  • Witness Wednesday! Choosing Sin on Purpose: The Conversation You’ll Never Forget
    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!

  • AI “Worship”: Should We Sing Praise Songs That Are Computer-Generated?
    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!

  • Merry Christmas? What Christians Get Wrong About Christmas Culture Wars
    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 2 • Forcing companies to say “Merry Christmas” won’t save anyone. • Secular businesses aren’t the mission field — people are. • Shaming culture won’t convert souls; the gospel will. 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!

  • Guest Host John Crotts: The One Bible Habit That Will Change Everything
    Segment 1 • John Crotts is our guest host today! • Political insanity? Scripture anchors you when politics and chaos can’t. • Underfed Christians are easy targets for deception. Segment 2 • God’s Word informs — and it gives joy, strengthens resolve, and imparts wisdom you can’t buy. • The secret is consistency: one Bible, one place, one plan, every day. • Our spiritual growth compounds from daily Scripture exposure. Segment 3 • Knowing the Bible is about transformation, not just information. • Reading scripture in context is what gives us true understanding. • Your faith grows faster when you see the comprehensive story of the entire Bible. Segment 4 • Scripture comes alive when you learn historical and cultural context. • Study tools aren’t cheating; they’re strength training for your faith. • The more Bible you know, the more useful you become to Christ and others. ___ Thanks for listening!
