It’s Witness Wednesday!

Todd Friel is back on campus to talk with students about their views on human value, morality, and faith.

Segment 1:

• Student starts with utilitarian ethics—humans are more valuable than dogs due to societal contribution.

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

• Gives a clear, gospel-rich answer: “Believe on Jesus’ name—He gave me life.”

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.

Segment 3:

• Would you save a dog or a human—answers rooted in moral relativism, not absolute value.

• “Are you a good person?” sparks confusion: some say yes, others define good as “when I need to be.”

• Beliefs about the afterlife range from agnostic to cabalistic “spirit-unity-God.”

Segment 4:

• Final student values “potential” over intrinsic worth—would save schoolkids over a best friend.

• In a dying man scenario, offers vague comfort: “Ask for forgiveness… from whoever that is for you.”

• Todd closes with urgent exhortation: Know the gospel. Articulate the gospel. Teach the gospel.
