    SHOULD YOU EVANGELIZE ROMAN CATHOLICS OR PARTNER WITH THEM?

    Segment 1 • Why aren’t all your YouTube videos on Fortis+? • How can I stay informed on global Christian news and pray for the church more specifically? • Should Protestants evangelize Roman Catholics, or partner with them? • What’s the right approach if my pastor preaches something unbiblical? Segment 2 • My parents want to bury me in their family plot, but my husband wants us buried with his. How do I navigate this? Segment 3 • My sons and I are learning how to resolve conflict biblically through “Drive By Marriage”—but what does it actually look like to “take an argument to the cross” ? • I’ve tried everything to make Christian friends, but haven’t had much luck. What do I do? Segment 4 • Someone I know rejects penal substitution - is that heretical? • What’s your take on Pastor Mike Todd’s ministry and theology? ___ Thanks for listening!

    قبل يومين

    THESE STUDENTS HAVE A BIG PROBLEM – BUT DO THEY WANT TO HEAR THE SOLUTION?

    It’s Witness Wednesday! In today’s episode, Todd Friel engages in meaningful conversations with several university students. First up is Cole, a pro-lifer who isn’t a believer. Later, Todd speaks with agnostic Moira, discussing God’s existence and Moira's personal experiences with Christianity. Todd continually points the students back to the ultimate hope that we are called to share - the gospel of grace through God’s Son. Segment 1 • Cole intrigued by Christianity but skeptical of its claims. • Todd shifts focus from crusades to Cole’s personal sin problem. • God’s holiness vs. human sinfulness is the real crisis. Segment 2 – Cole (part 2) • Cole wrestles with the Trinity and Jesus’ dual nature. • Todd explains how only God-in-flesh could be a worthy substitute. • Salvation is central—Father sends, Son saves, Spirit convicts. Segment 3 • Agnostic Moira shares what she knows about Easter. • She only believes what she can see, and doesn’t personally see the importance of faith. • Moira has been put off from Christianity by bad personal experiences. Segment 4 • Todd holds Moira to account against God’s commandments. • She admits guilt when confronted with God’s commands. • Todd explains Easter: Jesus’ death and resurrection solves our sin and shame problem. ___ Thanks for listening!

  4. REVIVAL OR REFORMATION? HOW TO SEE LASTING CHANGE FOR OUR COUNTRY

    قبل ٣ أيام

    REVIVAL OR REFORMATION? HOW TO SEE LASTING CHANGE FOR OUR COUNTRY

    Segment 1 • Charlie Kirk memorial created a “cultural moment” and Christian revival. • Revival sparks emotion, but true reformation requires Scripture and discipleship. • Gospel must remain central—don’t swap truth for politics or feelings. Segment 2 • True reformation is built on ordinary means: Word, prayer, sacraments, discipleship. • Local churches—not viral events—grow Christians for the long haul. • Fearless discipleship starts at the kitchen table and in the pew, not in stadiums. Segment 3 • Bishop sells $13M condo funded by the poor vs. Canada’s euthanasia surge. • 1 in 20 deaths in Canada now comes from “assisted dying.” • Both stories reveal comfort over sacrifice—but Christ calls us to self-denial. Segment 4 • Catholic sex abuse scandal: $230M settlement, 500+ victims in one diocese. • Quebec bans public prayer—secularism legislated into daily life. • Taliban’s rules leave Afghan women to die—contrasted with Jesus’ radical dignity toward women at the cross. ___ Thanks for listening!

    قبل ٤ أيام

    HOW GOD USED CHARLIE KIRK’S MEMORIAL FOR GLORY AND THE GOSPEL

    Segment 1 • Charlie Kirk’s memorial pleasantly shocked man who heard hours of Christ-exalting preaching. • Sin, repentance, and the gospel were actually spoken from the stage. • Rob McCoy set the tone: the guest of honor was the King of kings. Segment 2 • Frank Turek gave a bold, gospel-centered proclamation—Charlie is in heaven only because of Christ’s sacrifice. • Even political figures like Marco Rubio clearly pointed people to Jesus. • Memorial wasn’t just about Charlie—it was about the Savior he served. Segment 3 • Tucker Carlson showed genuine hunger for Christianity but mixed in politics that need clarity. • He highlighted that repentance, not politics, is the starting point for answers. • Other high-profile voices (RFK Jr., Donald Trump Jr.) also mentioned Jesus, surprising many. Segment 4 • The widow Erika Kirk delivered the most Christ-saturated message of all. • Her words cut deep: “Charlie wanted to do God’s will” and “Choose Christ above all.” • She even extended forgiveness to the man who killed her husband—radical love on display. ___ Thanks for listening!

  7. SILENCE ON IMPORTANT ISSUES – AND WHEN YOU SHOULD FIND A NEW CHURCH

    ١٨ سبتمبر

    SILENCE ON IMPORTANT ISSUES – AND WHEN YOU SHOULD FIND A NEW CHURCH

    Segment 1 • Outrage over pastors not mentioning Charlie Kirk mirrors COVID-era tensions. • Many left churches not over safety policies—but over refusal to address political topics. • The question: Does ignoring key cultural moments mean pastoral failure? Segment 2 • Five filters to think through before leaving: church view, preaching style, theology, shepherding, and courage. • Faithful pastors may not pause expository preaching for politics—and that may be OK. • Slow down: don’t make a lifelong church decision based on one Sunday. Segment 3 • Resisting the urge to rage-scroll—this issue needs wisdom, not hot takes. • Phil Johnson reminds us: Don’t tear apart the body over one moment. • Instead of bolting, go talk to your pastor face-to-face. Segment 4 • Pastors can address events while keeping Christ central. • Options: comment before/after sermons or hold a separate gathering. • Don’t make fast exits—make slow, prayerful decisions rooted in love. ___ Thanks for listening!

  8. IS HELL JUST FOR THE “BAD GUYS”? ROMAN CATHOLIC CONFRONTED WITH BIBLICAL TRUTH

    ١٧ سبتمبر

    IS HELL JUST FOR THE “BAD GUYS”? ROMAN CATHOLIC CONFRONTED WITH BIBLICAL TRUTH

    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. ___ Thanks for listening!
