to a vague hope in divine leniency. Segment 2: • Student hears a crystal-clear gospel: forgiveness comes only through Christ, not good behavior. • Initially says he agrees with “parts” of Christianity—until pressed on why he’s never trusted Jesus. • The sticking point? He prefers sin over surrender and doesn’t want a God who tells him how to live. Segment 3: • Breakdancer and self-described atheist challenges the idea of creation with science-based objections. • Admits to lying, stealing, lusting, and using God’s name in vain—but still thinks deep down he’s a good guy. • The gospel is presented as the only solution to his guilt, yet he dismisses it as someone else’s belief system. Segment 4: • Final student is told, point-blank: if God is just, you're in big trouble. • Still insists he’s “a good person deep down,” despite confessing to fornication, blasphemy, and more. • Hears the full gospel and acknowledges its power—but ultimately says it doesn’t align with his logic or desires. ___ Thanks for listening!
