It’s Witness Wednesday! At Georgia Tech, Todd Friel asks students simple questions that expose how unclear many people are about God, salvation, sin, and truth.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is back at Georgia Tech where he challenges students on intelligent design, morality, self-righteousness, and what it actually means to be a Christian. Conversations with skeptical engineering students, a Jamaican student named Junior, and a Catholic student named Dan repeatedly expose the same issue: people believe they’re “good enough” for God, but struggle to explain sin, justice, repentance, or why Jesus alone can save.Segment 1• An architecture student admits buildings require designers… but refuses to apply the same logic to the universe.• A biomedical engineering student claims the universe “just fell into place”—so Todd presses him on morality, guilt, and judgment.• The shocking moment: after admitting guilt under God’s law, the student says he still doesn’t care if God exists or judges him.Segment 2• Junior grew up in a Christian home in Jamaica—but realizes he may not actually understand Christianity at all.• Todd walks Junior through lying, lust, blasphemy, and guilt before God… and Junior pushes back hard on blind faith.• “I’m not a sinful person.” Todd challenges the difference between growing up around Christianity and truly knowing Christ.Segment 3• Dan believes “good people” from many religions can make it to heaven—but Todd asks a devastating courtroom question.• If God simply forgives guilty people without punishment… is He actually a just judge?• Todd dismantles salvation-by-good-works and explains why trying harder can never erase guilt before a holy God.Segment 4• Todd explains the difference between earning heaven and receiving forgiveness through Christ alone.• Why your “good works” might actually be offensive to God if they come from a sinful heart.• One of the clearest gospel appeals of the episode: stop striving, die to self, and trust the righteousness of Jesus instead.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd talks with four students on campus, each with some kind of religious background or moral framework. Across the episode, Todd keeps pressing the same essential issue: God is just, man is guilty, and Jesus Christ is the only Savior. The gospel is not moral improvement, religious heritage, spiritual preference, or doing the best you can. It is Christ taking the punishment sinners deserve and crediting His righteousness to those who repent and trust Him. Segment 1 • Casey believes “karma” settles the score—but who’s actually keeping track of right and wrong? • If morality is just personal preference, why does guilt feel so real—and so unavoidable? • Casey admits he doesn’t know the gospel… so what happens when God judges by His standard, not yours? Segment 2 • Nathan says he believes in God—but when asked why, he can’t give a clear answer. Would you? • If you think you’re a “good person,” do you actually pass God’s test—or fail it completely? • The pieces finally connect: if Jesus died for sinners… what does that require from you right now? Segment 3 • Kevin has a Methodist background—but can’t explain what he actually believes. Does that sound familiar? • If nobody’s perfect, shouldn’t effort count? Or does God demand something far higher? • The courtroom analogy hits hard: if you’re guilty, how can justice and mercy both be satisfied?

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel goes to the University of Georgia to engage students in candid, thought-provoking conversations about morality, truth, and Christianity. Through a series of real-world encounters, Todd challenges students to define wisdom, justify their moral beliefs, and explain why they hold their worldview.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Join Todd on campus at Georgia Tech in Atlanta for several real-life, on-the-street witnessing encounters. What does our conscience tell us about God? Do we reject God because that’s where the science leads, or because of something deeper? When we realize we are sinners, is there any hope? All of these questions and more are explored - and Christ is exalted on today’s Witness Wednesday.

Segment 3 • Easter is about hope… but a general appeal to a vague, spiritual hope misses the point. • Big churches might have a glossy, polished Easter message and still fail to preach the gospel. • Could watered-down gospel presentations be creating confident—but false—converts?

Why does it pass in preaching? • When the sermon becomes about the pastor’s life, the word of God is left aside. Segment 3 • Even compelling-sounding Easter messages leave something important out. • Saying “Jesus died for your sins” sounds right… but does it actually explain anything? • Could this missing “why” be the reason people respond emotionally—but never truly understand the gospel?

A quick test exposes lying, lust, theft—and a verdict you probably won’t like. • If God already knew you’d sin, are you still accountable when judgment comes? SEGMENT 3 • Tiernan was told by a Catholic teacher to leave Christianity and explore other beliefs. • If God can erase your guilt, remove your shame, and give you purpose—what’s the reason that you’re rejecting Him? • Is your conscience just psychology… or evidence that you’re accountable to a Creator you can’t ignore? SEGMENT 4 • Tiernan rebuts Todd with the classic objection: the problem of evil. Can Christianity survive this? • Todd reframes the gospel: not just escape from hell, but a complete rewiring of how you think, feel, and see reality. • If Christianity answers guilt, suffering, purpose, and truth—what’s actually stopping you from surrendering today?___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Gabe Hughes • The church must not copy business models or government structures. • Churches chasing worldliness to attract the world lose their distinctiveness.

Segment 1 • 100 students, professing to be Christians, asked one simple question. Can they answer it? • Some share the benefits of a relationship with Christ, but miss the thrust of the gospel. • If an unbeliever heard your testimony, would it actually lead them to Christ?

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is on campus at The University of Georgia where he meets two students who are willing to talk about their religious beliefs. What will happen when their own conscience says “you’re guilty”? The tension builds to a sobering question you can’t dodge: if God judged you today, would you really be ready?Segment 1 • Todd meets Reese, a religion student, and asks: what’s really the difference between atheism and agnosticism? • Can all religions be true at once - or are they mutually exclusive? • The conversation pivots from intellect to conscience as Reese admits moral guilt—what happens when your own standards condemn you? Segment 2 • Todd walks Reese through the Ten Commandments, forcing a personal verdict: guilty. • Jesus is the Lamb who takes your punishment… but does Reese actually want Him? • Reese’s verdict is honest but devastating. Segment 3 • Todd meets Tyler, who admits he doesn’t know the meaning of Easter, which leads Todd to ask: How? • The gospel is explained from creation to resurrection—but Tyler resists one key issue. • Eyewitness evidence for the resurrection is introduced—would 500 witnesses willing to die change your standard for truth?

Segment 1 • Received an email from James, who asked the question last week concerning the difference in the Quran and the Old Testament, where God directs His people to kill those of other nations. He says he accepts your answer as a Christian, but how would you respond to an unbeliever asking the same question—someone who doesn’t believe the God of the Bible is real? — James • I’m 42 and own a pretty successful business. My wife is in real estate, and we’ve been married for over 20 years with two kids. Her income is significantly higher than mine.

Today on Wretched Radio, we listen in to a recent breakout session from the Shepherds Conference, where Phil Johnson addresses the growing push to redefine hell. Annihilationism may sound more reasonable—even more compassionate—but does it actually align with Scripture? As Phil works through the issue, it becomes clear this isn’t just about hell—it touches sin, justice, and the gospel itself.Segment 1 • Phil Johnson explains why the fight over hell is really a fight over biblical authority.• A “nicer” version of hell is gaining traction—and it sounds appealing for a reason.• The question starts to surface: if this changes, what else starts to unravel?Segment 2 • Phil warns how social media is shaping what Christians—even you—believe about God.• “Crowdsourcing your doctrine” sounds harmless… until it leads somewhere dangerous.• A real example of how one influential voice triggered widespread theological confusion. Segment 3 • The emotional objection rises: “this doesn’t feel just”.• The discussion turns to justice—who defines it, and by what standard?• A familiar pattern emerges when hard doctrines start getting softenedSegment 4 • The focus shifts to what’s at stake when hell is minimized.• One doctrinal change starts affecting everything—Scripture, justice, even the cross.• The question lingers: if punishment isn’t eternal… what exactly are you being saved from?___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd hits the streets of downtown Atlanta and talks with a Hare Krishna who believes all religions lead to God—and a college student who isn’t sure what to believe. Different views, same issue. What sounds reasonable at first starts to fall apart when the questions get harder.Segment 1 • Meet Tim, a Hare Krishna devotee who says every religion works—including Christianity• Todd presses the obvious problem: if they contradict each other, how can they all be true?• The conversation turns to God—who He is… or if that idea even holds together.Segment 2 • Tim speaks highly of Jesus—but only as one option among many.• Todd brings up Jesus’ own words, and the tension gets unavoidable.• The discussion centers on whether you can accept Jesus without actually believing what He said.Segment 3 • Meet Hannah, a college student who’s “on the fence” but has plenty of objections.• Science, bad Christians, and church history all come up—but none of them settle the issue.• The conversation shifts from ideas to something more personal.Segment 4 • Hannah says she’s a good person—until that claim gets tested.• A few simple questions bring up lying, stealing, and guilt.• If we’re truly guilty before God, what’s the solution?___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Do you challenge someone’s salvation at the end of life? • Paul Washer presses John MacArthur with a soul-check instead of comfort—was it bold faithfulness or unnecessary tension? • You’ll be in that room someday—make sure you’re ready to minister when eternity is hours away. Segment 2 • Emotional viral clips expose what actually matters—legacy, family, and relationships—not the life you’re chasing. • Culture sells nonstop self-focus, but the real “big wins” are quiet, relational, and deeply eternal. • A direct challenge: are you investing in moments that will matter on your deathbed—or just staying busy? Segment 3 • A listener wrestles with guilt: are hobbies like chess or cooking a spiritual distraction—or can they glorify God? • The dangerous lie: “If I’m not thinking about God constantly, I’m failing spiritually.” • The freeing framework: how to connect your faith to everything without turning life into forced religious activity.

Segment 1 • Why are evangelicals so divided over modern-day Israel? Todd Friel and Albert Mohler break down the debate. • Tucker Carlson presses hard: Does Ted Cruz actually know what the Bible says about Israel—or are Christians misusing Genesis? • Is the promise in the Book of Genesis about the Jewish people… or today’s political nation of Israel? Segment 2 • Are Christians biblically required to support modern Israel—or is that an oversimplification many believers repeat without thinking? • A crucial distinction most Christians miss: biblical Israel vs. the modern nation-state founded in 1948. • The deeper issue: if God made covenant promises to Israel, can those promises ever be cancelled—or transferred to the church? Segment 3 • Carlson’s challenge: How do we even know who today’s Jewish people are after centuries of dispersion? • Mohler responds with a surprising argument about anti-Semitism. • A prophetic twist emerges—Scripture points toward a massive future turning of Jewish people to Christ. Segment 4 • Does God’s land promise stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates—and should Israel control it today? • Mohler explains the theological tension Christians already understand: the “already vs. not yet” of God’s promises. • A warning for believers: casual hostility toward Israel may reveal a dangerous misunderstanding of God’s covenant faithfulness.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

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.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Join Todd Friel on campus at Kennesaw State University to discuss Jesus Christ, His gospel and THE truth - not my truth, or your truth, but the truth - Jesus Christ himself. Prepare to be challenged and encouraged as real, every day beliefs are put to the test of biblical truth. Segment 1 • Luke says truth is “whatever works for you.” Todd presses the logic: if truth is personal, could someone justify harming children if it benefits them? • The conversation exposes the collapse of moral relativism—without an objective authority, right and wrong become mere preferences. • Todd asks the ultimate courtroom question: If Luke stood before God today, why should he be forgiven? Segment 2 • Luke wrestles with a common college dilemma: If people grow up in different religions, how can anyone claim Christianity is the truth? • Todd argues that truth ends the search—if Jesus truly rose from the dead, competing worldviews are eliminated. • Luke admits he’s still searching, prompting Todd to explain why the gospel uniquely answers life’s biggest questions. Segment 3 • Malcolm confidently says he believes in God and purpose—but struggles to explain why someone else should believe the gospel. • Todd walks him through a simple apologetic: complex design points to a Creator and a moral lawgiver. • The conversation pivots to the core issue: if we are guilty before a holy God, how can justice be satisfied? Segment 4 • Kenya believes good people go to God by doing right and asking forgiveness—but Todd presses the problem: would a just judge simply overlook crimes? • Through careful questions, Todd helps Kenya see why Jesus’ death is necessary for God to forgive sinners without ignoring justice. • The conversation ends with the most urgent question: If someone were about to die, what must they do right now to be saved?___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • A coalition of liberal theologians claims democracy is collapsing and urges Christians to “resist”. • Todd unpacks the irony of condemning “Christian nationalism” while using faith to pressure government policy. • The emotional language sounds righteous on the surface—but once you slow it down, does it actually hold up? Segment 2 • “Every person bears God’s image”—but does that automatically determine public policy? • Todd challenges the logic of using biblical truths to justify specific political outcomes without defining terms. • A powerful persuasion tactic is exposed: overwhelm your opponent so disagreement makes you look cruel. Segment 3 • A prominent conservative Baptist leader converts to Roman Catholicism—how does someone go from “grace alone” to a works-based system? • The deep psychological pull of tradition, history, and apostolic lineage. • Why parents must ground their children in the doctrine of the true, invisible Church before someone else defines their heritage for them. Segment 4 • A growing number of Christians now trust AI for spiritual advice more than their pastors. • Todd explains why AI doesn’t give you truth—it often gives you what you want to hear. • Massive layoffs, sermon prep shortcuts, and the quiet erosion of pastoral authority—are we outsourcing discernment?___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 2 • She admits she “hated God” because she believed a false version of Him. • Todd spotlights how biblical counseling targets wrong theology before behavior change can last. • “Radical amputation” shows up as practical wisdom: removing triggers, not worshiping mirrors. Segment 3 • A “sanctification plan” includes a failure plan so setbacks don’t become spiritual collapse. • Katie’s progress includes accountability, routines, and letting others into what used to be secret. • The danger of denial: “I don’t have a problem” → no safeguards → isolation → despair. Segment 4 • A tiny booklet on “the quest for thinness” reframes eating disorders as God-excluding self-rule. • Todd challenges the secret-keeping and “control language” behind starving, binging, or purging • Practical next steps: confess honestly, learn who God is, ask for help, speak truth, prepare for failure—because you have an Advocate.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 2 • French student rejects organized religion—but concedes design may imply a Designer. • Confronted with the moral law: Are you good by God’s standard—or just by your own? • Hears the gospel clearly contrasted with every other religion: “Do” vs. “Done.” Segment 3 • Professing Christian claims Jesus is the “tipping point”—but hesitates when truth becomes exclusive. • Todd presses to explain why Christianity alone is true—and why other faiths are wrong. • The gospel is made painstakingly clear: We go to heaven by faith—not because we’re “good.” Segment 4 • Georgia Tech student accepts design logic—but questions who designed the Designer. • Claims to be “generally good”—until conscience is examined under God’s law. • Hears a direct appeal: justice demands payment—but mercy offers substitution.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Join Todd as he goes back to his home-state of Minnesota to conduct real-life, on-the-street interviews and have gospel conversations with a number of people coming from different backgrounds and worldviews. From important theological realities like sin, judgment, and the gospel to the real-world implications of our beliefs, like human rights, abortion, and evangelism, God’s truth is brought to bear. Segment 1 • A chemistry grad student claims he lives to glorify God, but Todd’s clarifying question reveals confusion. • Todd’s parachute analogy exposes a massive divide: are you following Jesus to improve your life—or to escape judgment? • The student affirms grace is essential but struggles to articulate how someone is actually saved. Segment 2 • Julie, a self-identified Catholic, confidently says she’s good enough to go to heaven, but an examination by way of the ten commandments says otherwise. • When Todd compares God to a courtroom judge, Julie faces a devastating dilemma: if God is just, how can guilty people escape punishment? • Julie knows Jesus died for sins—but can’t explain how to receive forgiveness. Segment 3 • A group of graduate students overwhelmingly choose to save a stranger over their own dog—but struggle to explain why human life has greater value. • Several students admit they “hope” they’re good people, while others openly say morality is relative or self-defined, exposing the instability of subjective ethics. • One student invents his own religion, another rejects absolutes, and others admit uncertainty about the afterlife. Segment 4 • A thoughtful student chooses to save school children over 500 strangers—raising uncomfortable implications for abortion, aging, and human worth. • When confronted with death, she can only suggest making peace with “whoever or whatever you believe in”. • Todd challenges listeners directly: if someone had seconds to live, could you clearly explain how to be saved—or would you struggle like most?___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd heads back to campus at Georgia Tech to discuss faith, morality, and Jesus himself with several real-life students. Whatever the topic, whoever the student, the question stays the same: is Jesus who He says He is - and if so, what does that mean for you? Segment 1 • Orrin says he’s a Christian—but when pressed on truth, postmodernism, and being “born again,” does his faith rest on feelings or repentance and faith? • Todd forces the question most avoid: If Hinduism says one thing and Christianity another—can both be right? • Todd brings Orrin to consider whether or not he has truly been born again.

Is Hinduism wrong? • The reason for anyone going to heaven is made clear: not our good deeds, not what we’ve done - but what Christ has done for us.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Questions of deep theology and practical application are addressed in a must-hear question and answer segment during Todd’s recent trip to Oklahoma State University. If you want to see the Christian worldview brought to bear in real-time on real-world questions, you’ve come to the right place. Segment 1 • Bishop Tom Brown questions the trend of evangelical deconstruction, and asks if there can be a positive element to it. • Todd explains that most who deconstruct are not interested in putting the pieces back together again. • A young man in the audience asks how we can feel RIGHTLY - how we can balance our emotions without denying them totally. Segment 2 • Laney asks Todd how we can reach the portion of society that isn’t interested in actually finding the truth - and may not think it exists at all. • A young man asks how husbands should rightly lead their families in the era of post-modernity and radical subjectivity that we live in. • Ben asks how to reach the agnostics in society who don’t care what Christianity has to say. Segment 3 • Student Brennan asks about the weighty question of God’s sovereignty and goodness when considered against the pain and suffering that is allowed in this world. • Todd goes in depth showing how the existence of evil in this world, far from disproving God, actually necessitates God’s existence. • Alec asks: how can we dispel the notion in the minds of unbelievers that Christianity is just a bunch of stuff we have to do to get on the “nice list”? Segment 4 • Todd continues his answer to the last question, showing how Christianity is not burdensome but, rather, the most liberating thing for God’s creatures. • Todd is asked a heavy philosophical question about the metaphysical presuppositions of the ancient world, and how Christ shows us truth in every area - even philosophy. • As helpful as apologetics can be in certain circumstances, Todd shows us the primacy of Christ and sharing the gospel in attempting to win souls - not arguments.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Lots of us in the south cancelled gathering last Sunday due to inclement weather - and there are spiritual consequences to skipping church. • Church isn’t something we do just to do - it’s a weekly realignment of our lives. • Even when gathering is hard, faithful churches find creative ways to feed their flocks. Segment 2 • Kevin DeYoung models how to preach a one-off sermon with clarity, structure, and gospel power. • Biblical preaching must consider the genre of the text. Historical narrative, poetry, wisdom, and gospels don’t all preach the exact same. • The aim in good preaching isn’t just increasing knowledge, but to draw sinners to Christ as we learn more about him and are conformed to His image. Segment 3 • Disturbing church protests raise questions for parents: what if your child is trapped in the chaos? • Churches must prepare now — when agitators disrupt worship, there won’t be time to get ready. • Comparing violent protests to Jesus cleansing the temple is biblical malpractice. Segment 4 • Churches are absorbing secular values — “Flamy Grant” drag shows prove it’s more than a trend. • Postmodern self-expression is replacing reverence for biblical truth in pulpits and pews. • As persecution rises globally, now’s the time to clarify our mission: be holy, not popular.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Through several conversations, listen along as the truth of God’s word is brought to bear on the worldview of several real-life students. Segment 1 • Todd Friel stops an architecture student and uses a building’s design to argue for a Creator. • The student insists the universe isn’t really “organized,” pushing Todd to press the bigger question: How much evidence is enough? • The conversation turns into a blunt reality check about what people ignore every day, even when it’s right in front of their nose. Segment 2 • Todd talks with a biomedical engineering student who says that some “impossible” events are totally plausible. • The student claims morality is subjective and shrugs off guilt—until Todd uses the Ten Commandments to test the “good person” claim. • The exchange ends with the student frankly admitting he doesn’t care about judgment. Segment 3 • Todd meets Junior from Jamaica, who calls himself a Christian… but can’t explain the gospel clearly. • Todd walks Junior through God’s law, exposing how “good person” confidence collapses under honest self-examination. • Junior admits he’s still “searching,” and Todd urges him not to confuse religious familiarity with true saving faith. Segment 4 • Todd speaks with Dan, a Catholic civil engineering student, and presses the logic of salvation-by-good-works until it breaks. • The courtroom analogy lands hard: being “sorry” or doing “extra good” doesn’t erase real guilt, or satisfy justice. • Todd lays out the “great exchange” and calls listeners to stop striving, repent, and trust Christ alone before it’s too late.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Which clip is more cloying? • A progressive clergy stunt as woke pastors storm the lobby of Target HQ. • Tony Robbins gives worldly wisdom to a suicidal man and turns it into a joke about his shoes. Segment 2 • Jesse Duplantis and his prosperity preaching is almost totally unmatched in terms of blasphemy. • Prosperity preaches point you towards getting more stuff while scripture points you towards getting more of someone - Jesus. • The inheritance we have waiting for us after this life makes earthly wealth look like nothing. Segment 3 • The recent scandal from Phillip Yancey begs the question: why are so many older saints failing to finish well? • The church cannot afford to adopt the world’s definition of love, but must see it as God’s word does. • A good finish to the Christian life takes time and training… but it can leave an incredible impact. Segment 4 • That image of someone collapsing right before the finish line of a race? That could happen to anyone. • We need to be close to people in the church so that they can tap us on the shoulder when we’re faltering. • Don’t get tired, don’t give in to pain - run the race well.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • The political shifts in Minnesota across recent decades have been cataclysmic. • Anti-ICE protesters storm a church mid-service, with cameras rolling. • Peter’s letters on sanctified suffering suddenly read like tomorrow’s news — are you prepared? Segment 2 • How would you handle political protestors storming the doors of your church? • Our suffering must be grounded in our salvation: what Christ has done for us. • Focusing on Jesus and His work - like the pastor of that church did - is the only way to weather the coming storm. Segment 3 • We must think about how scary-good AI is getting. • We are creatures that are made to work - and we should not offload all of our work to machines. • There are elements of the human experience that will never be able to be replicated by robots. Segment 4 • AI is the next in a line of extreme technological advancements that humanity has faced. • Where will things be with AI and automation a decade from now? • Do we need to prepare ourselves for pastors that aren’t strictly human?___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Not all doctrinal errors are created equal: some are skin-deep, while some are truly fatal. • Denying core attributes of God (justice, omnipotence, Trinity) moves you firmly outside Christian orthodoxy. • Secondary issues can quietly morph into primary threats if they implicate larger, more central theological issues. Segment 2 • Hell may be a secondary issue… but it’s not just a “friendly disagreement.” • Rejecting eternal punishment often stems from seeking to redefine God’s character as only loving. • It may seem harmless, but it warps the gospel and threatens scriptural foundations. Segment 3 • Phil Johnson says that questions can be asked, but not every doctrine should be endlessly debated. • If one wants to deny hell, one usually has to get around some pretty clear words from Jesus. • Most historical rejections of hell came from cults or liberal fringe—not the faithful church. Segment 4 • Today’s “just asking questions” mindset is often doubt disguised as curiosity. • Hell isn’t up for revision—it’s central to Jesus’ message and the urgency of the gospel. • Tone matters, but clarity matters more: eternal conscious torment is the historic, biblical truth.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

s justice to adjust for human tastes. • Theological liberalism grew where a biblical fear of God faded. Segment 4 • Each generation reshapes God, in some way, to fit its comfort level. • Vatican II and modern psychology blurred the lines on judgment and accountability. • As God becomes more “sentimental,” hell disappears—and so does the gospel.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1: • Let’s talk about hell. • The church has been debating and systematizing beliefs on hell as long as Christianity has been around. • Certain beliefs about hell, like annihilationism and universalism, have been outside the bounds of orthodoxy for thousands of years. Segment 2 • Many church fathers were crystal clear—hell is eternal punishment. • Annihilationism is in the grey: not heresy, and certainly not orthodoxy. • If hell isn’t eternal, we truly have no urgency to see people saved. Segment 3 • Some claim Luther doubted hell—he didn’t. He affirmed eternal, conscious torment. • Jonathan Edwards’ view? The terrible sinfulness of sin deserves equally momentous justice. • Minimizing hell minimizes sin, and ultimately minimizes God’s justice against sin. Segment 4 • William G.T. Shedd: early Christians didn’t even entertain annihilationism. • The clearest voice on hell? Jesus Himself - and he makes the eternality of hell clear. • If universalism is true, then the cross becomes unnecessary.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • When can we address an event without it being gossip? • As we get older, the temptations and challenges that we face change too. • We’re not gossiping about anyone - but these are warnings that apply to everyone. Segment 2 • A respected Christian author admits to an 8-year affair. How did this happen? • As we get older, we can get bogged down with fatigue and complacency. • If we grow soft and lethargic, our theology leans that way too. Segment 3 • Older Christians don’t automatically become wiser. • When leaders aren’t held accountable, they can drift in silence for years. • Isolation makes us vulnerable. If no one can speak truth and accountability into your life, you’re in danger. Segment 4 • We will not be free of temptation and sin until this life is over. • Don’t wait until it’s too late - be on the lookout for signs of “softening”. • 5 warning signs: Bible boredom, church indifference, gospel apathy, worldly comfort, and minimized sin.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 3 • 2025 contained so many painful losses. • Parenting - raising and training depraved sinners - is simply hard work. • Hard year or not, Christians still raise their eyes in hope.

Segment 2 • Atheists can follow the logic of pro-life arguments—but without God, they borrow Christian morality. • Scott sees pro-life work as a Great Commission issue, not just a cultural cause. • Gospel clarity matters: imputed righteousness vs. infused goodness makes all the difference. Segment 3 • Can Christians work with Catholics, rabbis, and others on pro-life issues without endorsing false unity? • Scott speaks at ecumenical events, but maintains theological distinctions. • Abolition vs. incrementalism isn’t a moral divide. We all want the same outcome. Segment 4 • Everyone’s an abolitionist in principle, but our political reality often forces incremental action. • True moral conviction works within constraints to save as many as possible. • Incremental efforts have saved lives, and abandoning them over idealism can cost more innocent lives.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Our guest host today is Fortis Institute Fellow Libby Glosson from The Better Way Podcast!

Segment 2 • The Bible doesn’t say “suck it up”, but submit emotions to truth. • Even “hidden” feelings like anger or fear can be sinful if they contradict God’s Word. • What do your emotions reveal about what you worship? Segment 3 • Emotional exhibitionism turns private feelings into public performances. • Oversharing isn’t always authenticity—it can be manipulation masked as vulnerability. • Biblical modesty isn’t just about clothing, but we carry our hearts, too. Segment 4 • What does it mean to show our emotions indecently? • True modesty humbles the heart—no gushing, no tantrums, no self-advertising. • Sanctification shapes not just your mind and behavior, but your emotions too.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 2 • Most UFO sightings are predictable science, not extraterrestrial visitors. • Scripture makes Earth the center of God’s plan—no need for alien saviors. • The burden isn’t on Christians to disprove aliens, but on skeptics to prove them. Segment 3 • The world’s climate has always changed, and warming has historically been a positive thing. • Modern panic relies on conjectural models, not measurable facts. • Carbon isn’t the enemy; it fuels food, life, and growth.

Segment 3 • Denying Adam’s literal existence crumbles the foundation of sin, death, and redemption. • Genesis reads as real history—grammar, structure, and Jesus affirm it. • Evolutionary compromise leads to gospel confusion and theological collapse.

Segment 1 • You can sit under “expository preaching” and still starve spiritually if it never aims for your heart. • Teaching the text without any application turns sermons into lectures. • Some preachers have settled for mere information over true transformation. Segment 2 • Paul Washer calls out sermons that inform the mind but leave eternity untouched. • If your pastor doesn’t plead with you about heaven and hell, souls are in danger—including yours. • True preaching doesn’t just explain verses—it confronts sin and stirs obedience. Segment 3 • “Cleverneutics” makes Scripture say theological novelties. • If a teacher always sounds innovative, you should be on your guard. • Word games and cleverness oftentimes obscure straightforward, biblical truth. Segment 4 • Some pastors distort Scripture with “creative” theology instead of submitting to it. • Answers in Genesis reminds us: Christianity isn’t about novelty—it’s about time-worn truths that save. • The danger isn’t just bad sermons, but loss of confidence in the truth of Scripture.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd engages two Georgia Tech students on issues like sin, morality, and the afterlife. Listen along as real, street-level evangelism is done to God’s glory. Segment 1 • Philip admits the Christian God makes the most sense but refuses to submit because he doesn’t want his lifestyle to change. • He confesses he knows God’s rules, knows they’re real, and still chooses to live how he wants and “take his chances with death.” • Todd uses God’s law (lying, lust, blasphemy) to show Philip he’s not “basically good,” but a willful rebel against a God he knows exists. Segment 2 • Philip clearly says he understands hell, believes he’d go there, and is still content to keep enjoying sin “for a season.” • He admits he’s weighing Jesus versus his current pleasures and, for now, deliberately chooses sin, thinking he can always reconsider later. • Todd warns that greater knowledge brings greater judgment, prays that Philip’s conscience will torment him in his sin, and pleads with him to see Jesus as better than “fun” and temporary pleasure. Segment 3 • Scott, sporting royal blue hair and loving the attention, says he’ll only conform to laws he personally deems just—rejecting God’s laws as unfair. • He argues that if God created people with their flaws, God is responsible for their sins and has no right to punish them. • Scott calls the God of the Bible evil, citing genocides and hell as proof, and leans on Dawkins-style thinking while insisting humans aren’t basically bad. Segment 4 • Todd shares the tribal-king story where the ruler takes the lashes his guilty son deserves, using it as a picture of Jesus taking God’s wrath in our place. • He explains that sin against an infinitely holy God deserves infinite punishment, and that the cross is how God remains both just and merciful. • Scott still rejects eternal punishment and substitution as unjust, while Todd urges listeners to see the cross as the greatest act of kindness ever offered to a guilty sinner.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • The #1 song on the charts is AI-generated. • Can something that a machine created truly be considered worship? • Worship isn’t simply content… it’s communion with a personal God. Segment 2 • AI music might seem slick— but it lacks true soul. • You wouldn’t watch robots play football… so why let them lead worship? • AI sermons may soon multiply, but authentic worship can’t be automated. Segment 3 • Praising God with stuff your computer wrote is laziness, not worship. • “AI worship” exposes how shallow modern Christianity and the western church is becoming. • Our secular culture is trying to tell us that “climate change denial” is a spiritual issue. Segment 4 • Government handouts are not the fruits of the Spirit. • If generosity is required by the government, it’s no longer truly generous or charitable. • True giving flows from a renewed heart, not from legislation.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • America gives thanks… but to whom? • Christmas without Christ becomes consumer therapy, not worship. • When God is removed, holidays keep the name but lose the meaning.

Segment 3 • Marijuana has become America’s coping mechanism for family holidays. • If you need to be high to survive Thanksgiving, something’s broken. • God offers peace that doesn’t fade, fog, or numb. Segment 4 • Anger, bitterness, fear—truth defeats what therapy slogans can’t. • Memorized Scripture is emergency ammunition for the soul. • Assurance doesn’t come from feeling strong — it comes from knowing Christ saves and keeps.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd talks with Michael and Thomas on campus at Kennesaw State University. Simple questions turn into deep conversations about Christianity and true, saving faith.

SEGMENT 2 • Michael insists God would still call him innocent because He is forgiving. • Todd explains why mercy without justice would make God unjust. • The gospel is clearly presented: sin debt paid, record cleared, righteousness given.

Segment 1 • Todd is joined by Megan Basham for a conversation about today’s theological and political hot topics. • Todd asks: what’s the draw behind Nick Fuentes for so many young men? • Beneath the controversy lies a deeper question: why does the church no longer satisfy these men? Segment 2 • By and large, the church isn’t effectively addressing the roles of men and women. • Young men are craving clarity on strength, purpose, and leadership. • The vacuum of biblical masculinity gets filled by loud, angry substitutes. Segment 3 • “Muscular Christianity” is rising — in part as a reaction to soft preaching. • Feminism, porn, and passivity have deformed both genders — and the pulpit rarely names it. • The church must reclaim a vision of holiness, courage, and self-sacrifice in male leadership. Segment 4 • Feminism blurred gender roles — and now both men and women are disoriented. • The fix isn’t anger; it’s discipleship — training men to lead, protect, and love like Christ. • Recovering biblical manhood begins not online, but in the local church.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Matthew bases salvation on “being good” and repentance through Roman Catholic sacraments. • Todd uses courtroom logic to show that God’s standard is perfect love of God and neighbor. • The tension becomes clear: Can a just God overlook sin, or do we need a savior who satisfies justice? Segment 2 • Todd presses Matthew on Ephesians 2:8–9, challenging his belief that works and sacraments contribute to salvation. • Matthew struggles to reconcile Catholic teaching with Scripture’s claim that salvation “is a gift… not of works.” • Todd introduces imputed righteousness, Christ’s perfect record credited to the sinner. Segment 3 • Matthew insists new birth happens after death, contradicting Jesus’ words that one must be born again now to enter God’s kingdom. • Todd urges him to “get downwind” of himself and see his true guilt before a holy God. • The call becomes personal: abandon self‑reliance, repent, and trust entirely in Christ for salvation. Segment 4 • Todd meets another student who is a professing Christian. This student struggles to articulate why someone should believe in God, relying mostly on logic and science. • Todd role‑plays an evangelistic conversation, demonstrating how to move past intellectual debate. • Ultimately, the student affirms repentance and belief in Christ as the way to be saved but reveals areas needing deeper gospel clarity.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Modern culture has made “safety” its idol; every discomfort is treated like trauma. • Scripture flips the script: danger isn’t just outside - it’s inside you. • If your biggest threat is the outside world, you’ll live in fear. If it’s your own heart, you’ll run to Christ. Segment 2 • “Safety-based” psychology is invading schools; students are learning to pathologize conviction. • Polyvagal Theory (born 1994) ignores man’s spiritual nature—an anthropological train wreck. • The Bible says transformation comes by renewing the mind, not regulating vagus nerves. Segment 3 • The real concern is kids weaponizing therapy language against parents. • Britain officially affirms cousin marriage—a symbol of moral decay in the West. • Even theologians like N.T. Wright drift from biblical authority, showing the slope is real.

Segment 1 • Polyvagal Theory is quietly infiltrating schools just like mindfulness and meditation did. • It seeks to explains the “fight or flight” response, but only addresses our physical body. • The deeper issue? Our slavery to sin and death. Segment 2 • Polyvagal Theory blames issues on perceived “lack of safety”, but the Bible says it’s sin. • It’s this type of thinking that has brought about the “safe space” trend. • Real, transformative healing begins at the heart, not the nervous system. Segment 3 • A bold woman asks Megyn Kelly: “Would you go to heaven tonight?” • Megyn’s unsure, yet searching and says she has been attending (a Roman Catholic) Church. • God wants you to be 100% sure — not just “hopeful.” Segment 4 • Mormon theology misunderstands baptism, family, and the afterlife. • Mormons tie heaven to family lineage — but God wants YOUR heart. • You can’t afford to miss the true gospel, and the Mormons get it wrong.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 2 • What modern culture’s art reveals about our collapsing morals. • How the sexual revolution promised freedom but enslaved women instead. • Why God’s design for sex leads to protection, dignity, and lasting joy. Segment 3 • Can a robot really heal your mind? NPR thinks so—Dr. Gifford says you’re missing the real problem. • What if “mental health” is the world’s counterfeit for mind renewal? • The cure for misery isn’t found in medicine—it’s found in this.

Segment 1 • A major ecumenical event happened in the Sistine Chapel. • Meanwhile, thousands of churches are breaking from the UMC and the Anglican church. • This push toward unification looks spiritual but could blur gospel clarity. Segment 2 • The Great Commission isn’t about church branding — it’s about disciple-making. • Cultural trends like “ghosting your parents” reveal deep spiritual drift, especially in the home. • We must stay focused: carrying the gospel is the church’s primary job. Segment 3 • New surveys show many Americans prefer to watch church online. • Spiritual formation is happening more through screens than through shepherds. • Your children are watching and learning from how you treat church.

Segment 1 • Sanctification isn’t “just stop it” — it’s put off and put on (Eph 4:22-24). • True change means replacing sin with Spirit-driven habits. • If you’re dry, bitter, or hurting — don’t wait to feel it; start doing what grows desire. Segment 2 – The Math of Holiness • Dr. Greg Gifford explains the biblical equation: Put off + Put on = Growth. • Sanctification isn’t just subtraction alone; holiness must also be put on. • Lasting change happens when obedience fills the space sin used to occupy. Segment 3 – The Trojan Horse in Your Church • “Contextualization” can smuggle worldliness into worship. • The church loses it’s unique purpose as salt and light when it trades truth for relatability. • Baby-talk preaching creates baby-faith Christians. Segment 4 • Paul’s “all things” meant removing cultural barriers, not rewriting the gospel. • Contextualization becomes compromise when it reshapes truth to fit culture. • Faithful preaching feeds sheep, not the world.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Nick says evolution explains the appearance of design, but Todd pushes back. • Though raised Catholic and Hindu, Nick says he believes in “something above us” but isn’t sure one religion has the full truth. • Todd walks Nick through why Jesus’ payment for sin is necessary. Segment 2 • Todd presses Nick on objective truth: if Jesus rose, it’s true for everyone. • Todd argues truth doesn’t depend on culture or birthplace, but Nick says otherwise. • Todd says that if Jesus beat death, then His claims demand a verdict. Segment 3 • Jordan and Todd discuss rising suicide and mental illness rates. • Todd connects it to worldview: if life is meaningless and subjective, despair makes sense. • Jordan agrees that postmodernism leaves people empty. Segment 4 • Jordan calls herself a Christian but admits she can’t articulate why Jesus’ death matters. • Todd explains the purpose of life through the gospel. • By the end, Jordan quietly confesses: “I might not actually be saved.”___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Dr. Jason Lisle distinguishes astrology’s superstition from astronomy’s worship-worthy science. • The James Webb Telescope’s discoveries confirm creationist predictions. • The universe shouts intelligent design and divine order—not cosmic accident. Segment 2 • “Intelligent Design” without Christ stops short of truth; science points to the Savior. • Every Big Bang “fix” (inflation, antimatter, etc.) exposes faith in speculation over observation. • Scripture alone makes sense of the cosmos—science confirms it; sin corrupts it. Segment 3 • Denying a literal Adam dismantles the gospel: no actual fall means no need for a Redeemer. • Genesis reads as history, not myth; Jesus and the apostles affirmed it as fact. • The cross makes no sense if sin didn’t enter through one real man. Segment 4 • Old-earth models (Day-Age, Gap Theory) break Hebrew grammar and biblical chronology. • Death before sin contradicts God’s “very good” creation and the atonement itself. • The timeline debate isn’t about science—it’s about trusting God’s Word over man’s ideas.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Dr. Andrew Walker calls the breakdown of the family the defining moral crisis of our time. • Marriage decline fuels social chaos—poverty, instability, and moral confusion. • God’s design for marriage and family is not arbitrary—it’s the foundation of ordered liberty and human flourishing. Segment 2 • Natural law exposes that everyone already knows right from wrong—it’s written on our hearts. • Even secular thinkers are waking up: moral order only works if it’s built on God’s image of man. • From gender ideology to justice systems, every moral crisis goes back to rejecting Genesis 1. Segment 3 • A “Christian nation” without conversion is just moral window dressing. • True change comes through evangelism, not state-enforced religion. • Romans 13 defines government’s limits—protect order, not dictate theology. Segment 4 • The Bible gives the state a sword, not a soul: maintain justice, don’t play savior. • Big government creates dependency; strong churches create stability. • Christians should champion a small-state, big-church vision—pray for rulers, evangelize freely, live humbly.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Trump’s uncertainty about heaven reveals confusion over grace vs. works. • Roman Catholic Matt Walsh misrepresents Protestant assurance. • Assurance isn’t arrogance: true believers persevere because Christ keeps them. Segment 2 • Matt Walsh calls eternal security a modern invention—but church history disagrees.• Early church fathers affirmed God preserves His elect. • Works prove salvation; they don’t earn it—conditional security destroys peace and produces fear. Segment 3 • Scripture is overwhelmingly clear: God keeps those He saves. • Salvation rooted in Christ, not in your consistency or performance. • Assurance fuels holiness—fear-based religion produces exhaustion, not transformation. Segment 4 • God’s children never lose their adoption—salvation is irrevocable. • Adoption turns fear into confidence; believers can rest in the Father’s love. • Once declared His child, you can’t be “unadopted”—your security is sealed in Christ.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 3 • Todd walks through God’s standard of holiness, exposing sin through thought life and the Ten Commandments. • William admits guilt and agrees he’d deserve punishment if judged by God’s standards. • Todd explains penal substitution: Jesus took the wrath William deserves so he could be declared righteous. Segment 4 – What Does It Mean to Be Born Again? • Todd clarifies being born again: not baptism, but spiritual rebirth through repentance and faith. • William expresses openness but says he needs time; Todd warns delay is dangerous and urges urgent repentance. • Todd challenges William to respond to the gospel—not just ponder it.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1 • Theology isn’t just intellectual — it should change everything about how you live. • Our eschatology teaches us to live with expectancy and purpose. • Even ordinary encounters (like dinner with Cody Rhodes) can remind us that what you believe shapes how you behave. Segment 2 • The postmodern church trades conviction for comfort—Jesus’ exclusivity gets downplayed. • “Nice” replaces holy: loose morality, shallow sermons, and emotional experiences over truth. • True churches teach on sin, repentance, and Christ alone—not self-help or motivational speaking. Segment 3 • Modern psychology can’t cure what’s spiritual—it ignores the biblical view of the soul. • Only the Word of God can transform the mind and bring real healing. • Life Without the Numb (now on Fortis Plus) exposes how our culture has redefined the mind. Segment 4 • What if we’ve accepted inferior solutions for our minds? • Real renewal happens when God’s truth—not therapy trends—shapes our thinking. • Life Without the Numb helps believers rediscover how God heals from the inside out.___Thanks for listening!Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

Segment 1
• Conflict is universal—but Scripture calls us to reconciliation, not mere peacekeeping.
• The real issue isn’t the other person’s behavior; it’s the heart.
• True biblical reconciliation begins with self-examination—owning your part before God.
Segment 2
• Conflict isn’t caused by personalities—it’s fueled by idolatrous desires that demand control, comfort, or respect.
• Even good desires become sinful when they replace God as the highest priority.
• Real peace comes from surrendering our sinful desires and letting Christ rule the heart.
Segment 3
• Repentance isn’t a one-time event—it’s the daily rhythm of the Christian life.
• True repentance means more than “I’m sorry”; it’s a Spirit-led change of direction.
• Without repentance, conflict festers; with it, relationships are restored stronger than before.
Segment 4
• Forgiveness is the final step to true reconciliation—it mirrors God’s grace toward us.
• To forgive repeatedly takes faith, but remembering how much God has forgiven you makes it possible.
• Forgiveness frees you from the prison of resentment and rebuilds trust in God’s justice.

Wait a minute — that’s not Todd! Today on Wretched Radio, Fortis Institute Fellow and The Better Way host Libby Glosson steps in as guest host to help us think about emotions and the role they play in the life of a Christian.
Segment 1
• Culture pushes emotional extremes: either vent everything or suppress everything.
• How should Christians think about emotions and emotional struggles?
• Are we discipling our emotions biblically, or letting culture shape them?
Segment 2
• Bible doesn’t say “suck it up” – instead, submit emotions to God’s Word.
• Sin can be internal—fear, anger, despair can dishonor God before action.
• Goal: sanctified emotions—Spirit-enabled responses that glorify God.
Segment 3
• Danger of the opposite ditch: emotional indulgence and exhibitionism.
• Culture says “follow your heart”—leads to gossip, ranting, victimhood.
• True modesty: fade to the background, count others more significant.
Segment 4
• Emotional exhibitionism = emotional immodesty; both dishonor God.
• Public venting and oversharing dishonor family and relationships.
• Sanctification includes emotions: Christ is reshaping minds, wills, and hearts.

Segment 1

• Sin doesn’t erase salvation—our hope rests in Christ, not in the size of our faith.

• Depression doesn’t mean someone isn’t a believer; many Christians quietly carry this weight.
• Common roots vary, but biblical clarity brings hope.
Segment 3
• New Fortis series by Dr. Greg Gifford exposes the rise of psychiatric control over many believers.
• Clifford Beers’ reforms medicalized the mind, blurring distinctions between brain, mind, and soul.

• Symptoms may be treated, but deeper, root issues remain untouched by much secular psychiatry.
• Dr. Greg Gifford addresses these issues and many others in new series, “Life Without The Numb”.

It’s Witness Wednesday!
In today’s episode, Todd Friel visits Kennesaw State University to engage with students on matters of faith and beliefs. First, Todd talks with Mateo, where they discuss Easter, its significance in Christianity, and personal accountability before God. Todd also has the chance to speak with a student on the meaning of life and the importance of faith.
Segment 1:
• Mateo is Catholic, but unsure about the true meaning of Easter.
• Believes he’s a “pretty good person” and that God will be impressed with his life.
• Todd patiently walks him through the Law, showing why sorrow alone can’t erase guilt—and why Jesus’ resurrection is everything.
Segment 2:
• Mateo leans on good works and God’s mercy rather than justice satisfied.
• Todd uses Old Testament imagery (Passover lamb, animal sacrifice) to help Mateo connect the dots: Jesus was the final blood sacrifice.
• Mateo starts to grasp the real meaning of Easter—and admits he’s unsure if he’s truly been born again.
Segment 3:
• Our next student lives by a “do what makes you happy” philosophy—says personal fulfillment is the goal.
• Todd challenges his worldview: What happens when happiness runs dry? Is there anything more stable?
• Ex-Christian by association, he admits he doesn’t know what Christianity is really about.
Segment 4:
• Todd continues his talk with the ex-Christian student and dismantles his moral relativism using the 10 Commandments.
• Realizes he’d be guilty before a holy God and deserves judgment—but sees the beauty of grace through Jesus.
• Learns salvation is not about “trying harder,” but about receiving Christ’s perfect record by faith alone.

Segment 1:
• Kirk’s assassination sparked memes and laughter—proof of hollowed-out consciences.
• “Demons among us” isn’t metaphorical—darkness rules when life is mocked.
• Redemption through Christ, not politics, is the only cure for such depravity.
Segment 2:
• Culture sets standards low—and behavior sinks even lower.
• Mandates, laws, and culture shifts can’t fix broken hearts.
• Only heart transformation raises behavior and restores dignity.
Segment 3:
• Attacks on penal substitution are assaults on forgiveness itself.
• PSA: Christ bore our punishment as our substitute—without it, no salvation.
• Critics dismiss it as “cosmic child abuse,” but Scripture repeatedly affirms it.
Segment 4:
• Denying PSA guts the meaning of the cross.
• Alternative atonement models may explain effects, but not the cause.
• With PSA, the cross is God’s greatest act of love AND justice—without it, just sentiment.

Segment 1:
• Chad Wright’s Rogan appearance: strong theology, but gospel completeness questioned.
• Gospel tracts: one clearly presented law & gospel; another (“Be a Winner”) fell into moralism.
• Idolatry from Exodus 32: Moses points to Christ—the only sufficient substitute.
Segment 2:
• AI sermon prep can save time, but can’t replace deep study and spiritual growth.
• “Be a Winner” tract warns of bad habits but misses God’s justice, wrath, and need for atonement.
• Evangelism must connect sin’s horizontal effects to its vertical offense against a holy God.
Segment 3:
• Tim Challies’ From the Rising of the Sun: cultural differences in worship are normal.
• Biblical elements (preaching, sacraments) vs. cultural circumstances (music, attire, service style).
• Unity over preference: avoid judging faithful churches by personal worship style.
Segment 4:
• Judas vs. Peter: false repentance hides from Jesus; true repentance runs to Him.
• Many deconstruct over shame, not theology—teach kids to turn to Christ in failure.

Segment 1:
• Christians cheer a Navy SEAL’s appearance on Rogan as “gospel shared”—but was it?
• Todd clarifies difference between chit-chat about Christianity, apologetics, and actual evangelism.
• Chad Wright’s testimony: reading Matthew, realizing sin, needing salvation—strong on depravity but not yet a full gospel.
Segment 2:
• Chad explains total depravity, regeneration, salvation by grace alone—impressively deep theology.
• Missing pieces: no clear explanation of wrath, judgment, or Christ’s substitutionary death.
• Todd evaluates whether a full gospel was actually presented or just strong testimony.
Segment 3:
• Chad strategically shifts conversation back to sin and death—explaining original sin clearly.
• Describes death as the result of sin, judgment as certain, Jesus as taking punishment.
• Todd affirms this could be gospel—but clarity on God’s wrath is still lacking.
Segment 4:
• Chad’s theology on Jesus’ physical body, resurrection, and glorification is solid but speculative at points.
• Todd: Good doctrine, but still no explicit penal substitution or wrath explained.
• Evangelism analogy: You can’t just share “parts” of the gospel—you must give the whole picture.

Does being raised in a “religious” home guarantee that a child will continue in the faith once they go to college? The conversations you hear in this episode might shock you. Todd is back at Georgia Tech where he will encounter the unfortunate toll post-modernism has had on the minds of young adults. Todd also shares a strategy that proves helpful in evangelistic conversations.
Segment 1:
• The first student Todd talks with was raised around church but has drifted from Christianity due to friends, science, and disinterest.
• He claims to be a “good person”; Todd uses the 10 Commandments to show the student’s guilt before God.
• He hears the full gospel—Jesus paying his fine so he can be forgiven— and is challenged to decide if it’s true.
Segment 2:
• The next student Todd talks to identifies as Baptist but admits he doesn’t know if he’s going to heaven.
• Todd explains that being religious isn’t the same as being born again.
• The student is urged to repent, trust in Christ fully, and make his salvation certain by being pointed to Romans to see the truth.
Segment 3:
• Todd talks with a student that believes in a vague “parent-like” God who disciplines but doesn’t condemn.
• Todd uses the 10 Commandments to show guilt before a just Judge who must punish sin.
• The student hears the gospel—Jesus taking his punishment—and is challenged to determine if it’s true.
Segment 4:
• Kevin embraces postmodern thinking: Catholicism works for him, but “all truths” are valid.
• Another student calls himself Christian but doubts Jesus is the only way; breaks all 10 Commandments.
• Both students are urged to see Jesus as the only truth, repent, and trust Him alone for salvation.

• Chatbots reflect the worldview of their programmers—so what belief system is shaping your child?
Segment 3:
• AI chatbots now advise teens on relationships, mental health, even abortion—without parental oversight.
• These algorithms censor biblical views while promoting secular moral narratives.
• Christians must recognize: chatbots aren’t neutral—they’re digital missionaries for a humanistic worldview.

• AI should never replace church community for relationships, wisdom, or counsel—it’s the wrong tool.
• Use AI like Google: for research, not for life decisions or relationships.
• Be discerning, not fearful: Christ reigns over algorithms, but your mind and your kids’ minds need protection.

It’s Witness Wednesday!
In this episode of Wretched Radio’s Witness Wednesday, Todd engages in philosophical and theological conversations with several Georgia Tech students about their beliefs and life’s purpose. Todd speaks with Orin, a 22-year-old mechanical engineering student who shares his thoughts on Christianity and his own faith journey. Next, Todd talks with a French aerospace engineering student, who identifies as an atheist, discussing the complexity of belief systems and the concept of truth. Todd then converses with a student reading Malcolm Gladwell’s ‘The Tipping Point’ and delves into how Christianity can be seen as a tipping point in human history. Lastly, Todd encounters a student who is rushing to the library. Throughout the episode, Todd uses analogies and thought experiments to explore the students’ perspectives on God, morality, and the afterlife.
Segment 1:
• Orin, a 7th-generation namesake and mechanical engineer, admits he’s unsure of his life’s purpose despite claiming Christianity.
• Todd challenges Orin’s postmodern thinking, showing that “truth is truth,” not “truth for you.”
• Orin claims faith but wrestles with whether Jesus is his greatest priority, revealing the difference between “believing” and being born again.
Segment 2:
• A French aerospace student admits he might believe in “a creator” but rejects organized religion and says no religion is true.
• Todd uses design arguments and conscience to show him that God is both Creator and judge, requiring a payment for sin.
• The student listens thoughtfully as Todd explains Christianity as “done for you” vs. “do more religion,” leaving him with the gospel.
Segment 3:
• A Christian student reading The Tipping Point agrees Jesus is the tipping point of history but struggles to articulate why Jesus alone is the way to God.
• Todd presses him on gospel clarity: salvation is by repentance and faith, not works, and clarifies the true cost of following Christ.
• The student recognizes the need for obedience flowing from salvation, not causing it, reinforcing gospel precision for listeners.
Segment 4:
• A student agrees design implies a designer but questions “Who made God?” and struggles with God’s justice vs. man’s morals.
• Todd uses the conscience test (lying, lust, blasphemy) to show him his guilt before a holy God.
• Despite acknowledging the gospel, the student chooses his “own beliefs” over Christ, illustrating the tragic yet common rejection of grace.

It’s Witness Wednesday!
Todd Friel meets Phillip and Scott at Georgia Tech and explores topics around purgatory, capitalism, sin, and God’s laws. Todd challenges Philip, who maintains dual French-American citizenship, on his beliefs about capitalism versus socialism and his reluctant acceptance of God, while addressing Scott’s skepticism on God’s justice and the nature of sin. These candid discussions reveal important insights into morality, belief, and human nature.
Segment 1:
• Philip admits he believes the Christian God makes the most sense but rejects Him to keep living how he wants.
• Todd shows Philip that rejecting Jesus for “fun now” is choosing sin over eternal life, urging him to see Jesus as better than temporary pleasures.

Segment 2:
• Todd clarifies that Jesus’ offer isn’t just about avoiding hell but receiving kindness and mercy despite rebellion.
• Philip admits he knows Jesus offers life but still rejects Him, saying he’s fine with his choices for now.

Segment 3:
• Scott claims God is unjust for punishing humans He created, arguing people are like programmed robots with no choice.
• Todd explains the standard of justice is based on the One sinned against (God), making every sin infinitely serious.
• Scott insists the God of the Bible is evil, while Todd shows God’s justice and kindness in sending Jesus to satisfy wrath and offer mercy.
Segment 4:
• Todd shares the “tribal king” analogy to explain how God satisfies justice while showing mercy by taking punishment Himself.
• Scott insists God should simply forgive without punishment, rejecting the concept of divine justice requiring payment for sin.
• Conversation ends with Todd urging Scott to see humanity’s sinfulness and God’s kindness, parting respectfully but with Scott unconvinced.

Todd engages in thought-provoking conversations with several students, including a young man looking to pursue a career in research and development, a Catholic student who discusses the meaning of Easter, and two friends, exploring their beliefs and understanding of Christianity. Todd challenges them with questions about morality, the 10 Commandments, and the Gospel, encouraging them to reflect on their faith and the concept of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Segment 3:
• Todd meets two friends who admit to breaking multiple commandments (lying, stealing, lust, anger).
• They wrestle with the concept of justice: sin against an infinite God demands infinite punishment.
• Todd clearly explains the Gospel as the only solution: Christ’s full payment credited by grace alone.
Segment 4:
• One of the friends recalls prior conversation with Todd but still hasn’t pursued the Bible or Gospel seriously.
• The other friend admits failing God’s standard but struggles with recognizing guilt fully.
• Todd once again presents the Gospel in full: God’s justice satisfied through Christ’s substitutionary death.

It’s Witness Wednesday!
Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech where attempts to understand students’ level of conviction in their faith or lack thereof. The discussions touch on themes of evangelism, the problem of tolerance in religious discourse, and the Christian gospel.
Segment 1:
• Todd talks with a Hindu student who admits he’s a “5” on belief, describes his god as an amorphous entity, and refuses to convert Todd—even when begged: “You believe what you believe.”
• David the Methodist gives himself a 7.5 but says it’s not his place to convince others; believes faith is comforting but offers no reason why Todd should believe it too.
• Both students echo the cultural mantra: “Just be good”—and miss the gospel entirely.
Segment 2:
• Todd speaks with Travis who claims to be an atheist, then shifts to agnostic when challenged—saying his beliefs are based more on feelings than facts.
• Admits he’s lied, stolen, lusted, and deserves hell—yet says it doesn’t bother him because he doesn’t believe in it.
• Todd walks him through the law and the gospel, but Travis feels nothing and admits: “It honestly doesn’t concern me.”
Segment 3:
• Matt tries to share his faith with Todd but struggles to explain sin, the gospel, or assurance of salvation.
• Admits he hasn’t read his Bible outside church in a long time—yet claims Jesus is precious to him.
• Todd lovingly warns: “No Bible, no breakfast,” urging Matt to get grounded before temptation takes root on campus.
Segment 4:
• Todd talks with a young man who was raised Buddhist but disengaged—says all religions are basically good and teach people to live right.
• Agrees he’s done wrong but says he’s “half and half”—not a bad person, just not perfect.
• Hears the gospel clearly and respectfully, but walks away with no urgency to consider his guilt before a holy God.

• ADHD is often diagnosed to explain immaturity or secure school funding—not science.

Segment 4:
• Lies My Therapist Told Me stays boldly biblical—even with a secular publisher.

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.

Segment 4:

• You don’t have to feel loving to be loving—feelings are unreliable.

Segment 3:

It’s Witness Wednesday!
Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech where he talks with students about the fundamental questions of life, ethics, and spirituality. This episode highlights the importance of repentance, faith, and the transformative power of the Christian gospel.
Segment 1:
• Student attends an Episcopalian church but admits his faith doesn’t impact his daily life.
• He defends morality without biblical grounding and even jokes about wanting political opponents harmed.
• Todd gently exposes student’s contradictions, showing that ignoring God’s commands doesn’t erase guilt — it confirms it.
Segment 2:
• Student calls himself lukewarm and challenges Christianity’s uniqueness among world religions.
• Todd responds with the gospel’s distinctiveness: only Christianity offers salvation through grace, not works.
• Student intellectually engages but admits he’s not living like Jesus is central — leaving his soul in dangerous territory.
Segment 3:
• An unnamed student confesses to lying, lust, and blasphemy, but insists being “better” should be enough.
• Todd presses the reality: if God is just, then sin must be punished — and everyone’s guilty.
• Todd meets another student who agrees with much of the message but still thinks “being mostly good” should qualify him for heaven.
Segment 4:
• Todd explains the full gospel to the student — Jesus lived perfectly and died sacrificially to save sinners like him.
• Student is told to go to God directly: repent, trust Christ alone, and be born again — not through religion, but real faith.
• With tears in his eyes, student quietly listens, visibly affected, as Todd pleads with him to respond to the gospel.

• Conversation shifts dramatically: “Your job on earth is to glorify God.”

Segment 2:
• Julie’s theology: good people go to heaven—even if they don’t believe in hell.
• Walks through the Ten Commandments but still claims to be “a good person.”
• Learns the gospel: Jesus paid the fine, repentance and trust are the way to be saved.

• Todd discusses the common practice of eulogizing those who have passed.

Segment 1
• The Resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith, but Andy Stanley downplays its biblical foundation.
• Many missed hearing the Gospel this Easter, with Stanley offering no biblical foundation for the Resurrection.
• King Charles’ Easter message referenced Muslims, and the Pope’s final Easter address called for world peace—but both sidestepped the central message of Easter: God’s love through Christ.
Segment 2
• Melito of Sardis, a second-century saint, preached a powerful gospel-centered sermon that would be rejected by many modern preachers.
• His Easter sermon focuses on the suffering of Jesus, contrasting with today’s often trivialized, moralistic messages.
• Melito’s preaching is drenched in the gospel, not stories or jokes, calling us to rejoice in the true meaning of Easter.
Segment 3
• Sermons like Melito’s from 170 A.D. are rare today, yet they are a rich example of Christ-centered, theologically sound preaching.
• This sermon is lofty and reverent, elevating the listener’s understanding of God, and demonstrates the power of high view theology.
Segment 4
• A few exceptions to weak Easter preaching: Franklin Graham and Billy Graham both stayed true to the Gospel.
• Billy Graham’s Easter message was fully focused on Jesus—no distractions, no moralism, just the glorious gospel.
• Preaching centered on Christ and the Word lasts, and is desperately needed in today’s pulpits.

It’s Witness Wednesday!
Todd Friel visits the University of Georgia to engage those he meets with the gospel. In a compelling conversation, Damarie wrestles with the exclusive claims of Jesus and admits he’s yet to fully trust Him. Todd also speaks with Mormon missionaries, exposing key theological differences and pointing listeners to the true Jesus who saves by grace alone.
Segment 1:
• Damarie, a Baptist by background, hesitates to say others are wrong—revealing how cultural tolerance clashes with exclusive truth claims of Christianity.
• Todd challenges the elephant analogy—showing why not all religious views can be equally valid if Jesus is the only way.
• The conversation shifts from relativism to truth claims, putting pressure on Damarie to consider the exclusivity of Christ.
Segment 2:
• Todd walks Damarie through the law—revealing sin, guilt, and the just wrath of God using the conscience as a witness.
• The Gospel is clearly laid out—Jesus pays the penalty, satisfies justice, and credits righteousness to sinners.
• Damarie admits he hasn’t fully trusted Christ, though he’s aware of his sin and conviction is stirring.
Segment 3:
• Mormon missionaries affirm faith in Jesus, but describe Him as a created being—not the eternal, uncreated Son of God.
• They define salvation as “a chance” contingent on works, not the secured gift offered by grace through faith.
• Todd presses Ephesians 2:8–9, contrasting salvation as a free gift with the Mormon framework of merit-based exaltation.
Segment 4:
• The missionaries confirm belief in exaltation—becoming gods with their own universes—but God is still “their” God.
• They discuss the church’s past racial restrictions, admitting confusion over God’s “change of mind.”

Segment 1:
• YouTube gurus are misusing the term “narcissist” to manipulate relationships, especially targeting men.

Segment 2:

It’s Witness Wednesday!
Todd Friel is back at Georgia Tech and will engage Ryan and Dallas, in deep conversations about faith, morality, and the existence of God. During their conversations, the men will discuss logical and moral arguments for God’s existence, the implications of breaking divine laws, and the gospel’s offer of mercy through Jesus Christ.
Segment 1:
• Ryan, an agnostic computer engineering student, gets hit with the Chick-fil-A analogy: If a sandwich needs a maker, so does the universe.
• He admits it’s thought-provoking but isn’t ready to accept a Creator just yet.
• Todd plants the seed: “You are more intricately designed than your lunch.”
Segment 2:
• Todd puts Ryan’s conscience on trial—lying, stealing, lusting—and Ryan confesses to all.
• Despite agreeing he’s guilty, Ryan clings to the belief that he’s a “good person.”
• The warning is clear: “If God is just, He won’t overlook your crimes.”
Segment 3:
• Dallas, a sharp 18-year-old nuclear engineering student, believes in a higher power but not organized religion.
• After walking through the Ten Commandments, he admits he’d be guilty before God.
• When asked what should happen to him, Dallas responds bluntly: “Let Him cast me to Hell.”
Segment 4:
• Todd unpacks the gospel: Christ pays the debt guilty sinners owe. It’s not about earning—it’s surrendering.
• Dallas hears it, understands it, but ultimately shrugs it off: “I may just have to accept the deepest circle of hell.”
• Todd pleads one last time: “Don’t reject the kindness of God. It will echo in eternity.”

Todd Friel is back at it with students at Kennesaw State University talking about the existence of God, sin, and repentance. Todd will emphasizes the need for understanding and accepting Jesus Christ for eternal life and salvation.

• The Assurance of Salvation – Unlike Connor, Tim confidently recalls the moment he was saved. Do you have that certainty?

Todd Friel is engaging with students at Kennesaw State University, exploring topics like the complexity of the human body pointing to a creator, why Christianity offers real hope that postmodernism cannot, and how the Bible satisfies life’s biggest questions.
Segment 1:
• Does Your Body Prove God Exists? – Is the complexity of your own body evidence of a creator, or just a product of evolution?
• Why God’s Justice Affects You – If God is truly just, what does that mean for you and your eternal future?
Segment 2:
• Can Good Deeds Erase Bad Ones? – Why trying to “balance” good and bad actions doesn’t work in a legal or spiritual sense.
• The Resurrection Proves It All – If Jesus truly rose from the dead, does that confirm everything He said?
Segment 3:

• Where Can You Find Purpose? – Without a clear answer to life’s biggest questions, you are destined to chase after empty things

• ADHD in kids—what if it’s more about personality than a disorder? Dive into this crucial conversation.
Segment 3:

Segment 1:
• Joseph Prince promotes emotional-driven, shallow Christianity, often sidestepping the seriousness of false teaching.
• Jesus’ rebuke of the Pharisees in Matthew 23 was rooted in love, not judgment—He hated the false teachings that led people astray.
• Joseph Prince now wading into biblical counseling, but does he offer truth or a watered-down version? New book “Lies My Therapist Told Me” tackles this shift.
Segment 2:
• The rise in autism and psychotropic drug use raises questions about how mental health is being defined and treated in our society.
• Greg Gifford’s book exposes the industry’s reliance on medication, questioning the root causes and the Bible’s perspective on addressing the mind.

Segment 3:
• Kids are being diagnosed with ADHD at increasing rates, but is this truly a disorder or just part of childhood development?
• The obsession with medicating kids with psychotropics is a response to societal impatience, not a solution to genuine mental health needs.
• Biblical counseling offers a counter-narrative, focusing on heart issues, repentance, and growth rather than instant fixes through drugs.
Segment 4:
• Medication is often used to mask symptoms, but it doesn’t address the deeper spiritual issues at play.
• The root cause of many emotional struggles, like depression, can often be traced back to unrepentant sin.
• “Lies My Therapist Told Me” challenges us to consider the difference between symptom management and real transformation through biblical counseling.

• The idea that God can change His mind at any moment is a misleading and dangerous theological stance.

It’s Witness Wednesday!
Todd Friel conducts street evangelism at Kennesaw State University, engaging in evangelistic conversations with students about Christianity, morality, and salvation.
Segment 1:
• Changing Standards, Shifting Justice – If society defines justice, what happens when society changes its mind?
• Punishment or Restoration? – Should criminals be reformed or pay for their crimes? What makes one system “right”?
Segment 2:
• Right and Wrong Can’t Be Voted On – If morality is just preference, then nothing is truly wrong.

Segment 1:
• Peacemaking vs. Reconciliation: Reconciliation is deeper than simply making peace—it’s about restoring relationships.
• Matthew 5 & James 4: Conflict stems from desires within, not just others’ actions. True reconciliation begins with self-examination.
• Key Takeaway: Biblical reconciliation requires heart transformation, not just resolving the issue on the surface.
Segment 2:
• Idolatrous Desires: Conflict often arises from selfish desires, like control or approval, that become idols in our lives.
• Righteous Anger vs. Sinful Anger: Anger rooted in selfishness can lead to sin, even if initially justified.
• Key Takeaway: Real peace comes from recognizing and surrendering our idolatrous desires to Christ, rather than managing conflict externally.
Segment 3:
• Ongoing Repentance: Repentance is a continual process for Christians—not just a one-time event.
• Godly vs. Worldly Sorrow: True repentance leads to change; worldly sorrow focuses on consequences, not transformation.
• Key Takeaway: Genuine repentance involves a heart change, turning toward righteousness, and repairing relationships.
Segment 4:
• Forgiveness vs. Moving On: True reconciliation requires forgiveness, not just moving past the conflict.
• Attitudinal and Transactional Forgiveness: We must be ready to forgive, even without repentance, and offer full forgiveness when repentance occurs.
• Key Takeaway: Biblical forgiveness mirrors God’s forgiveness toward us—ready to forgive and restore, no matter the offense.

It’s Witness Wednesday!
Todd Friel is at Kennesaw State University to share the hope of Christ with students. The topics in this episode range from evolution, morality, and the existence of a creator to being born again, justification, and sanctification. Todd will plead with two students to consider the life-changing message of the Gospel.
Segment 1:
• The Ultimate Search – Everyone has a worldview, but does yours answer life’s biggest questions?
• Reality Check – Your beliefs don’t make something true—truth stands alone. Are you building on solid ground?
Segment 2:
• Who’s Writing the Rules? – If morality is just personal opinion, then nothing is truly wrong—but we all know that’s not true.
• The Lawgiver Problem – If moral laws exist, who wrote them? Without a higher authority, “right” and “wrong” are just preferences.
Segment 3:
• The Cosmic Courtroom – If God is just, He must punish lawbreakers. That means we all have a serious problem.
• The Mercy Solution – What if someone paid your fine? Enter Jesus Christ—the only way to true justice and forgiveness.
Segment 4:
• No Neutral Ground – Either Jesus is the truth, or He’s not. There’s no in-between.
• The Urgent Call – The offer isn’t just escape from punishment—it’s reconciliation with your Creator. What will you do with it?

Todd Friel is on campus at Kennesaw State University where he will engage with students to clarify the importance of Jesus’ sacrifice and the concept of grace. Todd will urge the students he speaks with to reflect deeply on their faith and the truth of the gospel.
Segment 1:
• Matt considers himself a Christian but doesn’t see church attendance as necessary.

Segment 2:

Todd Friel is back at Kennesaw State University to speak with students and emphasizes the importance of approaching evangelism with love and understanding while pointing individuals toward the hope and joy found in Jesus Christ.
Segment 1:
• Cole, an agnostic with an interest in history, approaches Todd out of curiosity about Christianity.
• The conversation shifts from historical Christianity (like the Crusades) to the core problem of humanity—our standing before a holy God.
• Todd uses the Ten Commandments as a mirror, revealing that Cole isn’t just imperfect—he’s guilty before God.
Segment 2:
• Cole admits his shortcomings, but Todd emphasizes that comparing ourselves to “worse people” doesn’t make us good before God.
• The courtroom analogy drives home the seriousness of sin—one day, Cole will stand before God and answer for his life.
• Todd lays out the gospel as the only solution: Jesus bore the punishment Cole deserves, offering him a perfect record in return.
Segment 3:
• An agnostic admits she struggles to believe in things she can’t see, but Todd challenges her with logic—design points to a Designer.
• She’s been hurt by aggressive evangelism, leading her to reject Christianity.
• Todd gently shifts the focus back to Christ, urging her to judge Christianity by Jesus, not by the failures of His followers.
Segment 4:
• The student acknowledges she’s broken God’s laws, but struggles with the idea of judgment.

Segment 3:

Todd Friel is at Kennesaw State University to speak with students and share the message of the Gospel and the importance of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Segment 1:
• Todd meets Mateo, a student and real estate agent from Ecuador, who shockingly doesn’t know much about Easter.
• Though Catholic, Mateo admits he never paid much attention to what Easter is really about.
• Todd clarifies: Easter isn’t about eggs or tradition—it’s about Jesus rising from the dead to offer salvation.
Segment 2:
• Mateo assumes God will judge him based on overall “goodness,” but Todd walks him through God’s perfect law.
• When asked if he has lied, disrespected his parents, or looked with lust—Mateo realizes he’s guilty.
• Todd explains: If a human judge can’t let criminals go free, how can a just God? Only through Jesus’ sacrifice.
Segment 3:
• Todd meets a student studying entrepreneurship who believes life’s purpose is doing what makes him happy.
• The student is confident in his worldview—until Todd challenges him: What happens when happiness fades?

• The student acknowledges a “higher power” but isn’t sure who God is or if it really matters.
• Todd uses logic and creation to point out that God must be just, personal, and communicative.

Todd Friel is back at Kennesaw State University to engage students in conversations about faith, salvation, and their beliefs.
Segment 1:
• Michael, a self-professed Christian, struggles to clearly articulate what it means to be saved.

Segment 3:

• Todd gently points out that relying on good works is contrary to the Gospel and shares how Jesus’ finished work on the cross is sufficient for salvation.
• Thomas struggles with reconciling his actions with God’s grace, believing he must “earn” his place in heaven through obedience.
Segment 4:
• Todd explains the difference between works as a response to salvation versus works as a means of salvation.
• He emphasizes that Christians obey God because they have already been saved, not to earn salvation.
• Thomas begins to see that assurance and joy come from trusting in Christ’s finished work, not from striving to prove oneself to God.

Wretched Radio | Air Date: September 20, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0920.mp3It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers!
Segment 1
• Mr. Mr. Mr. Sir Mr. Mr., would you please remind me of the rules of discernment you use before talking about a fallen preacher on air? -Todd Friel
Segment 2
• I was wondering if other people in heaven could hear our prayers? I’ve previously prayed and asked God to “relay” my message but I don’t want to be doing something wrong at the same time. -Jordan
Segment 3
• Could you please explain the concept of “soul care” and is this new trend really biblical? -Rachel
Segment 4
• I think I understand that God doesn’t audibly speak to us. To be honest it hurts but I think I’m coming to terms with it. But what about those moments of doing something out of the usual. Such as, an inclination to do something/say something that changed a life. Or taking a different way home, later finding out you escaped something terrible. Something like this would cause me to give credit/glory to God. I wouldn’t dare say these are “word of the Lord” type things, but they are something, aren’t they? -Tamara

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is actively rebranding, moving away from the term “Mormon”
Wretched Radio | Air Date: September 12, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0912.mp3The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is actively rebranding, moving away from the term “Mormon” and seeking to align more closely with mainstream Christianity. Todd Friel highlights the strategic efforts by the LDS to reshape their image, using SEO tactics and prominent figures like Glenn Beck to gain acceptance. However, despite these efforts, significant theological distinctions remain, especially concerning salvation and the nature of God.
Todd also touches on the troubling rise of polyamory in some church circles and the shift in modern worship music, which often centers on personal emotions rather than praising God.

With the historical-critical method threatening the inerrancy of the Bible, a clash ensued, leading to a theological split. Todd emphasizes the importance of upholding the authority of Scripture in today’s church and how this historical fight continues to hold vital lessons for believers today.

It’s Mailbag Friday! Should pastors address this issue every Sunday?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: September 06, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0906.mp3It’s Mailbag Friday!
• I try to talk to my parents, but they insist on treating me like a small child and micromanage my life. I try to communicate, but my mom often yells about everything, which makes me angry and yell back. I work hard to get along with them and honor them, but I always end up losing my temper. What should I do?
• I heard a short clip where you warned against pastors using AI to write sermons, which I agree with. However, I’d like to hear your thoughts on using AI as a glorified thesaurus or wordsmith. For instance, different Bible translations use varying terms for ‘propitiation,’ like ‘atoning sacrifice.’ Do you see any issues with asking AI to provide alternative phrases to articulate these concepts?
• I was wondering if not including the gospel in every sermon would mean a preacher is not being orthodox. Is it necessary to share the gospel in every sermon to adhere to orthodox teaching?
• When churchgoers are chronically late, should pastors address this issue, even if it might offend some members and risk them not returning to church? What’s your take on addressing punctuality in church settings?

Have you ever wondered how to start evangelizing?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: September 05, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0905.mp3There is a growing issue of loneliness and stress among Americans, and the Church is positioned to offer community and support as family norms continue to break down.
The World Happiness Report reveals that 61% of Americans fear retirement more than death, and Gen Z feels unsupported by family, reflecting the breakdown of societal and family norms.
Atheist churches are emerging, but they fail to provide the real answers and purpose that people are searching for—only the Church can offer lasting hope.
Many people seek fulfillment in distractions like Halloween and sports but find no lasting peace, with true purpose and peace only found in God.
With 57% of Americans wondering how to find more meaning in life, the Church has an urgent opportunity to evangelize and provide the answers they need.

Can Christians support the Death Penalty and be pro-life?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: August 30, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0830.mp3Segment 1:
• Where can I find reliable and accurate information about the early church fathers, such as Justin Martyr, without encountering biases that label them solely as Catholic?
• How can I practically surrender control of my life and possessions to God, as instructed in Luke 14:33?
Segment 2:
• As a Christian, how should we approach the decision of having a baby? Should we prioritize financial stability, or are there other considerations we should take into account?
• How can Christians maintain a pro-life stance while also addressing the issue of the death penalty from a biblical perspective? How can we effectively communicate this view to those with pro-choice beliefs?
• If my church values family-integrated worship and our children participate without issues, how should I address concerns from an elder who believes this practice is unsupported by Scripture and causes disruptions?
Segment 3:
• Is it appropriate to describe individuals who support abortion as evil, or should we use terms like confused or misinformed? Can a differing view on abortion define someone as inherently evil?
• What is the best way to explain the concept of abortion to a child?
Segment 4:
• What is your perspective on biblical inerrancy? Does it apply exclusively to the original manuscripts, or can its scope be extended?
• Where in the Bible is it taught that Christians need to repent, and what is the purpose of repentance according to Scripture?
• How should Christians navigate political discussions and voting in the upcoming months, especially if there are differing opinions within their church community?

Vance says Trump will definitely veto a national abortion ban.
We need to return to the conversation about what this procedure actually is.
Are we going to stay engaged in the life issue? What about the future?
Segment 2:
Trump, formerly was pro-life… then he said early in this cycle that he would compromise… now he doesn’t seem to be planning to be pro-life.
The federal issue is off the table… it’s a non-issue.
The question – has it arrived to the point where evangelicals can’t vote for either party?
Segment 3:
Judge from South Africa – Albie Sachs – “Four different ways to reach the truth.”
What makes Nick Saban great… his ability to make adjustments at half-time.
We might be seeing this argument forwarded more … Football season is back in the south … or church season is back.
Segment 4:
Can we make adjustments in how we attack abortion? Maybe we need to rethink what we’re calling “reproductive freedom.”
45% of women are expected to be single and childless by 2030. That’s tragic. We need to be promoting marriage.
The best environment to experience richness is in marriage. We’re called to be salt and light.

It’s Mailbag Friday! How do I stop feeling like I need to keep getting saved?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: August 09, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0809.mp3It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers.
If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
It feels like every night I keep getting saved, and when I wake up in the morning I feel lost. It feels like I am in a cycle and I want to just rest in Christ and truly desire Him but my heart is so dull. -Kaiden
Segment 2
I want to buy some clothes online, however I have to make a $1 donation to a company supporting ‘indigenous LGBTQ’ people. I am wondering if this would be sinful for me to participate in since I am directly supporting the act with my money. -Cory
Segment 3
If your Elders in the church give counsel–that is not over a black and white issue in the Bible (not over sin), but is what they believe is the most wise in a certain situation–and you don’t take it and they tell you you’re in sin because of it and that you’re wise in your own eyes, and after talking through it and they still want to force the counsel (which makes it no longer counsel, but a command), is that a good reason to leave a church? -Anonymous
I have a question about dealing with gossip in the church. How do I handle situations where people might misunderstand me in the church? My parents are leaders in the church, and they’ve advised me not to talk too much about our family because of gossip. There seems to be a lot of hypocrisy in the church, which I’m unsure how to navigate. -Simi
I’d tell you a joke about air conditioners, but you probably wouldn’t be a fan. -Andrew
Segment 4
Years ago, with an immature conscience, I believed drinking any alcohol was sinful. To avoid sin, I made a vow to God never to drink again. Over the past 20 years, I’ve matured and now understand Christian liberty, recognizing that having a beer or wine is permissible, aside from drunkenness. However, I feel bound by my vow and believe it must be kept because God is holy. I made the vow out of a legalistic desire to control my actions and avoid temptation. Now, I wonder if I was misguided in doing so. -Richard
I’m a 15-year-old pastor’s kid, I’ve always grown up in the church and was recently saved and baptized. Our summer camp recently strengthened my faith like never before. I brought a friend from school who seemed ready to put their trust in Jesus. How can I encourage him to take that step? Also, how can I ensure this isn’t just a spiritual high and maintain this fire in my regular life? -Josh

Segment 1
I’m 20 years old and love fishing with my dad. Unfortunately, he’s an unbeliever and often mocks me for being a Christian, remaining very hard-hearted toward the Gospel. One of the few times I see a softening in his heart is when we do father-son activities like fishing. I always have my fishing license, but my dad refuses to get one. Am I sinning by fishing with my dad since he doesn’t have a fishing license? Could I be encouraging him to sin? -Ethan
The Church I attend has a band that plays at the beginning and end of service. Lately, I have felt like I attend a 32 minute concert and then preaching and a finale. The songs don’t seem to be very Christian. What are your thoughts? -Timothy
I take Matthew 6:18 to indicate that when we’re fasting, we should keep it to ourselves. I was wondering, if you’re married, if it’s ok to tell your spouse. I’m thinking it probably is whereas we are in a one flesh relationship. Also for practical purposes, it would make dinner time less awkward. -Nate
Segment 2
Ok, you’ve made your point that A.I. can write a top 40 worship song – but here’s the real test – can it write a traditional hymn with a pipe organ? -Peter
What are your thoughts on dating apps? -Timothy
Segment 3
What are your thoughts on if Christians have the right to self-defense? -Anonymous
I do various forms of craftwork and I like to use Christian imagery in my work. Lately I’ve been wondering though, could the use of symbols like lions, lambs, shamrocks, trinity knots, etc. be breaking the second commandment or be considered “golden calves”? -Sean
If we are commanded to not make any images of God (I would presume that includes Jesus) why are Christians so upset about the mockery of a painting that depicts Jesus at the last supper? Wouldn’t the painting itself be a violation? -Anonymous
What is “sinful anxiety”? Never heard of it. Why would being anxious be a sin? – Anonymous
Segment 4
I am a Christian teacher in a public school. Recently I have been feeling quite pressured to join the teachers’ union. My question is should Christians join unions? -Judith
My husband and I have been discussing how busy is “too busy” and what the Bible says about it. We both are involved in a lot. I organize a homeschool coop of moms, I homeschool, teach Wednesday evening kids at church, sing with the worship team, manage the church nursery schedule. Additionally, my husband has significant roles at church and church camp. Is sacrificing in these ways part of the Christian life, or could it be that God doesn’t necessarily want us to take on so much? – Jocelyn
Close friends of mine would like to join our church — becoming members — but disagree in some key doctrines such as complementarianism and credo baptism. Should a church require that a potential member agree on all doctrines the church holds or is being a committed, submitted follower of Christ enough? -Mel

Wretched Radio | Air Date: July 26, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0726.mp3Segment 1
I’d like to hear your thoughts on age gaps in relationships where the woman is significantly older than the man–say, by 5 or even 10 years. How should Christians approach this biblically? Is it unwise to pursue such a relationship? -Anonymous
I’m uncertain about my salvation and feel convicted about willfully sinning and being ashamed of Jesus. My emotions and desires to love Jesus and glorify God are not very strong. I want these desires to grow and to not be ashamed of Christ. If I’m not saved, how can I experience godly sorrow over my sin? If I am saved, how can I strengthen my desires and stop committing these sins? -Isaac
If someone is a vegan, a CrossFit enthusiast, and a KJV only-ist, which one are they going to talk about first? -Jonathan

You recently explained a lot of good things in a fantastic way about sovereignty, but one area was missed. How does prayer factor in? This is something I’m really struggling with right now. I know everything you explained is right and good, but help me understand this. -Eileen
Why would God go to the trouble of creating both men and women if He knew that His creation would be at war with each other? -Jeremy
You recently indicated that there was no significance to the timing of the shooting of President Trump at 6:11 p.m. It is obvious that God can use an event in multiple ways. Why is it not possible that God used the time of the shooting to remind us that the real battle is spiritual? -John
Segment 4
I sent this question two weeks ago, but when Jimmy read it to you, he cut out the most important part of the question, and messed everything up. Why is that guy even there? I have a dear family member who believes that the Disney corporation is Satanic. I disagree with her. She believes it is wrong to take a vacation to Disney World and give that corporation money. I believe that it is a point of Christian liberty, that she shouldn’t if it is against her conscience, but I can since it is not against mine. Is this really a point of liberty, or am I in the wrong? -Anonymous
I work at a Christian summer camp with kids ages 6-12. During the day, we have a 30-minute period for Bible discussions and a Gospel presentation throughout the week. However, I face two problems: I’m not supposed to approach the subject of Hell, and the kids are rarely interested in talking about the Bible when they could be playing games. How should I address these issues? -Anonymous

Segment 1
Benny Hinn should go to the RNC and heal Trump’s ear, what a sight that would be. -Anonymous
I’m Jesse from Pennsylvania, born and raised Amish with six children ages 19 to 4. I don’t believe the Amish meet the New Testament definition of Church. I think it’s a cult. My wife thinks my conversion is my willful purchase of a ticket to Hell. Do I allow my wife to teach my children the Amish way for unity in marriage, or teach them something different? I’m still attending the Amish church because going elsewhere means my family will likely kick me out. But if the Amish aren’t a true church, am I not going to church at all? I wasn’t saved when baptized – does this mean I’m not baptized at all? HELP! -Jesse
Could I please get your thoughts on tattoos? I know there is a prohibition against them in Leviticus, but it seems to have been for the Jews at that time. -Nate
Segment 2
Would you say someone who is a devout Catholic would be considered a Christian? (Are they saved?) -David
Segment 3
I’m reading a book by a dead Puritan who says that if even one sin is loved in the heart, that we are not saved. How do I know if I love one, single sin in my heart when I am not at all good at introspection? -Steve
Todd, my wife (of 24 years) and I recently experienced a miscarriage and two still births. After the second still birth, she went to a pretty dark place. She spends hours everyday, studying the Bible, but she now says that despite being a Christian as long as I’ve known her, she’s not sure she is saved. She believes in the God of the Bible, but she says she doesn’t trust Him to save her. She spends most days broken and crying, and it’s taking a toll on the whole family. -Tim
Segment 4
I’ve noticed since starting university that I sometimes shake hands with women without thinking, but then feel it’s disrespectful as I view handshakes as masculine. Is it wrong to see it this way and is my dislike for gender role blurring going too far? -Anonymous
If church is to be done God’s way, where should a Christian fall on the family integrated movement where children should not be separated from their parents during the church service? What about other weekly programming? The family integrated movement has some very compelling arguments but so few churches seem to go this way in practice. -Dustin
I am employed at a library and am in charge of the Young Adult section there. While I have found it opens some doors to speak about what I believe, as a Christian I do struggle with what to do about some of the books in the collection. Many on the shelves are LGBTQ related and I am tasked with promoting them. I do not recommend books to purchase if they are LGBTQ, but the ones we have already I have to put on display sometimes. As a Christian how do I handle this? – Anonymous Young Person

It’s Mailbag Friday! My wife is asking me to stay home more.
Wretched Radio | Air Date: July 12, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0712.mp3Segment 1
If my job is asking me to work 12 hour shifts, but my wife is asking me to stay home more to help with our kids, how do I make a biblical decision? I have to provide for our needs and pay off debt, but should I work to the point that I’m not around as much for my family? -Anonymous
My nephew is 15 years old. He is struggling with porn addiction. Perhaps also a victim, but will not share if he is. Do you have any advice on how we can help him? -Esther

I help out at the baptistry at my church. Recently 4 boys around age 7 were baptized after their time at VBS.

What is the proper age for one to be baptized? -Vince

I often struggle with grogginess and brain fog in the mornings, especially during allergy season, and I’m wondering if I should still start each day in God’s Word, even though I struggle to focus and think clearly under these conditions, or should I wait for a time later in the day when it’s not as much a problem? -Jack
As a parent of young children, I am conflicted on spanking. I think the Bible didn’t accidentally use “the rod” to represent discipline, but most of my Christian friends purposely avoid “hitting their kids” because they say spanking is abuse. Are they right?? -Abby
I have a dear family member who believes that the Disney corporation is Satanic. I disagree with her. She believes it is wrong to take a vacation to Disney World and give that corporation money. I believe that it is a point of Christian liberty, that she shouldn’t if it is against her conscience, but I can since it is not against mine. Is this really a point of liberty, or am I in the wrong? -Anonymous

It’s Mailbag Friday! How transparent should a church be about its finances?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: July 05, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0705.mp3It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers.
If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
I’m wondering about the depth of financial transparency a church should provide to its members, specifically regarding staff salaries. Some churches show only the total sum of all staff salaries in their budget, while others list each staff member’s salary individually. I’ve seen both approaches in different churches. Intuitively, full transparency seems ideal, but maybe there are aspects I’m not considering. Although it’s not a top-tier issue, I believe it’s still important to address. What are your thoughts on the appropriate level of financial disclosure in church budgets? -William
I have been experiencing fear and distrust in myself when confessing my sins, as I struggle to believe that I am truly repentant. This fear leads to obsessive thoughts and repetitive Scripture quoting. How can I find assurance of forgiveness and maintain intimacy with God despite my struggles with fear and doubt? – Mitchell
Segment 2
Are you struggling with assurance? Maybe you need to hear this…
Does God withhold blessings due to sin? I’m struggling with the fact that I desire a wife and children, but haven’t received these blessings, despite seeing others with the same sins who have. I don’t want to covet, yet I can’t help but wonder why this is happening. -Ephraim
Can you discuss how male church leaders should handle and address interactions with females? I’m curious because I saw an elder from my church meeting alone with a college girl for coffee. They were talking in a semi-secluded area, and the conversation was mostly the girl sharing personal issues, with the elder listening and offering basic Christian advice. Is it unwise for him to meet alone with a girl half his age? Should he have directed her to a female leader? As church leaders are held to a higher standard, I’d appreciate your view on whether this situation appears unwise or gives the appearance of evil. -Anonymous
I have a concern about my daughter, who’s in her early 30s and engaged: She and her fiancé plan to travel together for three weeks in South America, prior to their marriage. While they assure me of their honorable intentions, I’m troubled by this and their resistance to my counsel. Do you have any advice you can offer for handling my discomfort, especially since I can’t prevent them from going? -Anonymous
Segment 3
I attend a great confessional church where we stand for the Doxology, but we remain seated during the reading of God’s Word. This practice has been bothering me. I know there’s a risk of elevating confessions and creeds above the Bible, and while I’m not suggesting my church is doing this, it does raise questions for me. What’s your perspective on this practice? -Michelle
Do you think it’s wise to have a term limit for elders and deacons? -Josh
I keep getting told by everyone that my main issue is I lack confidence. I try to avoid boasting about myself, but both in job searches as well as dating, it seems to stand out as a detriment as if I am weak or unmanly. Any advice in this regard. -Anonymous
Segment 4
Within the past year or so, I have been learning more about correct theology, and have realized that the church I’ve been attending since I was 8 years old (I’m now 21) is a false church. One of the secondary problems I have with the church is their stress on the King James Version of the Bible. They believe that if you don’t have a 1611 KJV Bible then you don’t have a Bible at all, and any other translations are satanically driven to deceive believers. Do you believe that this alone is reason enough to leave this church? -Daniel
If you feel like you are going to die, so you pray and tell God that you promise to change your bad behavior, and lo and behold you slip up and once again do that very thing you promised you wouldn’t!!! What is the scriptural answer? -Anonymous
As believers in the Trinity, when we pray, how should we address the Lord properly? We’ll say things like, “in Jesus’ name”, but aren’t we praying to Jesus? And do this “by your Spirit”, but aren’t we also praying to God, the Holy Spirit? -Jonah
What are your thoughts on James 2:24, which states ‘man is justified by works, and not by faith only’? I’m struggling to reconcile this with other teachings in the New Testament. Can you help me understand it better? -Levi
I’ve been constantly rejected when trying to date and it makes me sad and hurt. How can I overcome these feelings and find value in Christ instead of relationships? Are my priorities out of order? -Mike

My dad recently said that he thought pastors should talk about the news and politics from the pulpit. Is that biblical? -Kaleb
Segment 4
A ministry that I have supported for years has announced that it will invest in AI that is supposed to teach others the Gospel. Their goal, they say, is to “amaze” people with this, and they claim the church will be left behind unless we invest in AI like everyone else is doing. I feel opposed to this because I believe the Bible is clear about humans discipling other humans. I also worry that this ministry is exhibiting worldly thinking. -Justin
I was just wondering if you had any advice on dealing with grief over apostate friends? -Joe
There are many programs and educational institutions that charge money to understand the Bible (seminaries, colleges, etc) Is there anywhere in the Bible that prohibits financial transactions or the charging of money to others who want to better understand the Bible? Should not the understanding and study of the word be given freely? -Anonymous
Our adult daughter has self identified as transgender and self diagnosed with multiple personalities. Our question is how do we Biblically navigate this? We cannot agree with her lifestyle and for the safety of our younger children feel we must keep her at arms length. Any advice? -Anonymous

Segment 1
Why can’t we let go of coffee for a few hours on Sunday morning? Why do we need to be sipping coffee during the service? In my opinion, coffee in the sanctuary, is in some ways irreverent to God. -Marion
I am an 18-year-old college student who’s aspiring to go into the mission field. I understand that to be a missionary, I need to be an elder-qualified man. However, throughout my entire life, even after I was saved, I’ve struggled with lust and pornography. I’ve grown in self-control and faith, but still battle with it. Does this make me unqualified for eldership/missions? If not, how can I know I am qualified? -Ashton

I work a retail job, where the company supports the LGBTQ, but the company has not required us to participate or support in any way. But I also struggle with whether working there I might be sinning. -John

I being the resident Christian got blamed, called into the office and told that I may not discuss religion or politics at work. The guy that actually wrote the note was given a day off without pay. Can they do this? Can they legally put a gag order on me? -Jim
My two sisters are converting to the episcopal church, help! How should I approach the subject with them? -Anonymous

Wondering what to do in sharing with my dad on the sufficiency of Scripture. Though he claims to be a believer he doubts its sufficiency because it was written by men. I have shared with him the passages like 1 Tim. 3:16 and others, but he basically wants a resource outside of the Bible to claim that the Bible is true. -Brandon

I’m at a loss with my 19-year-old son! He’s always been very structured, with the motto “I date for marriage, not for fun!” But now in college, he’s thrown that out the window, lost his virginity, and is obsessed with his girlfriend. We’ve talked to him, but everything goes in one ear and out the other. I kinda just want to punch him in the forehead! Any suggestions? -Aliah
Segment 4
I’m struggling with a church decision to grant our senior pastor a summer sabbatical. The plans involve mostly traveling out of the USA and around the USA, with some time for hobbies and family. Please note that this pastor makes significantly over $100K a year and has a generous vacation plan in a church of only 250 people. I was taught that a sabbatical is a rest from regular work, used to study and grow, and that one should come back with a new perspective or a book they’ve written. I’m not okay with vacationing being the dominant part of the time off. Maybe I have the definition wrong. -Richard

Segment 1
My wife and I began visiting a PCA church in 2020. In late 2021, my wife had a miscarriage and we have not been able to conceive since. It is hard to be encouraged when you are reminded that all other church couples have been blessed with a child after losing yours. Church events are all kid-centered, and for the last family picnic, there was an email correction sent the day before saying that those without kids could also attend. We felt like an afterthought. What can I do? Is there room for my church to improve? -Ben

The new leader is also a pastor and occasionally preaches from the pulpit when the elder pastor is not available. The problem here is that the new leader is a woman. Our question is, should she continue to work there? -J.J.
Hey, I’m planning to put up a table on my campus with a sign that says: “Why don’t you believe in Jesus?” The plan is to attract the lost and the people that have been hurt by or have misconceptions about Jesus. Is there any other way you think I could specifically approach and target these people? Also, while I’m out there, what tips can you give me to be the most effective steward of Christ? -Christian
Segment 4
Exodus 23:19 says, “You must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.” Why was that a command, and does it still apply? -Ashley
I am dating this young woman and have thought about marrying her. A topic came up of changing the last name, and hyphenating the last name? I want her to have my last name but is it wrong is she doesn’t take it? -Hunter

The post WANT YOUR CHURCH TO DIE? GO LIBERAL. appeared first on Wretched.
It’s Mailbag Friday! Did Paul swear?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: March 22, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0322.mp3It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers.
If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
My pastor has mentioned Philippians 3:8 multiple times in sermons over the last few years, and every time he says that “skubalon” is translated to the swear word that refers to dung. Is that really accurate? I’ve seen articles that are both for and against that translation.
My pastor is about 2 years in, and has declared that Christmas and Easter are now “dedicated to non-believers.” For the last 2 years, He has instituted a full on festival, complete with petting zoo, rides, free food etc… in order to draw unbelievers in to preach the gospel to them. Obviously the preaching of the gospel is the priority, but am I wrong for feeling a bit uncomfortable with the marketing of our church with worldly bait? -Cade
I am a stay-at-home-mom and am typically home when Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons come to my door. Every time we interact, I am left with a mix of excitement and sadness. I feel like I didn’t say all the things that needed to be said. How can I best evangelize to groups who think they know Jesus and admit to being sinners, but are so deceived by their respective organizations? -Kelley
Segment 2
I live in Canada where the idea of “medical assistance in dying” is quickly becoming normalized. How should we respond to a medically assisted death in the family? Should we attend the funeral or not? -Myah
I am currently active duty and I’ve been in service for over 7 years. Throughout my time in the military, it has been a very spiritually dark and sinful place. Over the years, I’ve been able to ‘give a defense for the hope that is within me,’ and earned respect from the unsaved for not capitulating. But my heart aches from the constant dishonoring of God and blasphemy. I don’t shrink back from a fight or a hard conversation about the things of God, but since I’ve had to harden towards it to survive, I fear that I’m dishonoring Him by not getting hurt enough to ask them to stop. How do I stand strong in a culture where there is so much blatant dishonoring toward God? -Zach
Segment 3
Is it wrong to check my spouse’s phone without their permission or them knowing? I know there should be a certain amount of accountability, but I feel guilty after looking at his phone and end up apologizing to him. My husband is very trustworthy and has never done anything to make me question his faithfulness. -Alexandra
How can Protestants celebrate Holy Week? -Anonymous
Around certain holidays, like Easter, some churches in our area come together and have community services. This bothers me because they are of different denominations and smacks of ecumenism. I can see how they could all come together to serve, but a worship service? Not so much. How do you view such services? -Beth
Segment 4
From a biblical perspective, how do you know if she is “the one” to marry? -Gabe
I’m a pastor’s wife, and recently we had a sixteen year old girl come to my husband desiring to be baptized, because she hadn’t taken that step of obedience following her salvation. She attends our church faithfully, however her parents are divorced and there was disagreement from her mother who believes she was baptized as an infant. There are now problems with her mother, who claims her daughter dishonored her. Did we do the right thing by encouraging her to go ahead rather than wait until she was out from under her mother’s authority? -Debbie

If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
Todd, our teenage son is pushing back hard against Christianity, calling it forced upon him. Despite this, we keep him in church and youth group hoping he’ll encounter Christ. But his disdain is growing. Should we keep pushing these activities, because his level of disrespect towards us and others who are believers is growing? -Anonymous
How do we appropriately share our burdens? Sometimes I don’t share because I think that it’s too much or because I can’t express it without being tempted to sin. I don’t want to put too much on someone else and at the same time it’s incredibly lonely. -Susan
I have a new coworker who I think may have some romantic feelings for me. She is married and going through a hard time. I have been partially tasked with training her. She texts me outside of work. I’m not sure what to do because I can’t stop the work relationship, but don’t want to feed into the potential romantic feelings either. -Anonymous
Segment 2
My pastor has gotten into the habit of using what I would consider to be an over-abundance of quips, quotes, illustrations, personal stories, and observations that he has pulled from commentaries. Some days he may utilize as few as five to seven, but it’s far more common for his sermons to contain as many as ten, twelve, fifteen, even seventeen such devices. When does this kind of thing become too much? -Kimberly
Todd, the idea of sinning without realizing it terrifies me. How can we repent for sins we’re unaware of? This concern makes me feel like my repentance is never enough. -Anonymous
Segment 3
There are instances throughout Israel’s history of kings being rebuked for affiliating themselves with pagan nations. We are also commanded to not be yoked with unbelievers, yet we can do commerce with them. To what extent can we be yoked with unbelievers in the political sphere or the marketplace? -David
I am a man and I have been asked to help serve at a women’s conference. My job would be to help set up equipment and run the projector during service time. Keep in mind, this is a conference where only women will be attending and only women will be teaching. The only men that will be there are the ones on the praise team, the sound guy, and myself. Should I and the other men attend this event? Would it be a violation of 1 Timothy? -Kyle
In regards to your previous statements, that all aborted babies go to Heaven; what do you say to a pastor who says we should not combat the abortion industrial complex, but we should let the pagans abort their babies, because that is most likely the best way for those babies to go to heaven? Some folks consider this a good thing, rather than the abomination that child sacrifice is.
Hey Todd, my church really pushes having a daily quiet time, almost saying it’s a sin to skip it. But I listen to sermons and Christian podcasts daily, feeding my faith without always reading the Bible. Historically, many believers didn’t have daily scripture access, so is missing quiet time really sinful? -Cole
Segment 4
In Matthew, after Jesus’s death, there’s an account of tombs opening and many saints being raised. Were they resurrected like Lazarus, to die again later? What’s the meaning of this event? -Nate
Why did the melons go through all the stress of wedding planning? Because they cantaloupe. -Josh
I’ve been saved for about 8 months now but I have a problem, almost every day I think about death not like suicidal but just death and I don’t really care about living a normal worldly life with a job and marriage and retirement because I know what happens, it’s all going away in the end. I know Ecclesiastes talks about this but I want to know is this Biblical thinking if not what can be done? -Wesley
How do I break the habit of turning to sermons to understand a text rather than studying it on my own? -Zach

Segment 1
At my workplace, as in many other workplaces, there are people who curse and worse yet, take the Lord’s name in vain. When they do it really bothers me, but I’m not sure what to do? How should I react to that? -Jacquelin
How should married Christians handle work meetings with the opposite sex? Especially lunch meetings that are one on one specifically. It seems no one is bothered by these meetings but my husband and I are. But we feel stuck since it’s sort of what’s typical and expected in this line of work. -Barbara
Segment 2
I am engaged to a Christian man. In my job, I earn about double what he does. When talking about things, he isn’t very open to the idea of staying home and raising our kids. He believes it’s the man’s role to provide. Is there any biblical basis for the man being the bread winner? -Laura
Segment 3
So, there is a woman in my life who I know has feelings for me. Her faith goes up and down, but she’s kind and considerate. One of the big issues in why I don’t reciprocate feelings is that I’m not physically attracted to her. Am I in sin for not pursuing a relationship with her for solely that reason? -Daniel
As someone who deals with chronic illness, I am on medication to regulate my medical condition and then pain management for when my condition is not under control. Given what the Bible says about sobriety, how do we reconcile pain management with Scripture? -Emily
Segment 4
When it comes to entertainment, how do I navigate what is right or wrong for me and my wife? There are certain shows that we can watch together, but then there are those I believe cause me to stumble. They contain immodesty and things of that nature, that don’t necessarily bother her. Would it be okay for her to watch those shows alone, or does it effect us as a couple since we are one?
I’m not quite sure how I feel about this particular question. Serious question for Todd… Which is worse for you, church signs or dad jokes?
I have been very put off and uncomfortable with the cultural suggestion that men need to be very vulnerable, share their feelings, and talk in a soft peaceful tone. My general disposition is that men ought to focus on their duties and perform without grumbling. Men should lead with strength and courage, and that men can confide in one another without frivolous talk about feelings. Are my inclinations on this matter correct and biblical? -Nate

There is a limitation to adiaphora.

It’s Mailbag Friday! How do you decide in the Old Testament what was strictly for the nation of Israel and what is applicable to New Testament believers?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: February 23, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0223.mp3It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers.
If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
I have a job in the healthcare system and part of my job is caring for people who have mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Some clients “hearing voices” that tell them things like to go around and light fires, that their food is poisoned, and other thing. So my question is, is schizophrenia modern-day demon possession? -Hannah
Did God bless the United States specifically? -Douglas
Do you think someone is truly saved if they also carry the belief that you are not saved until you have been baptized? And also if they believe they can lose their salvation? -Emily
In addition to the gospel and essentials of the faith, how much doctrinal compatibility should there be before Christians date or marry each other? -Michelle
Segment 2
I’m 46 years old, single with no kids. One of the spiritual gifts that I believe the Lord has given me is the gift of having a heart to give. I get such great joy from seeing how I can bless others with my giving. Being that I may not be getting married or having kids, I’d like to give the principal of my retirement savings and live off the interest. If I leave my retirement savings to different ministries when I die, does the Lord still consider it giving even though I’m not alive anymore? -Josh
I work as a Pharmacist and I am wondering, if giving medication to the patient/customer in the pharmacy is the same as participating in the act of potentially aborting a baby? -Simon
How do you decide in the Old Testament what was strictly for the nation of Israel and what is applicable to New Testament believers? -Jodi
Segment 3
What do you do about fellowshipping with people who creep you out in the church? I am always kind towards them but I do feel bad about the bad feeling I get when I’m around them and find myself avoiding them. -Anonymous
I saw a shirt that is a pro-life shirt that quotes Jeremiah 1:5. It says “before I formed you in your mother’s womb I knew you”. Is that taking a verse out of context to push an agenda? -Jess
My friend is part of the Free Masons, and has invited me to be a part of it. Even after searching the internet, I don’t have a clear understanding of what this club is and how it functions. What would the Bible teach regarding clubs like this? -Jeff
What are some ways to overcome the pain of failed hopes and dreams? -Kadeef
A church in my area has a location in Las Vegas, and recently they talked about setting up a booth at an adult entertainment convention, from which they spread the Word in hopes of motivating people to get out their sexual immorality. While I get the logic, is it right that they purposely put themselves in such an environment? -Anonymous
Segment 4
My family and I regularly pass out gospel tracts in Thailand. A female pastor saw us doing this and invited us to her church, even suggesting that I preach or give a short message. We belong to a church that holds a biblical view on pastoral roles, specifically that they are reserved for men. So, is accepting this offer a good way to share the gospel, or would it be seen as endorsing unbiblical practices? -Daniel
My Pastor has subtly brought in the prosperity gospel, I have had a few meetings with him about my concerns, but I’m still concerned and confused about staying and continue questioning in hopes that The Holy Spirit convicts his heart and mind to the Truth, or go to the Baptist church in town where there is sound doctrine? -Daniel
I’m concerned that I lack true sorrow over my sins. I want my grief to primarily be because I’ve offended God, not just feeling bad about consequences. How can I develop a sorrow that sincerely grieves over how my sin hurts the Lord? -Sam

Segment 1
Naaman dipped himself in the river 7 times not 3. -David
I’m from India. I was a habitual liar and would lie even for small, unnecessary things. Mostly white lies which didn’t cause harm/damage to the people I lied to. Do I need to confess only to God or to the people also? What did you do in your life? -Naveen
I have a 13 year old daughter and I would like to find a good devotional for her and a Bible study. She’s not sure if she is a Christian. She reads her bible daily but not out of desire but routine. The alarm goes off and now it’s time to read. When asked she’ll tell you she isn’t sure if she’s a Christian. What do you recommend for a devotional and bible study for her age that we could go through together or she could go through on her own? -David
Segment 2
I have attended a church for almost a year now that has slowly become less and less biblical (but not heresy) and after a couple of chats with the pastor, he told me “If you don’t have trust in our leadership, you should find a new church.” Since then, I have attended a few other churches and have realized how more Biblical they are BUT I am still fearful that all the same regression may happen again. How can I be sure a church is truly biblical, and how can I restore trust in a shepherd when I’ve been let down in the past? -James
What would you say the line is when it comes to the inspection of fruit in the life of the believer vs. falsely assuming where someone is? -Emily
Segment 3
My husband, who claims to be a Christian, doesn’t read the Bible nor does he think he needs to go to church. I have been seeing positive fruits developing in him, like giving up heavy alcohol abuse and becoming a better husband. He spends a lot of time watching weird videos that seem to be trying to disprove the truth of the Bible. He has even told me that my NKJV Bible isn’t a good version to use, though he can’t tell me what a good version is. I’ve tried talking to him, but sometimes it turns into a fight. I don’t want to quench the good things that are happening, but how do I address his arrogance and get him to listen to truth? -Anonymous
Is donating a body to a medical school allowed as a Christian? -Cary
Can you please educate me on tithing and first-fruit? -Promise
Segment 4
I am a born again Christian and have a wonderful relationship with God. I don’t care for church services but my friends who go to church seem to be offended by this. How do I explain that church services just don’t float my boat? -Elizabeth
I am in high school and seriously considering a career in biblical counseling, but I am unsure to whether this path goes against the prescribed roles for women in the church. How does the Bible address this? -Serena
I was recently diagnosed with a genetic disorder and my doctor recommended I look into physical therapy as well as aquatic therapy. The only clinic that is anywhere near me with aquatic therapy, the PT is a woman who happens to be married to another woman. Is it a sin for me to go to her clinic and receive treatment from her? -Kailyn

When will Alpharetta Bible Church have its pipe organ installed? -Noah
Is it biblical to sing a worship song written by a woman in a worship service? Would it be the same as letting a woman preach during a worship service? -Kyle
I have been asked to say a few words and read scripture at funeral. The deceased was not a believer and I’m struggling on what to say. Any suggestions? -Shane

Segment 4
What would be considered the dominant heresies or false teachings threatening Christianity today, similar to how gnosticism was addressed in 1st and 2nd John? -Jessi
I’m a high school senior girl and plan to enter a Christian college in the fall. I will be in a dorm with a close friend and she has discussed her excitement for making new friends. I feel like maybe our friendship could be put on the back burner. Maybe not, but also I’m not someone who specifically wants a large group of friends. I’m definitely not anti-social and I like meeting fellow believers, but I would love to have an inner circle of Christians I could grow and open up with. Do you have any advice on how I could make those kinds of strong, godly relationships? -Anonymous
How do we deal with family members who we rarely see and who have a vague sense of being Christians but are clearly unconverted? You can’t just give them the gospel, since they think they are Christians. I attempted to use God’s law in a recent encounter, avoiding treating them as unconverted, but it felt like a no-win scenario. What should I do? -Anonymous

Alistair Begg’s A-Bomb caused a little bit of a ruckus.
The fall out is massive, and it has left many Christians looking for answers.
There are many other unbiblical weddings that people are now asking about.
How does God feel about unbiblical unions and Christian participation? Did Alistair Begg have a point?
Segment 2
What kind of King is King Jesus?
Emails from listeners – “Are you being consistent?”
As we study who we are and what marriage is – we get clarity.
Segment 3
How do we Christians make decision on other unbiblical celebrations?
What does your presence communicate?
Whether anyone knows who you are or not, your presence communicates something to those there and to God.
If we are in His Kingdom, we should realize we are called to sacrifice.
Segment 4
Do you know why Shepherds Conference disinvited Alistair Begg?
Was it the right decision?
We don’t know the complexities or thought processes there.
If your pastor isn’t saying something you want him to say – go slow in your critique.
We don’t want to get into a situation where we participate in gossip.

The post TWO MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS FOR CONFUSED CHRISTIANS appeared first on Wretched.
It’s Mailbag Friday! Can my child take communion?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: February 02, 2024https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0202.mp3It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers.
If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
I have a 10 year old boy who has taken interest in partaking in communion. We have discussed in detail the purpose and meaning behind it. My question. If a child is considered to be still in the age (mental capacity) of innocence do you think he can fully understand the purpose behind communion? -Steve
If I’m a believer and I’m not a member of a church, what does that mean for me? Can I take communion, am I serving God how I should? -Jesse
Segment 2
Are people in churches like a 7th day adventist church saved? If not, how much of our ministry should be devoted to them? -Phil
My church recently recognized and received a pastor for the women’s ministry. This is an assistant pastor over only this ministry. She is a female. Does this female pastor (overseer) fit our biblical description of pastor in 1 Timothy 3? -Zach
Segment 3
What are some practical things I can have my family, especially my 7 year old daughter, do that can teach her how to serve the church and love those outside the church? -Brad
I watch a lot of sermons by Paul Washer, Ray Comfort, and Steven Lawson. They really kick me into high gear evangelism. But now I get very nervous that I have to witness to every single person I see, everywhere I go and I feel guilty when I don’t get to witness. How can I tell when and how often to evangelize and when not to? -Lopez
Is it better to have a President who puts some limits on abortion, like at 15 or 6 weeks, rather than having a President who fully supports abortion through birth? -Scott
Segment 4
What should we think about a Pastor who repeats sermons after only being in the Church for about 5 years? He’s been preaching for over 20 years? I mean I have the same sermon notes in my bible, and you can even look up on YouTube and almost see a word-for-word of the same sermons being reused. -Anonymous
As a new parent, my wife and I have been faithful to our local church despite changes, including a pastor change. With concerns like not doing the Lord’s table weekly, adding videos during worship, allowing coffee in the sanctuary, the new pastor not being as insightful, and a shift towards contemporary worship music, I’m worried about presenting a casual approach to worship to my son. How can I instill a high view of church in him? -Anonymous
Our church recently announced a rebrand, unveiling a new logo and merchandise during a sermon. I trust my pastor, but using a sermon for this announcement seems somewhat off to me. Am I overreacting, or is there a biblical perspective on this matter? -Joseph

Segment 3
How do I respond personally to advice I disagree with?
Let’s discuss this issue in the realm of unity and fellowship.
Three words that might be very helpful for you. Time, Discipleship, and Local (Church).
There’s a difference between a national and local conversation.
Segment 4
Deuteronomy 18 spends a couple of paragraphs on the things that God hates.
What does God think about an unnatural marriage?

If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
I was baptized in 2019. At the time I was not in a local church, I was a new Christian running around as a lone wolf. I was baptized by my boss in his creek with my Roman Catholic parents as witnesses. I am not even sure the man who dunked me is really saved now. Should I concern myself with getting baptized now that I’m a member of a true and biblically sound church? -Jason
I haven’t been to church for months. This is because here in my country, Ghana, the word of faith prosperity Gospel is rampant. But I feel very convicted for ignoring fellowship so I try to satisfy my conscience by listening to sermons from solid teachers, but I still feel burdened. What should I do? -Sarah
Recently you said that studying eschatology may prove to become increasingly important. I have a few questions: Why study eschatology? If it’s so uncertain or debated, why study it in depth? -Dominic
Segment 2
There is a line in a popular worship song that says, “Holy Spirit, You are welcome here.” This phrase has always bothered me. If we are the church, then the Holy Spirit is already here in our midst. Am I being too critical? -Anonymous
I have a co-worker who I recently overheard talking about being afraid of dying. Do you have any tips on how to evangelize to her? -William
Segment 3
Jesus said, “If you love me you will keep my commandments.” Does this mean that when we sin we essentially don’t love Jesus enough? If our affection grew so great for Christ could we essentially stop sinning all together? -Kyle
Could you please explain big O and small o orthodoxy? -Gabe
Why did the prophet Daniel pray with his windows open, if we are to pray in secret? Are we to pray in public at certain times and in private during other times and if so when are these exceptions? -Richard from the University of Ghana
Segment 4
Is a private covenant between a man and a woman still valid in God’s eyes, even without a public ceremony or church or government recognition, considering marriage is fundamentally between man, woman, and God? Can one be in a marriage union privately and not sin? – Anonymous
How do you lovingly talk to someone who SAYS they’re a Christian, but who believes pornography is just someone’s art and to stop the production of it would be hindering someone’s “freedom”? -Mary
What degree would you recommend to someone who is going into ministry? I want to have a degree that is open for me to go overseas, youth pastoring, or being a head minister. God has called me to youth ministry, however I want to be open to God’s guidance wherever he calls me.
Which Bible should I give to a baby Christian? -Gina

Do you have any advice for how to witness to a friend who talks constantly and who typically doesn’t stay on one topic very long? -Talia
My husband and I enjoyed watching movies together, but I’ve been avoiding anything with blasphemy or bad language since late 2020. My husband thinks I shouldn’t be so strict. Am I? -Anonymous
A couple of questions about death and dying. Is it bad to say ‘They are in a better place now’ about someone whose salvation isn’t certain? Also, how many last minute, last week, last month conversions are actually true? -Jared
My son has severe autism and is not very verbal. I worry he can’t understand the Gospel or grasp morality. Is it possible for someone to never reach the ‘age of accountability’? -Brent
Segment 3
I recently had my trust broken, and I’m struggling with forgiving the person. I know I must forgive, but it’s hard. What advice would you give to someone struggling to forgive and is it wrong to limit interactions with this person in the future? -Corey
I am evangelizing to a coworker, she seems to be wanting to learn more and even go to church, however her unbelieving husband has told her that he will divorce her if she converts to Christianity. How should I go about evangelism, and how should she go about growing in Christ without driving the two of them apart? -Anonymous
I have heard the call to ministry, but studying medicine and becoming a doctor has been my long-term goal. How can I be sure that God is calling, and it’s not just me? -Ryan
I’m a High School student surrounded by drama. A guy I once was interested in, says smart biblical things, but also loves to gossip. How should I Biblically confront him and my other classmates? Or should I even try? -Lauren
I am a new mom and need some help. I have struggled to consistently read the Bible, even before having a baby. Now, time and motivation are hard to find. How can I develop a discipline in this area? -Alexandra
Segment 4
My friend, who I don’t see very often, claims to be a Christian, but now seems fine with his sister living in sexual sin. Should I cut ties with him or keep the friendship and hope to correct his thinking? -Sterling
“Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him.” Did Jesus have long hair? It seems that every portrayal of Christ shows him having long hair. If so, how do we relate this to 1 Corinthians 11:14. -Gabe
What is the ‘ratio’ of working on my faith myself and letting God transform me? I don’t want to be legalistic, but I see many problems in myself that I feel I need to address. -Destin
I was wondering if a pastor is always called to be a pastor for life assuming they did not disqualify themselves? For example, if a pastor quits after 20 years and goes into accounting, is he ignoring his calling, was he never called, or did God only call him for a season? -Anonymous

If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
I know that fear of man is a sin in my life. I have heard the main way to combat this sin is the fear of the Lord. How do I practically grow in the fear of the Lord? -Alexandra
I am a small group leader in my church youth group. I am worried that my students are not reading their Bible and coming up with excuses to get out of it. I understand that as a teenager, I was busy. How can I motivate my students to read their Bible? -Anonymous
Segment 2
What would you say is the main reason God can’t just “forgive” angels even IF they wanted to repent? -Hunter
Can we discuss the Biblical perspective on aging gracefully for women, especially in light of the new trend where older female celebrities like Martha Stewart and even Dolly Parton are being celebrated for showcasing their bodies? -Charis
Segment 3
I want to follow Jesus but I don’t understand God’s design for marriage. Why did God give men all the power over women in marriage? The Bible says we’re all one in Christ. So why is submission necessary anymore? -Elle
You briefly mentioned that in a Christian marriage, the husband should act like Jesus and his wife should act like the Church. Could you elaborate on what it looks like for a wife to act like the Church? -Anonymous
Segment 4
In light of sola fide, is it correct to say that repentance is necessary for salvation but is not the cause of our salvation? -Nicholas
Can you point to something in the Bible that supports using Gospel Tracts (leaving them for people to find/handing them out)? I use tracts regularly as conversation starters, but many people at my church are turned off by the idea of using tracts. They find them offensive, ineffective, and out dated. -Jessi
-Recently you talked about how millennials dread becoming mothers. I am a mother of a three year old and a one year old and I don’t enjoy it most of the time. I sympathize with those who don’t want kids because being a mother feels like a never ending, difficult burden. My question is how do I actually start to enjoy my children instead of regret them? -Anonymous

How does one decipher between the spirit trying to correct or the devil using guilt of sin to break you? -Anonymous
Having been part of and actively involved in our church for six years, I’ve noticed that Sunday messages often focus on serving in ministry or vision casting, reflecting my pastor’s interest in organizational leadership. Rarely do I hear a message about the gospel. Should this be a cause for concern? -Paul

What are some ways that a socially anxious Christian can serve in the church? I am not comfortable around other people and struggle in social situations. I know I sometimes need to push myself to be around others even if I don’t enjoy it, but I was wondering if there may be something that is not as stressful and difficult for me. -Elizabeth
Segment 3
I listen to you and Jimmy everyday at work. I confess to God that I’m a sinner and put my faith and trust and what Jesus did for me on the cross, but I hear you talk a lot about repentance and maybe I am misunderstanding, but are you saying people need to stop sinning when they repent? I don’t see how the sin will ever stop until we die. -Steve
Hello, I’ve been troubled since watching your video on false converts, particularly the part about them not delighting in God’s word. I’ve been saved for nearly four years and try to love God’s word, but I struggle to read it regularly and truly delight in it, despite knowing its truth and value. Is my difficulty in finding joy in Scripture an indication that I’m not truly saved? -Caleb

It’s Mailbag Friday! What are your thoughts on the appropriate levels of financial disclosure in church budgets?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: December 08, 2023https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2023-1208.mp3It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers.
If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
I’m wondering about the depth of financial transparency a church should provide to its members, specifically regarding staff salaries. Some churches show only the total sum of all staff salaries in their budget, while others list each staff member’s salary individually. I’ve seen both approaches in different churches. Intuitively, full transparency seems ideal, but maybe there are aspects I’m not considering. Although it’s not a top-tier issue, I believe it’s still important to address. What are your thoughts on the appropriate levels of financial disclosure in church budgets? -William
I have been experiencing fear and distrust in myself when confessing my sins, as I struggle to believe that I am truly repentant. This fear leads to obsessive thoughts and repetitive Scripture quoting. How can I find assurance of forgiveness and maintain intimacy with God despite my struggles with fear and doubt? – Mitchell
Segment 2
Are you struggling with assurance? Maybe you need to hear this.
Does God withhold blessings due to sin? I’m struggling with the fact that I desire a wife and children, but haven’t received these blessings, despite seeing others with the same sins who have. I don’t want to covet, yet I can’t help but wonder why this is happening. -Ephraim
Can you discuss how male church leaders should handle and address interactions with females? I’m curious because I saw an elder from my church meeting alone with a college girl for coffee. They were talking in a semi-secluded area, and the conversation was mostly the girl sharing personal issues, with the elder listening and offering basic Christian advice. Is it unwise for him to meet alone with a girl half his age? Should he have directed her to a female leader? As church leaders are held to a higher standard, I’d appreciate your view on whether this situation appears unwise or gives the appearance of evil. -Anonymous
I have a concern about my daughter, who’s in her early 30s and engaged: She and her fiancé plan to travel together for three weeks in South America, prior to their marriage. While they assure me of their honorable intentions, I’m troubled by this and their resistance to my counsel. Do you have any advice you can offer for handling my discomfort, especially since I can’t prevent them from going? -Anonymous
Segment 3
I attend a great confessional church where we stand for the Doxology, but we remain seated during the reading of God’s Word. This practice has been bothering me. I know there’s a risk of elevating confessions and creeds above the Bible, and while I’m not suggesting my church is doing this, it does raise questions for me. What’s your perspective on this practice? -Michelle
Do you think it’s wise to have a term limit for elders and deacons? -Josh
I keep getting told by everyone that my main issue is I lack confidence. I try to avoid boasting about myself, but both in job searches as well as dating, it seems to stand out as a detriment as if I am weak or unmanly. Any advice in this regard. -Anonymous
Segment 4
Within the past year or so, I have been learning more about correct theology, and have realized that the church I’ve been attending since I was 8 years old (I’m now 21) is a false church. One of the secondary problems I have with the church is their stress on the King James Version of the Bible. They believe that if you don’t have a 1611 KJV Bible then you don’t have a Bible at all, and any other translations are satanically driven to deceive believers. Do you believe that this alone is reason enough to leave this church? -Daniel
If you feel like you are going to die, so you pray and tell God that you promise to change your bad behavior, and lo and behold you slip up and once again do that very thing you promised you wouldn’t!!! What is the scriptural answer? -Anonymous
As believers in the trinity, when we pray, how should we address the Lord properly? We’ll say things like, “in Jesus’ name”, but aren’t we praying to Jesus? And do this “by your spirit”, but aren’t we also praying to God, the Holy Spirit? T -Jonah
What are your thoughts on James 2:24, which states ‘man is justified by works, and not by faith only’? I’m struggling to reconcile this with other teachings in the New Testament. Can you help me understand it better? -Levi
I’ve been constantly rejected when trying to date and it makes me sad and hurt. How can I overcome these feelings and find value in Christ instead of relationships? Are my priorities out of order? -Mike

It’s Mailbag Friday! You said kids are ghosting their parents, but I feel like parents are ghosting their kids.

Segment 1
Should men who strive to be biblical, and physically able, learn some form of basic self-defense? -Fong Lee
You said kids ghost their parents. I feel parents are ghosting the kids, by not having daily family meals together, not going to school events and not talking to each other. -Andrew
I have a family member who will only partake in the Lord’s Table if the bread being used is unleavened bread. While I agree that unleavened bread is certainly a more accurate representation of Christ’s sinless body, I see no command in Scripture for Christians to use unleavened bread during this ordinance. -Jason
Segment 2
I have heard you say, “We are told in the Bible that we are to live a gospel centered life.” What does that mean? -Don
Why is Handel’s Messiah the most beautiful song ever written, and why are you a heretic, if you disagree? -Arie
Segment 3
Hymns and Oscar Navarro.
Segment 4
I was recently told that I shouldn’t use innocent/guilt/law language when witnessing to people from honor/shame cultures. Is there any wisdom in this? While it makes sense to me that shame may be a bigger deal than guilt in some cultures, I also know that all people have a God given conscience and therefore have the capacity to understand they have broken God’s laws and are guilty, regardless of cultural context. -Jessi
I help with a Bible study for 4th grade boys and recently we went through the 10 commandments and they replaced “you shall not commit adultery” with “respect others.” I understand that the lesson is trying to be age appropriate, but it doesn’t seem right to me to skip over the 7th commandment, especially with how much people break it these days. I was wondering how should we teach little kids about the 7th commandment “you shall not commit adultery.”? -Jacob
I’m interested in studying the history of the early church and the Protestant Reformation in more depth. Are there any reliable resources that you would recommend? -Andrew
I have a question regarding a recent episode where you said that young men who aren’t married yet should start acting like husbands and dads. What is involved in that? I fall into the age group you mentioned, and I want to know how this would apply to me. -Johnathan

What exactly is the unforgivable sin? I’ve heard various interpretations and opinions on it, and I’m getting confused. -Dylan
Recently you mentioned that if someone hurts you, you should always have a posture of forgiveness, but you do not have to throw yourself back into the situation that caused the hurt. I have a parent who keeps disappointing me in our relationship by sharing my private information with others without asking, and so I don’t trust them. But, now I have a baby and I do not want the same thing to happen with him. Do I keep them at arm’s length if they have proven themselves untrustworthy, or do I forgive them and let them right back in good standing with their grandson? -Sarah
Segment 4
How does that honor your parents?
I have a coworker who I consider a friend and who professes to be a Christian. However, we recently had a conversation where he expressed doubts about the inerrancy of Scripture, despite my efforts to share relevant Bible verses. I am genuinely concerned for his soul and unsure how to proceed from here? -Matt
How can I increase my obedience to Christ? I long to obey Him more because I love Him so much, but I find myself neglecting prayer and just speeding through the Word in my devotion time. -Zach

I need some advice on how to best encourage my husband, who is a (bi-vocational) discouraged pastor, besides praying continually for him.

What are your thoughts regarding Christians who write fantasy stories and want to honor God with their work? How should we portray things like magic and characters committing sin? -Ren
Segment 3
Mr. Friel, if you had to choose a church to be a member at (assuming both are doctrinally sound), which would it be? Church #1 has a phenomenal pastor who preaches spot on every week, but the church body does little together apart from Sunday services. Church #2, on the other hand, has a mediocre pastor, yet the church body is incredible, actively working in each other’s lives and serving the Lord together. Given these two choices, which church would you choose for membership, and why? -Sam
I’ve been looking into the origins of chiropractic care and found that its founder, D.D. Palmer, was a spiritist who claimed to have received chiropractic knowledge from a deceased physician. Palmer’s approach to chiropractic was closer to a religious belief than medical practice. I’m curious about your opinion on its use and compatibility with Christian beliefs. -Luke
Segment 4
I feel like patience is one of the characteristics God has been working in my heart the past few years, and through a lot of waiting, even though I’m only 18, I’ve grown in patience, but I wouldn’t say I enjoy being patient. Even though I trust God and His timing, I don’t have a high regard of patience. How would you suggest I can learn to enjoy patience when more often than not, I am more indifferent to it? -John
What in the world is the Message Bible and why shouldn’t I use it. -Eric

If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
Should we simplify the gospel for young children? For example, should we mention things like hell? -Jeremey
My family and I have been attending a church for a while but are not yet members. They asked my husband to help with the music. I feel he should be a member before serving. It makes me wonder if this is a church we should join. What are your thoughts? -Anonymous
Segment 2
Can you discuss church constitutions, specifically elder-led versus congregationally-directed governance models and the hybrids in between? -Anonymous
What are your thoughts on Christians using religious greetings and sayings from other faiths, like saying ‘Namaste’ to a Hindu or ‘Blessed be’ to a Wiccan? I want to be respectful of other cultures but not dishonor God. Is it okay or should these be avoided? -Kenny
Should Christians be in support of the building of the 3rd Temple? -Anonymous
Segment 3
My wife and I (married for nearly 7 years) just realized we disagree on if women should or can be pastors. How do we come to an understanding as a couple if we don’t agree? -Anonymous
If someone breaks into my home and holds a gun to my friend’s head, demanding that I deny Christ or else they will kill my friend, what should I do? I don’t want to deny Christ, but I also don’t want my friend to die because of my choice. What does Scripture instruct in this kind of scenario? -Joe
What’s your approach to witnessing effectively to atheists online? Or do you think online witnessing isn’t worth it compared to in-person, where it seems more effective? I’m trying to be a good ambassador but it’s tough to break through their veneer online. -Rob
Segment 4
Given the one flesh nature of marriage, do you think it’s appropriate to always study scripture with your wife, or is individual personal study still important? I’ve been thinking more and more about marriage lately and studying scripture with my wife is something I’m particularly excited about so I was curious about the one flesh aspect of things. -William
It seems I will remain single due to consistently being rejected. So my question is, how can I remove my desire for marriage? -Mike
I came across someone advocating conservative Christians join liberal mainline Protestant churches to try to make them more conservative again. My question is twofold: 1) When a church goes liberal, should conservatives stay or split? And 2) Is there merit to joining liberal churches to try to steer them back to conservatism? -Corey
Just heard about your demonetization on YouTube. Do you think that we are coming full circle with “speech” and that the only place speech will be free WILL BE OUT IN THE OPEN AIR???? -Anonymous

If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
How did ancient Gentiles receive salvation before Christ? Salvation was for Jews first, but what path was there for Gentile salvation in Old Testament times? Weren’t Adam, Eve, and everyone before Abraham Gentiles? What was their path to salvation? -Sherri
I have meditated for a few months now, but only have just recently thought about the origins of it, and its central use in false religions. If I am only using it to clear my head, is that ok, or should I be only relying on prayer to attempt to think more clearly? -Cory
Segment 2
I’m struggling to have good relations with my in-laws. They regularly go behind my back to my wife and criticize my decisions and how I lead my family. I want to honor them, but I’m hurt that they tear me down to my wife rather than approach me directly with wisdom on how I could improve. This has created tension between me and my wife. What should I do to honor my in-laws while dealing with this hurtful dynamic? -Seth
Segment 3
Recently you said some people might not see good results “this side of heaven.” Can you give me an example of how we might see good fruit from bad experiences after death, if we love the Lord? -Hannah
I’m convinced using the law to expose sin is biblical when evangelizing. But is it unbiblical to not use it? My church’s evangelism training doesn’t mention the law, judgment or hell, just presenting brokenness as the problem. What advice can you give on participating in these kinds of evangelism events where the law isn’t used? Should I engage anyway or distance myself from a potentially false gospel? -Jessi
Segment 4
For some time now I’ve felt what seems to be a calling to preach. I have a very sinful past including fornication. I’ve repented of this, and I know God has forgiven me, but does he take that opportunity away as part of a consequence for my actions? -Marc
I am married to a christian man, but over the last 9 years I have not seen much fruit that shows his desire to live for the Lord. My worst fear is that he was not fully saved though he thinks he is. How do I respond to this delicate matter as a believing wife, and how do I approach our church leadership without undermining my husband. My desire is for him to be saved. -Anonymous
Should we as Christians mock and demean Satan and his demons or have respect for them? I hear many Christian’s call Satan “Lucy” to demean him and mock him. They also seem to have this laid back attitude towards Him. While we serve Christ alone and Satan is a defeated enemy, are we supposed to show that type of attitude towards him? -Kyle
What are your thoughts on teenagers drawing/doodling during service? I’m finding that almost all the young people in our church are doing this during the sermon. Is it something that should be addressed or just left up to their parents to decide whether or not it’s appropriate? -Anonymous

I have a close friend who hasn’t gone to church growing up but is a Christian, he goes to the same Christian school as me and does truly love God. But he struggles to meet with other believers even in youth group or our own Bible study that I’ve started with other guys my age. I invite him every time but he usually doesn’t come. What should I do? -Samual
When it comes to the evidence of salvation, do I need to be able to check every box before I can have assurance? If not, how should I view that evidence? I struggle with despair because I’m never sure if I have enough evidence for true assurance. -Amber
Segment 2
Is it wrong to claim tax deductions for donations and weekly church offerings when filing taxes yearly? I’m conflicted because it doesn’t seem sacrificial if I get money back. Some Christian friends claim them, others don’t for the same reason. Is there any biblical reference to help me decide? -Jana

Can you please define the essentials of the faith as well as what are secondary and tertiary issues? -Steve
Segment 3
In the Numb Little Bug episode you emphasized the importance of work to human flourishing. I agree with what you said, but I struggle with satisfaction at work. Pastors and podcasters are the ones who typically call people to find contentment in their work, but in my opinion they have dream jobs. They can study what interests them, and tell others about it. No one dreams about doing what I do. What about people like me who really are stuck in jobs that meet physical needs and that’s about it? -Mike
One of our church elders attended a Beyoncé concert. Her songs include anti-christian and disgusting lyrics. I’m outraged but my elder husband, while agreeing it was unwise, doesn’t think the man should be confronted. Am I wrong to be so upset? Shouldn’t our elders say something to him? -Anonymous
Segment 4
Todd, knowing that 1 John 3:17 says “whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?”, how can you, who has a working shower, sit by and laugh at Jimmy’s water heater predicament? -Daniel
Recently you talked about Spurgeon and how infants go to heaven. You said that they have not willfully sinned therefore they will not be damned. How does that fit with humans having a sin nature? -Anonymous
I’m a single guy who is involved in kids ministry at my church. Outside of official church events, what’s a good way to come alongside the families as they raise their kids? -Kyle

Segment 1
What happened to Todd? His anointing is gone. -Anonymous
I am a manager and one of my employees seems hostile to Christianity and a practicing homosexual. I feel like if I share the Gospel with her, it will result in a phone call to HR. I want to provide for my family, but also want to share the gospel wherever I can. Would it be wise for me to keep it to myself in this instance? I’d love to hear from Jimmy on this as well. -Brian
You’ve talked a lot about how women can’t teach men in church, but what about other things? Is it ok for a woman to teach art or biology or business at a university? -Anonymous
I had someone ask me if we will be male and female in Heaven? They said, since there is no need to procreate once there, why have male and female? What say you? -Anonymous
Segment 2
I found Christ after enlisting in the military. I know wars are predicted in the end and I’m ready for may come, but is it sinful to take part in this warfare? I’m wrestling with the morality of potentially taking life and all the evils that come with warfare now that I’ve found Christ. -Anonymous Sailor
Is there a specific daily prayer I should be saying? -Mrs. Siglin
Segment 3
My church is going through Wretched Worldview 2 and this week’s lesson was on taxes. Many questions arose after, and one that is still coming up that I’d like your take on. What is the biblical approach to write-offs and subsidies to lower the taxes one pays? -Darrell
What about resisting Caesar when he attempts to deify himself? -Anonymous
I have a dilemma. A work acquaintance of mine is going through a rough time of suffering (her husband is dying of cancer) and so almost every time I see her, she is in a bad mood. She is hurt, frustrated, sad, and even angry. I see her suffering and want to offer the gospel of Jesus Christ to her. But since she doesn’t seem to be in a talking mood most of them I’m with her, I usually don’t say much of anything. I’m at a loss how to share the gospel in this situation. What do you suggest? -Talia
Segment 4
Beep Texts
You recently said, “we shouldn’t read the Bible in one hand with the news feed in the other.” Can you elaborate on this? I’m asking because someone I was recently talking to said the exact same opposite…”read the newspaper in one hand and your Bible on the other.” I’m confused! -Becca
You mentioned recently that we should reflect on the eternal state of sinners who wrong us as a means to help us forgive them. I have heard it said that a mother in Heaven will be glad that her own child is being punished in hell because of her perfect love for God. I have no problem with either of those statements, but why should we be sorry about the eternal damnation of sinners now if we will be glad of it in Heaven? -Anonymous
Thoughts on being re-baptized? -Anonymous

At my church we have only 1 teenage girl and 1 teenage boy. Since we don’t have any programs for youth, we don’t have a youth pastor. As a woman, would I be permitted to begin a class for these teenagers? Would it make any difference if it was a worldview class rather than a Bible study? -Marisa

In your opinion, does the local church have the authority to tell me to marry a specific person? -Diane
My church is solid theologically, but every now and then, our pastor preaches on tithing 10% so God can bless the other 90%. He also says this opens our household to the Lord’s protection over our relationships and possessions. I find this to be prosperity-oriented and wonder if I’m sinning by questioning it. -Anonymous
Segment 3
What are your thoughts on presuppositional apologetics? Some proponents argue it’s the only valid approach because of Romans 1, saying “people already know God exists.” They also point out that the Bible doesn’t rely on evidence for God. On the flip side, it seems the early church didn’t use this method and it only gained traction in the 1800s. So should we use it exclusively, in moderation along with evidentiary apologetics, or avoid it altogether? -Nathan
I recently attended a Christian comedy show where they used a break to promote sponsoring a child in Haiti. While I’m sympathetic to the cause, I felt manipulated by emotional tactics and the use of scripture like ‘the least of these.’ What’s the balance in the desire to serve those in need without feeling like I’m not a Christian if I opt out of a specific program like this? -Kaitlyn
TOMORROW CLUBS MENTION
What’s going to prevent us from sinning in heaven? Adam, Eve, and even some angels managed to sin without a sin nature. Is being fully sanctified after death the whole answer, or is there more to it? -Paul

If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
At what age or stage of spiritual maturity should someone begin taking communion? Specifically, I’m wondering about my 11-year-old son, given the warning in 1 Corinthians about partaking in an ‘unworthy manner.’ Should it be limited to those who have undergone believer’s baptism or made a proclamation of faith? -Justin
Is it a sin for a Christian couple to decide not to have children because of the potential pain and or angst that might be involved in raising them? I understand that children are a blessing; however, what if we don’t want this particular blessing? -Tabitha
Segment 2
What’s your take on the idea that each believer has their own personal guardian angel? Some people even go as far as naming their guardian angel. Does this belief shift reliance away from God, His Word, and the Holy Spirit? -Codie
I recently attended a Baptist church where women led prayers and gave ministry reports during the worship service. Doesn’t this go against the teachings of 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2 regarding women’s roles in the church? -Amanda
Segment 3
Recently, I discovered that a church in my area requires their members to show their W2’s as a condition of membership to ensure they are tithing a certain amount proportional to their income. Would you say that church is in error or are they entitled to do so? -Corey

If you believe we should be dressed in our best at church, does that mean that we should also be dressed up to enter His throne room in our daily prayers? If not, what is the difference? -Bruce

If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
You’ve talked about Christians avoiding same-sex weddings to not affirm the relationship. Should the same principle apply for attending the weddings of heterosexual couples who’ve openly engaged in premarital sex? -Michael
When you’re on campus, I was thinking when you ask them ” how many lies” ” How many things have you stolen?” would it be better to ask just simply ” Have you ever told a lie”?”Have you ever stolen anything?” keeping them focused…with a yes or no question…. -John
Recently got promoted to head the campus ministry at a college. The previous leader wasn’t too involved, so it’s a clean slate situation. Right now, we have a weekly Thursday gathering that’s similar to a church service, plus some Bible studies throughout the week. I’m feeling overwhelmed and wondering if this is sufficient. Any advice on how to effectively run a college ministry? -Daniel
Segment 2
My wife and I are several thousand dollars in debt. We could pay it off in 4-6 months instead of 12-15 by pausing our tithing, but this idea feels almost sinful. How can we approach the issue of debt and tithing in a biblical way? -Joel
What’s your take on church dress codes? Some folks say dresses and collared shirts are a must, while others think sweatpants are okay. For me, being there to hear the Word matters more than what you wear. What’s your perspective? -Ann
Segment 3
For more than 10 years my wife and I have attended a non-denominational church. It was a tough and really cult like experience. We are now at a healthier church and working on recovering from our experiences. Are there any resources we could tap into to promote healing and support our integration into our new church? Thank you sir and God bless. -Richard
I’m in my mid-twenties and deciding between two churches in my new town. One is very welcoming but lacks people my age; the other has more people my age but feels less inviting. How important is age demographic in choosing a church, especially if the first seems more Christ-like? -Chance
Is it biblical for women to pursue men romantically? A friend argued that it isn’t God’s design for women. But from my perspective, I think mutual pursuit is important in a relationship. I may initiate, but if she’s not responsive, it feels pointless. Any scriptural insights on this? -George
Segment 4
As a single man who has an overwhelming desire for marriage, how can I be content with being lonely and single? And a better question would be, how can I believe that God is enough? -Sam
How do you think it is best to make sure one doesn’t fall into the sin of lust while dating and engaged? -Anonymous

With so many decisions to make and not wanting to be caught in the fire, how can I balance day-to-day activities with standing firm in my beliefs and ethics? -Anonymous
I’m surrounded by some pretty vulgar music at work. My coworkers, knowing I’m a Christian, find it funny to see my reaction when an especially inappropriate song plays.

It’s Mailbag Friday! Is eschatological unity commonly demanded for church leadership roles?
Wretched Radio | Air Date: September 01, 2023https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2023-0901.mp3It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers.
If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
I’ve been married for over a year and life’s been tough, but my marriage is a bright spot. Sometimes, I feel like my husband can do no wrong. I realize that I’ve made him an idol in my heart. How can I love him deeply without letting that love turn into idolatry? -Alexandra
Segment 2
I’ve been a Christian since 2004 and love hearing solid biblical teaching. While I’m passionate about the truth and the Word, I struggle with the singing part of worship. I usually sit it out, fearing I’d be a hypocrite if I joined in. Am I sinning by not wanting to sing during worship? -Bradford
Segment 3
Is it biblically justified for a church to require elders, deacons, and teachers to hold premillennial views, or is this adding to scriptural requirements? Is eschatological unity commonly demanded for church leadership roles? -Derek
Segment 4
I’m a licensed funeral director and recently heard your episode on Alkaline Hydrolysis. I agree it’s not the most respectful method. What’s your take on the growing trend of human composting or ‘recomposition,’ currently legal in states like Washington and California? Is this bordering on sin or is it just another method? -Terry
I’ve realized I struggle with religious scrupulosity. Sometimes I’m so confused about what’s actually a sin that it’s hard to discern what’s godly behavior. How do you address this issue? -Amanda
Our church has a couple who appear to be Universalists, even saying things like ‘everyone is saved, they just don’t know it yet.’ Does this mean our church isn’t taking sin seriously? Should I confront them, and how should I go about it? -Elisabet

Wretched Radio | Air Date: August 31, 2023https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2023-0831.mp3Segment 1
The Forgotten Attributes of God – Peter Sammons
Forgotten attributes are a result of topical preachers never preaching through books of the Bible.
You have to take the time and mediate on the information you learn about God.
We shouldn’t focus on one attribute of God.
Segment 2
We cannot wrap our brains around God.
God is not made up of any molecular structure.
Segment 3
Familiar with Granger Smith?
He is a country artist that fills up stadiums, but he is retiring and going to Southern Seminary.
God uses tragedies.
Segment 4
Alice Cooper recently had the nerve to say children can’t change gender.
Dennis Prager says freedom of speech is the most important freedom.
What about freedom of religion?

If you have questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.
Segment 1
Is it appropriate for Christian men and women to use worldly language when referring to their spouse or partner? -Jeff
How does the Holy Spirit testify with our spirit as mentioned in Romans 8:16? What form does this communication take? -Rick
How should believers handle situations where local churches avoid taking biblical stances on sensitive issues like gender identity due to societal pressures? Is it advisable to stay and fight for the truth within the church? -Matt
Segment 2
Is it considered sinful for an adult to order from the kids’ menu at a restaurant like Zaxby’s? -Joshua
Segment 3
I don’t know what the Biblical answer to step family is exactly and I’d like to honor my stepmom as not only my fathers wife but as someone who’s had major spiritual influence in my life by acknowledging her as “mom” but I’m wondering if that isn’t dishonoring to my biological mom since the two of them don’t have the best history. -Anonymous
How were the chapters and verses in the Bible determined historically? Why do these breaks sometimes appear in the middle of a thought or at seemingly odd places? -Greg
Segment 4
I am a newer Christian and have engaged in theological discussions with a coworker. He claims that the doctrine of the Trinity is a pagan belief, citing Acts and the emphasis on baptizing in the name of Jesus. I’m unsure if this belief is widespread or not, but I do wonder if there can still be unity with those who reject the doctrine of the Trinity? -Sabrina
Are family curses – aka sins of the father, real or no? -Anonymous
Is it true that Jesus’ name isn’t actually Jesus and that Yeshua translates as ‘Joshua’? Can you provide clarification on this? -Chris
How should I respond to someone who questions the trustworthiness of the Old Testament while witnessing, even though I have confidence in the reliability of the New Testament? Both are historically accurate, but how do I address this concern effectively? -Sam

Wait, what was the question?

What are the lines of jurisdictional realms?
If we’re going to call this a Christian nation with Christian laws, that’s not far from banning all other religious voices.

Our primary concern is the souls of men.
Segment 3
From the American Reformer – Contextualization is a trojan horse in evangelicalism.
When we try to make Christianity look worldly, it becomes worldly.
Segment 4
Are you not all things to all people so you might win some?
What was Paul suggesting? Did he mean to drop Christian language?
Contextualization is a trojan horse – American Reformer.
The priority of pulpit ministry is feeding the sheep.

Recently, I’ve noticed a shift in how some churches, including my own, are choosing to celebrate or mark Mother’s Day. In the past, we would honor mothers with special sermons, flowers and recognition of their crucial roles in family and society. Yet, this seems to be fading, replaced by brief acknowledgements or even silence. I’m left wondering: Are we witnessing a trend away from honoring mothers within the church, and if so, what might this mean for our commitment to uphold God’s blueprint for the family? -Jill
The doctrine of Original Sin suggests that all humans are born in sin. Considering the affirmation of the early church that Jesus was fully man and fully God, wouldn’t Jesus, being fully human, also have Original Sin? -Chris
I received a flyer in the mail asking for help smuggling Bibles into a country where Bibles are illegal. Should Christians purposely break the laws of other countries even if the reason is good? -Adrian
Segment 2
Our daughter is considering marriage and both she and her boyfriend are dedicated to a traditional family lifestyle, with our daughter planning to be a stay-at-home mom and homeschool their future children. We couldn’t be happier with their values and the love they share. However, we have some concerns about their financial readiness for marriage, specifically regarding their credit and school debt. Despite our suggestions to wait and stabilize their financial situation, they are considering getting married soon and renting a home, a decision we believe may cause more harm than good in this economy. As parents, how much input should we have in their decisions at this stage, especially considering they both still live at home? Where do we draw the line between providing guidance and not overstepping our bounds? -Shannon

The subject of the relationship of church and state has started to heat up.
The dynamic in the conversation has seem to shift.
Previously, the church debated how much the government should be allowed into the church.
Now, the shift sees the church discussing how much it should be involved in the government.
Does the church get to instruct the magistrates how it should rule?
Segment 2
The government can instruct the church on physical things, but cannot move into the spiritual realm.
How far can the church go to enforce Christ being sovereign over all?
Segment 3
What does it mean to over throw the government?
This is a big conversation.
We have to be careful not to step outside of our realm of authority.
God wants us to see the government not as the enemy but the harvest field.
The salvation of one soul has more value than a red wave.
Segment 4
The reformers wrote books on this subject.
We can’t butcher each other over differences of opinion.
If Christ is sovereign over all, where is His omnipotence?
Does He need our help?

Do we agree Christ is Sovereign over all? Yes. Do we agree how that looks? Not so much.Wretched Radio | Air Date: January 16, 2023https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2023-0116.mp3Segment 1
It’s coming. Quickly.
One more thing for us to divide over.
If you thought CRT was bad… there’s another storm brewing.
There’s actually a connection between CRT and this subject.
Segment 2
If Jesus is sovereign over all how should the church view societal institutions like Hollywood, etc.?
We are starting to debate our theology of politics and government.
Segment 3
Hermeneutics? What’s that?
What is our expectation of government?
How do we go about voting or what is our expectation toward those in power who aren’t Christian?
How do we respond to that government when they aren’t behaving the way we think they should?
The new conversation we’re having is when we should resist the government, even to the point of bearing arms.
We’re not having that conversation very well yet.
It will soon make its way into the church… Pastor, are you ready?
Segment 4
Get ready for labeling and division.
There is a bit of a shift in conservative circles that some may not recognize is happening.

Sigmund Freud said happiness won’t be evident until one experiences all of their sexual desires and to make eroticism the central point of life. Someone come take this man’s neurology license away.Wretched Radio | Air Date: December 20, 2022https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-1220.mp3Segment 1
The world loves the emotions hidden in their heart. The real you is stuffed inside of you and you need to get it out.
Sigmund Freud is the one who can be widely credited with our modern sexual ills.
Freud said happiness won’t be evident until one experiences all of their sexual desires and to make eroticism the central point of life.
If you challenge anyone’s sexual desire today, you are suppressing their happiness.
Freud was influenced by Marx.
Have you noticed the war today is wrapped up in language?
Segment 2
Sigmund Freud has determined what makes us most happy is sex.
“I don’t like that.” “I find your position offensive” “I felt unsafe in that discussion.” Where did these statements come from?
A statement can be offensive and still true. Though today, if your statement hurt someone’s feelings you can’t be right.
Dr. Wilhelm Reich said society must dictate happiness.
Traditional moral codes have been shattered thanks to psychology.
Segment 3
Have you lost hope because your parents are pagans?
Dr. Heath Lambert shares his testimony that will hopefully give you hope.
Segment 4

Does the government have the authority to enforce the law of God? Let’s talk about this debate and the current state of religious rights.Wretched Radio | Air Date: December 15, 2022https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-1215.mp3Segment 1
God’s laws are found on two tablets. Do you care for one tablet… or two?
The first tablet is vertical – towards God, and the second is horizontal – toward others.
The debate about the government authority to enforce one or two tablets in the law has been rekindled.
Segment 2
The magisterial reformers, centuries ago, made their case that the government’s duty is to enforce both tablets of God’s law.
Does that mean the government enforces how everyone thinks about God?
The church is the enforcer of these things for believers, rather than the government enforcing these on pagans.
Segment 3
Andy Stanley says WE are the reason for the season.
Jesus is the reason for the season.
Andy Stanley also claimed the Virgin Birth isn’t all that important.
Without the Virgin Birth of Christ, the death on the Cross is useless.
Segment 4

– Practicing religion means you discriminatory according to the President.
-In order for people to have access to healthcare, they have to be free of discrimination.
-The religious rights of our country are under assault.
-12 “Republican” Senators voted for the DisRespect of Marriage Act.
-American Girl Doll has a new book that suggests to 3-12 year olds they can change their gender.

Does the government have the authority to enforce the law of God? Let’s talk about this debate and the current state of religious rights.Wretched Radio | Air Date: December 15, 2022https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-1215.mp3Segment 1
God’s laws are found on two tablets. Do you care for one tablet… or two?
The first tablet is vertical – towards God, and the second is horizontal – toward others.
The debate about the government authority to enforce one or two tablets in the law has been rekindled.
Segment 2
The magisterial reformers, centuries ago, made their case that the government’s duty is to enforce both tablets of God’s law.
Does that mean the government enforces how everyone thinks about God?
The church is the enforcer of these things for believers, rather than the government enforcing these on pagans.
Segment 3
Andy Stanley says WE are the reason for the season.

Let’s have an eschatological chat about Israel.
Supersessionism or replacement theology holds that national or ethnic Israel forfeited or completed her role as the people of God.
Non-supersessionism says Israel and the Church are separate and Israel still holds a role in God’s plans.
Remember what God promised in the Abrahamic covenant?
Where did the idea of supersessionism come from?
Segment 2
Luther, Calvin, Augustine and others believed the Church replaced Israel.
The early church adopted the allegorical interpretation.
There are degrees of supersessionism.
Are there any Bible verses that argue for supersessionsim?
If the church and Israel are now one and the same, why do the tribes of Israel remain in Revelation?
Segment 3
40 Random Pieces of Advice for the Christian Life from Tim Challies.
-
Learn to apologize. First. Often. Apologizing is a strength.
-
Remember that your children are sinners. Be gentle with them.
-
Understand you don’t need to have an opinion about everything and everyone.
-
Find a couple whose grown children you would be proud to call your own.
-
Change churches as seldom as possible and only when necessary.
-
You get no free pass on the sin of slander.
Segment 4
-
When the church service ends, make it your goal to meet someone you don’t know.
-
Read the Pilgrim’s Progress at least once.
-
Acknowledge in friendships one person will always be the main pursuer.
-
If you find your children are rebellious, take time to assess if you’re modeling rebellion in your own life.
-
Never disrespect your spouse or speak disrespectfully about your spouse.

Wretched Radio | Air Date: April 21, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0421.mp3 Segment 1
You’ve no doubt heart about the gender debate in Florida..
Legislation has been passed to prevent teachers from teaching sexual topics to 4-8 year olds.
Florida educators (not all of them) are not happy about this.
Disney is also one of the largest vocal opposers to the bill.
A government, a corporation, an education system that seeks to teach these things to children aren’t protecting them, they are harming them.
Florida has now revoked Disney’s 50-year old tax protections..
An article by Mark Hemingway points out this is sexual abuse.
Hemingway writes the sexualization and abuse of children was common-place in the ancient world.
The rise of Christianity created moral intuitions we now take for granted.
Headline – Finnish Supreme Court doesn’t consider sexual abuse of a 10 year old as rape.
Women and children were valued less in the Ancient Greek world.
Progressives today have the same values as Ancient Greeks.
Jesus came and placed value on children.
What progressives are pushing today is nothing more than child abuse. It’s criminal and demands repentance.
Segment 2
What’s going on in Canada… spiritually?
The most concerning religious group in Canada is…
All religious groups surveyed viewed Evangelicals as the group most damaging to society.
74% try to adhere to their religious beliefs.
Why are Christians the one always criticized? Why not Buddha Why not Allah?
It’s because those other gods don’t exist and they know it.
56% of Evangelicals in Canada say they feel ostracized and shut out.
1 in 5 Canadians are classified as unbelievers.
80% are open to spirituality. That’s encouraging.
Todd had an encounter with an unbelieving waitress that was grateful for peaceful dialogue.
Talking with people, listening to them will get you farther than pronouncing their beliefs ridiculous immediately.
Segment 3
A large survey in Canada reveals Canada isn’t a very religious country.
63% of Evangelicals in Canada say they attend church regularly.
Regular is defined as once per month.
Those who identify as evangelicals in Canada say they regularly feel God’s presence.
What does God’s presence feel like?
Evangelical lingo these days is pretty mystical.
“That was a God thing”. “It was just a God moment”
Aren’t they all?
Our feelings don’t inform our knowledge. Our knowledge informs our feelings.
41% of those who identify as Hindu say they feel God’s presence at least once a month.
What do you do with that?
This another opportunity for Evangelicals in Canada.
Engage people with an open ear and desire for a conversation.
Feelings based evangelism leads to false converts who don’t stay the course.
Segment 4
Bad news or good news?
The President and First Lady hosted an “easter” party at the White House.
Biden never mentioned Christ during the “easter” party.
While some see this as bad , it is actually good news.
We shouldn’t desire for non Christians to invoke anything Christian.
Our faith should be so precious to us.
Paul spoke for his great love for Jewish people.
He didn’t hate Jewish people.. He evangelized them first, before the Gentile.
Jesus was Jewish .. He didn’t teach hate for Jewish people.
The point – We don’t mistreat or hate anybody.
God is not finished with Jewish people.
He still has a plan for His people.
Because Jewish people were involved in the crucifixion of Jesus doesn’t mean we crucify them.

Todd and Christopher discuss the celebration of 4/20 (the celebration of the recreational use of marijuana).
Is it acceptable for a Christian to celebrate such a day? Is it sinful for a Christian to partake in the “devil’s lettuce?”

Did you see The Chosen’s Billboards? They were crude and dishonest.
Angel Studios claim they were just trying to attract unbelievers.
Bill Mahr says everyone in the Bible had slaves and God did “bad things”
How did the Bible really depict slavery?
The NY Times in an article said “in this time of war, we should give up God”
Segment 2
University in Ohio paying professor 400,000+ who refused to use different pronouns for students.
New Jersey will begin requiring 2nd graders to learn gender lessons in the fall.
There’s a trend with people who think they’re cats, especially children in high school.
Alabama Governor signs legislation banning transgender surgery on minors.
Segment 3
RESTING IN GOD’S SALVATION is a helpful devotional available now at the Wretched Store
Assurance is something a majority of Christians struggle with at one time or another.
If you lack assurance, you are believing things of the world more than you are God. Look on Christ – that is where you will find the truth.
Adam and Eve threw the world into sin – and God offered them grace and mercy.
Have you done anything worse? What haunts your conscience the most? How does it compare to Adam and Eve’s sin?
What’s more powerful? Your ability to destroy your life or God’s ability to restore your life?
Segment 4
Did you know you could have a mental health disorder according to the DSM5, if you’re grieving?
This is another attempt to medicate a grieving world.
Adults have 1 month to get over a loss. Children have 6 months.
Tim Challies lost his son unexpectedly last year. Todd recently had a sit down with Tim.
Grief is a normal human response to tragedy. Losing a loved one will rock any of us. Don’t expect anyone to be over it in a month.
How out of touch is the DSM5?

The post A WORLD GONE MAD appeared first on Wretched.
Today on Wretched Radio we ask all sort of ecclesiastical questions that demonstrates the importance of the local church. Wretched Radio | Air Date: April 18, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0418.mp3 Segment 1
What did your pastor wear on Easter Sunday?
We celebrate the resurrection every week.
If your pastor doesn’t normally wear a suit, but he wore a suit on Easter – why do you think that is?
We should do what we do on Easter every single week of the year.
What is Church? What’s the purpose? What are we doing?
The local church is a BIG deal. Membership is a BIG deal.
Consider these ecclesiastical questions.
-
What are the ordinary means of grace?
-
Does it matter how the means of grace are dispensed?
-
Is the Lord’s Supper a means of grace?
-
Does it effect how often it should be administered?
-
Is there such a thing as a perpetual visitor?
Segment 2
Continuation of these ecclesiastical questions.
-
Can unbaptized people take communion?
-
Are the elders required to teach?
-
What is the regulative and normative principle worship?
-
Can women pray in a prayer meeting?
-
Can women teach a women’s bible study?
-
What’s the difference in preaching and a theological lecture?
-
How important are the creeds?
-
What about confessions?
-
What about discipline?
How was your Easter sermon?
There is power available to the believer through the Resurrection of Jesus.
Segment 3
Another demonstration on the importance of the local church.
1 in 5 people monthly feel like they’re dealing with a mental illness.
Look for the documentary, “Medicating Normal”
Biblical counseling is so powerful.
Segment 4
How has the church been dealing with mental issues?
There can be times where psychotropics can be useful.
65% of family members with mental issues want the church to talk about it more.
We have to remove clinical, worldly language and use biblical language.
1 in 5 adults in the US experience mental issues once/year
Sending people away to the world for help they should get from the Bible is enormous problem.
Biblical Counseling should be done in the local church.
Transformed is like nothing else on Christian TV. You will be a fly on the wall as you witness REAL Biblical counseling sessions, tackling issues like: anxiety, OCD, depression, phobias, and trauma. These are real people, with real issues, being offered real solutions.

The post A VERY WRETCHED GOOD FRIDAY appeared first on Wretched.
The rules at a golf tournament are extraordinary… but people follow them because they want to be there. What about worship at a church service? Wretched Radio | Air Date: April 14, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0414.mp3 Segment 1
If only the church was like The Masters Golf Tournament.
Todd attended The Masters and found 100,000 men willingly following the rules.
No talking. You can’t walk wherever you want. No cell phones. And 100,000 men readily agreed.
Where is the same attitude toward the Church?
The seeker sensitive model came along to make the Church fun and relevant.
How does God want worship to be done?
What should Church membership look like?
Church is a loftier event than the Masters.
Segment 2
The winner of the Masters, Scottie Scheffler, had this to say after his win: “The reason I play golf is to glorify God”
Do you know it is a privilege to be a member of a local church?
The Bible makes it clear the expectation of the member. The work of the church is expected of members, not the elders.
Were expectations laid out for you before you joined the church?
A new movie is on the way titled “Father Stu” about a RC Priest and it’s Rated R.
The first NC17 rated movie is about to be presented on Netflix.
Segment 3
A woman was robbed leaving a jewelry store in California. The response of leadership? Stop wearing jewelry in public.
A movie review for the movie “Turning Red.” People are actually “turning red” angry.
A reviewer from the Daily Beast was none too happy with critics of the movie.
GCC has recently announced they will soon open two elementary schools. Why? Public school is toxic.
Could more churches explore starting schools?
Segment 4
Who should be “turning red?” A new Pixar movie is loaded with issues only parents should be discussing with their kids.
What is the Pixar approach to honoring father and mother?
The movie suggests that the individual trumps all. Heliocentric, Geocentric, and now Solocentric is a thing.
That indoctrination has caused more division within fam lies than anything else.
A school system is Washington adopts race based discipline. Harsher punishments will be imposed on white students.

Meet Jason from southern India. He claims to be christian, but says he is also part agnostic. So, how does Jason view the Bible? How does he view Hell? How does he view justice?
We also meet an atheist, who never shared his name. This unnamed, mystery man wasn’t shy about sharing his pride in his atheism. So, who does he say Jesus is?
Finally, we meet William. William also hails from India, and is a Hindu. William gives Todd a lesson in cricket and in the Gospel.

The post PART CHRISTIAN? PART AGNOSTIC? appeared first on Wretched.
Wretched Radio | Air Date: April 4, 2022
https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0412.mp3 Segment 1
Are you in the fight?
What fight should we be in? Galatians 5 lays out the battle that should be raging inside each of us.
If we fought the Galatians battle more, we would have few battles inside our local church and on the internet.
Galatians 5:16 “Walk in the spirit and you should not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”
You are a dualistic being. You have one new nature – to be a spirit-filled believer.
What’s the battle inside of you? Your flesh.
We used to feed the flesh all the time. Increasingly, we need to be starving it.
We can listen to and be led by our flesh or the Spirit.
We sometimes tend to love the fight.
Essential or non-essential disagreements should all be handled with respect.
Segment 2
Sometimes, we all have a propensity to not be very nice.
There is a repeated theme in the New Testament Epistles “Be Gentle”
Are we exhibiting and bearing that type of fruit or do we love contentions?
We don’t have to compromise our theology by being more gentle. This is about being more Christ-like.
The conversation between Presbyterians and Believers Baptism folks models this love and gentleness.
Are we looking our for the best interest of others? Are we serving one another? Our true model for this is Jesus Himself.
Matthew 5…Jesus preaches “Blessed are the meek”
Meekness is the opposite of being out of control. Meek doesn’t mean squishy, it means I’m not contentious. It means that I’m nice.
It is very easy for us to not be so gentle and be theological bullies.
Ephesians 4:1-6.
Segment 3
Prepare for some left hooks and uppercuts. The Bible stings and sometimes it intentionally lands a knockout punch.
Even when he was rebuking Jesus was always exuding gentleness.
Proverbs 6:16…one who sows discord among brethren.
Proverbs 16:19…Are you feeling the weight of this? God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
1 Peter… all about gentleness in the face of persecution.
1 Timothy 3:3…gentle, not quarrelsome. Quick to pardon failure.
2 Timothy 2:24-25…a servant of The Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle to all.
Romans 12:3-5…think of others as better than yourself.
Segment 4
We see commands in the New Testament over and over again to do something we’re not bent toward.
We’re told to be gentle. Jesus was and we’re supposed to be like Him.
Titus 3… be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility. If you approach someone gently, your conversations tend to last much longer.
1 Peter 2…love one another fervently with a pure heart.
1 Peter 3:3…gentle and quiet and spirit.
We can have our convictions and fruit of the spirit. This isn’t either/or and both/and.
People who exemplify this are Ray Comfort, Emeal Zwayne, and Justin Peters.
1 Peter 3:8-12…have compassion for one another
We need to be hyper vigilant toward ourselves.
Colossians 3:12-15…put on tender mercies, humility, meekness, long suffering.

Wretched Radio | Air Date: April 11, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0411.mp3 Segment 1
Looking for a side hustle? There has got to be big money in surveys, since there’s so many.
Survey’s are helpful, at times, but we can’t bet our churches on them.
Preschool enrollment makes children learn less.
Oklahoma has proposed legislation banning abortion altogether, unless the life of the mother is at-risk.
Participants of the preschool program in Quebec shows increased anxiety.
Time Magazine did a special report on childhood PTSD. Separating from children at an early age doesn’t appear to have good, long-term effects.
Americans over estimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of majority groups.
The number of gay people in society is remarkably less than what most of us assume.
Segment 2
There has never been a better time than now to promote the local church.
Todd is writing a book, “How the World Works”
What is the purpose of the universe? Jesus.
Everything is centered on Christ. All was created for, by, and through Him.
How can you glorify Jesus in what you’re doing? Don’t keep sacred and secular separated. All things are to be done for the glory of God.
Will the metaverse kill the megachurch? Humans need humans. We are designed to be in community. The best community on the planet is the local church.
Segment 3
Who pays the price in an un-christian society? Women and Children.
How Liberalism Ruined Sex and Degraded Women -Federalist
Even secularists are recognizing women were treated better before porn became so prevalent.
Men are stronger, domineering, and bullies.
The solution from the secularist? Requiring the “porn addled” man provide more romance.
The best form of content for a woman? When a man promises to be faithful in the union of biblical marriage.
Why are we celebrating “big fertility?”
Segment 4
You will never hear a progressive or feminist ask why there aren’t any men being surrogates. They don’t ask because they know the answer.
Men should not compete in women’s sports. Third wave feminism wants women to be separated from their actual gender.
Surrogacy is a multi-billion dollar business.
IVF can be availed by Christians, as long as it’s done properly.
Germany, Bulgaria, Portugal, France have all banned surrogacy.
Surrogacy intentionally severs the bond that exists between mother and child. Children born of surrogacy have lower chances for success in life.
Surrogacy exploits women. The body and mind of women who are pregnant change.
Who pays in a progressive culture? Women and children.
Most women are worried about their children’s spiritual health. It takes a church to raise a child.

CRT is alive and well. A church in Illinois is fasting from “whiteness”. Wretched Radio | Air Date: April 07, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0407.mp3 Segment 1
CRT is alive and well in Illinois.
A church in Illinois is fasting from “whiteness”
They will not use music or liturgy composed by white people.
How do we talk with people about racism?
Darrell Harrison says you don’t.
Lift the conversation out of the sociological and into the Biblical.
Thabitti Nyambuya has announced he is leaving evangelicalism. Why? CRT.
Segment 2
Would you like a steaming bowl of salty tears?
Breaking Bread is a new show that features Todd and Christian pastors (Steve Lawson, Phil Johnson, Justin Peters, etc.) having a meal and discussion.
Tim Challies, who lost his son last year unexpectedly, will be the next guest.
He has written a new book that will be released this Fall.
What helps with tragedy? Understanding the Doctrine of Sovereignty. Understanding the character and nature of God.
God is good. God is sovereign. God is in complete control of everything.
A Christian Father’s Let Will & Testament -challies.com
Pray for the salvation of your children. Pray for their sanctification. Pray they will endure.
Segment 3
Here’s something really juicy we’re not going to talk about.
As Christians, we do not participate in gossip.
Is there ever a good time to discuss accusations? Maybe.
You and I are commanded to not besmirch the name or reputation of anyone without knowing the facts.
For example, X is under investigation by the TBI, according to a report. What do we do with that?
57% of Americans “somewhat agree” that pastors are trustworthy.
The way pastors have presented themselves for decades could be partly responsible for why so many have trust issues with pastors.
Where are the Men of God?
How effective is Pastor Hipster in tragic moments? Why do prosperity preachers wear glasses?
Segment 4
Let’s talk politics.
In North Carolina, the Lieutenant Governor is under fire for having an abortion before he and his wife were Christians.
Let’s hear from Mark Robinson.
Jesus is an amazingly, powerful Savior. Pastor – make sure your congregation knows this.
This issue transcends politics. We have to filter everything through a biblical lens, not a political lens.
From Daily Wire – The President invokes the name of God to explain why parents should embrace trans identity
What does the President need? He needs the Gospel… and a heart transplant.
Genesis 1:26-27 “He created them male and female.” It’s ironic he left that part of the verse out of his speech.

The post APOLOGETICS ANYONE? appeared first on Wretched.
Today in Wretched Radio we discuss the connection between worship and the pulpit. Exalting preaching will produce exalting worship! Wretched Radio | Air Date: April 05, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0405.mp3 Segment 1
Exalting preaching=exalting worship
New worship song: R-OH-OH-OR
Your Love Never Fails. Is this about Jesus or a boyfriend?
The worship of the church will never rise above the preaching.
There is a connection between worship and the pulpit.
Segment 2
Christ in the Old Testament from Free Grace Broadcaster.
Genesis 22 is a picture of Jesus Christ.
Evangelical churches have fallen into a pattern. The Gospel is presented, but as an add-on.
Listen to George Whitfield.
Where is preaching like this today? Where is the preaching that elicits an amazing response about an amazing Savior?
Jesus, not me, needs to be the center of every sermon.
Could this be why we aren’t seeing as many people being saved today? We have to present Jesus, not the benefits of Christianity.
Are you lifting up Jesus, pastor? Do people love Christ more when you’re finished preaching?
Segment 3
We need convicting preaching like George Whitfield’s sermon on The Lord Our Righteousness.
Todd received an email from a university professor about preachers who come to the university and speak down to the children.
Calling people names will never draw them into the kingdom.
Todd is going to LA soon and will do open air preaching with Ray Comfort.
What do say to someone who has been assaulted by an open-air preacher?
More from George Whitfield.
An unapplied Christ is no Christ at all.
Segment 4
Even in our good churches, are we placing focus on more than Christ? Doctrine is good and should be preached, but only through the lens of Christ.
We have preaching about “us” these days.
We should hear about preaching about us, but not about goodness we do not possess. Rather about the total depravity that consumes us.
We do not want to be overly didactic. That doesn’t nothing to keep us close of Christ.
If you’re a preacher, don’t call people out by name. Call them out by demographic.
There can never be a sermon that does not lift Christ..

Could there be a connection between the state of the church and the state of culture?
Carl Trueman writes the strength in America isn’t found in the military, but in the church.
If the culture is rotten, it’s because the church is rotten. This is a fruit of the seeker sensitive movement.
Pastors aren’t even using the title Pastor anymore.
CRT is weakening the church. It persists and persists and persists.
Alistair Begg “The only real United Nations is found at the Cross of Jesus Christ”
The Episcopal Church is advocating for reparations.
Segment 4
Is Todd getting a fresh word from God? No, it’s just the sinuses.
The Academy threatened to “disbar” Will Smith. Under the threat of discipline Smith resigned. Just like a Christian under church discipline.
That’s what church members tend to do. They fall under church discipline and what they tend to do is leave.
Speaking of church discipline. A church discipline letter shared on Facebook that’s used to call Christianity a cult.
Alistair Begg in a recent message speaks about the millions of rotten fish inside the church.
The child of God rejects the culture. The child of God knows he is different.
Without church discipline you can expect a continuing a crumbling of society.
People are using their childhood to excuse sin.
Another problem with the church? Online Zoom Church. It’s not church.

I’m part of a Native American tribe and every year the tribal members receive a percentage of what the casinos make. Is it right to take that money? -Derek

The post ADIAPHORON appeared first on Wretched.
Forget Will Smith! What would YOU do if another man offended your wife? What is the role of the man in protecting women? Wretched Radio | Air Date: March 31, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0331.mp3 Segment 1
Everyone has heard about the Will Smith/Chris Rock incident.
What would you do?
What is the role of the man in protecting women?
There’s a difference in immediate harm and offending someone.
Jesus commands us to turn the other cheek when we’re insulted.
What about a physical assault? What is chivalry? What does it look like to be masculine as a Christian?
Being chivalrous as a Christian is to recognize women are special and different.
Segment 2
Celebrity Christian News from a biblical perspective.
We can learn from Will Smith. We can learn from the Oscars response to this incident.
Starting in 2024 the Academy of Motion Pictures will begin pushing CRT requirements in films.
Wasn’t this what MLK was opposed to?
Florida Gov. officially signed Parental Rights in education bill into law this week.
McKenzie Scott has given 275M to Planned Parenthood.
Segment 3
Will Smith ain’t the only one laying hands on people.
You Be The Judge:
In Corpus Christi TX in 2004, a clerk in a convenience store was brutally murdered from being stabbed over 30 times.
In 2022 – 18 years later – the man who committed that murder is now about to face death.
The death penalty is authorized by Genesis 9.
The inmate has attempted multiple times to stay the execution. Now, he has asked for a pastor to be present in the chamber as he takes his final breath, having hands laid on him.
So, what is laying on of hands? Is the laying on of hands a religious right?
Let’s look at the Bible:
- Genesis: Moses laid hands on Joshua.
- 1 Timothy 4:14: Elders laid hands on Timothy.
Nothing mystical takes place in these instances. It is a symbolic authorization showing one is set aside.
Segment 4
Church News
As Christians, we want to be more thoughtful how we go about talking about anyone. We want to protect someone’s name and consider whether we’ve heard both sides of the story.
If a story is public, you can discuss it if you had something helpful to add.
Case in point, Hillsong appears to be in serious trouble. The Discovery Channel is putting out a 3 episode documentary exposing Hillsong. Numerous ex-members are part of the documentary.
Are we sharing gossip?
Headline – Brian Houston has resigned. Hillsong Atlanta pastor resigns amid Bria Houston scandal.
The Hillsong theology is horrible.

The post DO WE SEE JESUS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT? appeared first on Wretched.
Wretched Radio | Air Date: March 29, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0329.mp3 Segment 1
Are you in the fight?
Galatians 5 lays out the battle that should be raging inside each of us.
We tend to do a fair amount of fighting these days.
You are a dualistic being. You have one new nature – to be a spirit-filled believer.
We used to feed the flesh all the time. Increasingly, we need to be starving it.
Paul is asking the Galatians ‘Whaddya doin?”
We can listen to and be led by our flesh or the Spirit.
We sometimes tend to love the fight.
Essential or non-essential disagreements should all be handled with respect.
Segment 2
Sometimes we all have a propensity to not be very nice.
There is a repeated theme in the New Testament Epistles “Be Gentle”
Are we exhibiting and bearing that type of fruit or do we love contentions?
Philippians 2.
We don’t have to compromise our theology by being more gentle. This is about being more Christ-like.
Matthew 5.
Jesus preaches “Blessed are the meek”
Meek doesn’t mean squishy – it means I’m not contentious.
It is very easy for us to not be so gentle and be theological bullies.
Ephesians 4:1-6.
Segment 3
The Bible stings and sometimes it intentionally lands a knockout punch.
Even when he was rebuking Jesus was always exuding gentleness.
Proverbs 6:16.
…one who sows discord among brethren.
Proverbs 16:19
Are you feeling the weight of this? God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
1 Peter is all about gentleness in the face of persecution.
1 Timothy 3:3 is about being gentle, not quarrelsome. Quick to pardon failure.
2 Timothy 2:24-25 is about being a servant of The Lord, who must not quarrel, but be gentle to all.
Romans 12:3-5 tell us to think of others as better than yourself.
Segment 4
We see commands in the NT over and over again to do something we’re not bent toward. Be gentle.
Titus 3 tell us to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility.
1 Peter 2 we must love one another fervently with a pure heart.
1 Peter 3:3 tells us to be gentle and quiet and spirit.
We can have our convictions and fruit of the spirit. This isn’t either/or and both/and.
People who exemplify this are Ray Comfort, Emeal Zwayne, and Justin Peters.
1 Peter 3:8-12 says we must have compassion for one another
Colossians 3:12-15 tells us to put on tender mercies, humility, meekness, long-suffering.

The post ARE WE FIGHTING MORE THAN FORGIVING? appeared first on Wretched.
Wretched Radio | Air Date: March 28, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0328.mp3 Segment 1
Time to play “name that quote”
Winston Churchill or the Bible?
“Do not be afraid” is the most repeated command from the bible.
Too many sermons focus on the leadership skills of Nehemiah.
But we can’t forget or miss the context of the entire Bible is Jesus.
Nehemiah Chapter 6 teaches us about fear.
Four times Nehemiah was sent a messenger to tell him he was going to be in trouble.
They (Sanballat and others) were attempting to do Nehemiah harm or at least scare him.
Consider today. You get messages today to frighten you. These messages intend for you to stop your work for Christ.
Segment 2
Nehemiah Chapter 6 has much to say about the messages we receive today.
Have you taken time to do an emotional inventory lately?
There’s nothing wrong with knowing there are enemies at the gate. But, are the threatening messages stopping our work for Christ?
Nehemiah 6 gives us clarity.
What is the MO of the Devil? He’s the father of lies. He wants to distract us from the most important thing.
We should gather together to talk about Jesus.
Maybe you haven’t gotten plugged in to Church because of your over fear?
Fear not is commanded over 300x. Fear is rooted in doubt.
Do we need to heed the lessons from Nehemiah 6?
Segment 3
Alistair Begg is inclined to quote hymns.
Music typically helps us remember things.
You and I have a tendency for “comfort” to be an idol – and we fear when we’re uncomfortable.
The hymn “I Walk in Danger All the Way”” comes to mind.
Are you serving in church as much as we should be?
How much of news media is used to distract us?
Even if God is abandoning a nation – He is not abandoning His church.
Segment 4
Fear is a big deal.
Lately, we have been the surrender-er to fear.
If you’ve been sidelined due to fear know you have a Savior that gives you a spirit of power.
Feminism shouldn’t intimidate men from tears.
Godly men can cry. Timothy cried.
Fear can cause selfish, weak character.
If we are fearful, it doesn’t come from God.
If you’re genuinely working for the Lord, you are doing important work.
Should and how do we plan for the future?
As we go, let us do it from a position of the power of Christ.

I was wondering how can I be assertive while I’m witnessing to someone? -Brenton

I work for the government and recently found out they are hiring a Matthew who prefers to be called Vivian. As a Christian in leadership, how do I handle this? -Tyler
Segment 4
BEEP TALK!

The post COULD THIS BE THE DOPIEST EVANGELICAL BOOK EVER WRITTEN? appeared first on Wretched.
God’s name is being blasphemed in this viral trend of “Holy Spirit activation”. This and more Church news today on Wretched! Wretched Radio | Air Date: March 24, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0324.mp3 Segment 1
The nominee for Supreme Court claims she cannot describe what a woman is.
Our culture is in dire need of the Gospel.
There are 350,000 Protestant Churches in the country. Where is the power of the Church? Where have we been spending our energy? How much time a day are you spending consuming news?
New poll finds most Americans aren’t attending church.
If culture is collapsing, remember it is downstream from the Church.
54% profess belief as described in the Bible. Twenty years ago that stat was 86%. 30% of US adults claim they attend service weekly.
We are seeing the fruits of a non-evangelized society.
How many churches invade secular university campuses?
91% claim they’re moral because they follow the golden rule.
Segment 2
Do you need to reconsider your priorities?
People need direction and we have it.
Why is biblical counseling so powerful?
What is your thing?
Our focus must be preaching the Gospel.
Portland’s Children’s Hospital is horrible. Teaching kids sexual things.
The new Supreme Court nominee has been very lenient on pedophiles.
How can we be obedient with our time?
Segment 3
Family Feud guests activates the Holy Spirit.
When a church or movement primarily focuses on the gifts of the Spirit, they are way off the mark.
So much of evangelicalism is starting to smell liberal.
Todd met Steve Harvey in a bathroom one time.
Holy Spirit activation should be something that troubles us.
A number of surveys find most people are not attending church or reading the Bible.
Why are Americans leaving the church?
1 in 3 Christians dropped out of church during covid.
Americans less inclined to view church membership as imperative part of life.
Segment 4
Thanks for a really horrific article Tim Challies.
“Are you Godly Enough to Watch Smut?”
Why are so many evangelicals celebrating watching explicit content?
The trend is to claim you can handle it, and if you cannot, you are not spiritually mature enough.
We should return to a reformer’s hermeneutic.
Christians seem to take sin and turn them into liberty issues.
We’re in a disappointing time where the unwillingness to watch porn is considered spiritual immaturity.
If you have been struggling to read your Bible, read the entire New Testament and mark connections between godly living and the Gospel.
TikTok has become a dangerous breeding ground for mental disorders, according to an article.
Kids are consuming garbage on social media and transforming their lives to look like it.

Allie Beth Stuckey (a conservative Christian commentator from Blaze TV) recently produced a video regarding a homosexual coworker having a baby with his husband.
Her video – “Why I can’t congratulate Dave Rubin”
She does a masterful job displaying how to communicate truth in a loving way, all while sharing theological reasons for her disagreement.
How does she feel about her employer, Blaze TV, sending congratulations to Rubin?
Marriage is at the beginning of Scripture with creation and at the end of Scripture between our Savior and His bride, the Church.
Children are not social experiments. Women’s wombs should not be for rent by strangers.
Children are traumatized when they’re taken away from their biological parents. It’s called Reactive Attachment Disorder.
Segment 2
Let’s listen to a Debunked video on Critical Race Theory.
Everything is new, if you are ignorant of history.
What is CRT? Is it a biblical concept?
This ideology has made its way into the academia, the law and the Church.
All whiteness, whether they know it or not, are racist and oppressors.
The Bible unquestionably asserts there is only one race – the human race.
Any system or cause that uses ethnicity to divide us is un-biblical.
Using racism to cure racism makes zero sense.
To defeat racism we need to hate evil and spread the gospel.
Segment 3
You be the judge.
-
Babylon Bee kicked off Twitter
-
USA Today names a man as Women of the Year.

Best swimmer in women’s sports is a man playing dress up.

Secretary of Education would consider taking legal action against any state making laws preventing boys from competing against girls.
-
A new Maryland law could allow babies to be murdered up to 28 days after birth.

-
Meta-analysis suggests psychopathy may be experiencing an adaptation rather than a mental disorder.
-
The former Gov of NY tells the church he’s a victim of the social death penalty – a modern day stoning.
The world is so broken that only supernatural intervention can fix the stinkin’ thinkin’

Todd was recently in Nashville and learned a lot of things.
The Museum of Tennessee touts evolution and that American is bad.
“White, European males are horrible.”
Is this what our kids are getting in public schools?
Segment 2
Tons of people are moving to Nashville and the drivers are crazy.
The Museum of Tennessee has a distinct posture against white people.
History was shared without any historical context.
Did you know Andrew Jackson was a Calvinistic Presbyterian?
To ignore historical context is to be rotten historians.
High profile pastors are being blamed for certain things right now – but we’re only getting one side of the story most of the time.
We need to practice waiting for the other side of the story to come to light before we formulate an opinion.
Segment 3
In India, Hinduism is on its way to becoming the only religion allowed.
In India it’s really easy to get someone to believe in Jesus, but believing in Christ’s exclusively is another story.
Roman Catholicism seems to be growing faster than Christianity in India.
How do you witness to someone in India?
Free speech and the Bible on global trial.
The article ends with: “Americans, will you fight back to defend you country?”
As Christians, can we get people riled up?
Segment 4
A number of men are being accused of treating women poorly.
What do we do with this? We need to wait until we hear the other side of the story.
Culture has a weighted sensitivity about communication and trigger words. We would do well to be aware of our speech.
There is danger lurking for all of us, especially pastors.
We have to inform ourselves of the “lingo.” What you say and do can get you national exposure very quickly.
A lot of Christians are facing the pressure of the culture as we work in the world.
Religious exceptions are under assault, especially when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues.
Let’s not compromise, or water things down, but be wise.

The post A BROKEN WORLD appeared first on Wretched.
A challenging section of scripture – Matthew 15 in the account of the Syrophoenician woman. Bill Maher, culture, and more! Wretched Radio | Air Date: March 14, 2022 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2022-0314.mp3 Segment 1
How do Christians talk like Jesus in a culture that’s so acrimonious?
Recently Bill Maher was a guest of Ben Shapiro. Maher said “we just need to be nicer these days”
The only way you and I accomplish this is by being involved in the local church.
How do we find the correct balance in how we’re talking to one another?
From Tim Challies – We are a people who so often delight in being critical rather than encouraging.
We need people to hold our tongue accountable.
Segment 2
Bill Maher is encouraging the country to be nicer while at the same time doing the opposite.
Looking at Jesus – how would He speak today?
From Tim Challies speaking about being merciful.
There are times where we should show mercy. There are also times where we speak more direct and bold.
You and I should speak like Christ.But only when we look more like Christ.
Let your speech be season with salt. Don’t be quarrelsome. Be gentle. Be respectful. However, sometimes we see Jesus not being gentle. How do we reconcile that?
Segment 3
Can we practice what we just preached?
1 Timothy 6. We must speak the way Jesus did.
We see Jesus being severe, but we also see Him being loving and patient.
Grades PreK-3 in Florida blocked teachers from speaking to children about gender or sexuality.
Florida Democrats have condemned the bill calling it hateful.
Schools shouldn’t be teaching this stuff at any age.
How do you not get furious with this?
Segment 4
A challenging section of Scripture – Matthew 15 in the account of the Syrophoenician woman.
Some people say Jesus was being racist and even called this woman the B-word.
We see the disciples being the ones annoyed with the woman, but Jesus said “let her come.”
If Jesus were a racist or sexist, He would not have healed the woman’s daughter.
This is hermeneutics 101.
Dig into the Bible and the culture of the time and you will begin to see the Bible open up.
Jesus’ objection was not that the woman was a dog, but that His first mission was to the house of Israel.
There were people watching this. He was showing Himself to be the King.
Jesus could never and would never speak a nasty word. He would never tear someone down. That would be sin and Christ could not sin.
A reputation is a precious thing.

Let the politics begin.
We should always watch news and view politics with our Bibles open.
We should not read the book of Revelation with social media in our hand.
Case in point – Ben Shapiro, a brilliant political news source, but not a believer in Christ.

Is God hardening more hearts than ever?
Why can’t people explain the Gospel or Christianity correctly?
Ted Talk put together a description of the “Top 5 World Religions” and biffed the description of Christianity.
30% of self-proclaiming Christians do NOT believe Jesus is the exclusive, only way to the Father.
Segment 2
There are people who can get the Gospel, but don’t believe it. Then others who say they get it, but they don’t. Then you have people who get it, and they believe it and can articulate it.
Romans 1 describes our current culture.
How did Ted Talk do on the religion of Judaism? How did they do on the others?
Segment 3
Ted Talk presented the “Top 5 World Religions” and totally biffed Christianity and Judaism. However, they nailed their descriptions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam.
Why can’t the world have a better understanding of Christianity? Because they hate Him.
Listen to the descriptions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam and then compare it to Christianity.
Segment 4
Four people recently shared the same sermon by Pastor David Hegg from The Master’s Univeristy with Todd.
Hegg identifies a trend in evangelical Christianity that we need to get over really quick. He encouraged the students not to go to war with the world, but approach it winsomely.
We see so many Christians really ripping into people they disagree with politically and even theologically.
Why do we feel that this is behavior that is ok? The Lord’s bondservant must not be quarrelsome.
God has assigned us the responsibility of being His representative.
