    WHY CHARLIE KIRK WOULD WANT YOU TO RESPOND WITH GRACE, NOT HATE

    Segment 1: • Assassination of Charlie Kirk leaves us with hard questions: why and what now? • Exposes national fracture: free speech attacked, norms collapsing. • Beyond politics: a brother in Christ murdered, a soul lost reminds us of eternal stakes. Segment 2: • Response must be more than outrage—it must drive evangelism. • Politics shift when hearts are changed by Christ. • Five ways to engage: pray, organize, support, hold the rope, or go yourself. Segment 3: • Kids on campuses are detached from reality—spiritual soil is ready. • Pastors should address tragedies like this from the pulpit. • Reminder: persecution shouldn’t surprise us—Jesus warned it would come. Segment 4: • Hope in grief: Charlie is with Christ—happier than we can imagine. • Darkness is real, but the Gospel is the only cure. • Students: courageously hold to truth in classrooms and on campuses. ___ Thanks for listening!

    WHY OUR GOD IS STILL GOOD – EVEN AFTER UTTER TRAGEDY

    Segment 1: • A tragedy: Charlie Kirk’s murder forces us to wrestle with God’s sovereignty. • Why does a good God ordain evil acts? Four rules help us think rightly. • God is working out good, but we must guard against demanding to see it. Segment 2: • What God ordains is always good—even when we do not understand how it could be. • Wrestling with suffering? The problem is never God’s character, but our perspective. • Develop a robust theodicy—God ordains all, yet isn’t the sinner. Segment 3: • The assassination exposes the real crisis: the human heart, not politics. • Political divides weren’t always deadly—what changed? • The only way forward isn’t civility campaigns but the Gospel itself. Segment 4: • Should the murder reignite debate on the death penalty? • Taking a life is dehumanizing—Romans 1 on display. • If this tragedy grieves us, how much more does it grieve God? ___ Thanks for listening!

    GETTING CLEANED UP FOR HEAVEN? WHY WE DON’T NEED IMPROVEMENT – WE NEED TRANSFORMATION

    It’s Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is back on campus to engage students in conversations about life’s purpose, evolution versus creation, and the central message of Christianity. Segment 1: • Luke was raised Christian, but unsure if he’s good enough to go to heaven. • Believes Jesus died for his sins, but thinks he still has to “clean up” to be accepted. • Todd walks Luke through the Law and Gospel to clarify salvation is about forgiveness, not performance. Segment 2: • A mechanical engineering student is approached by Todd to discuss ultimate questions. • Rejects rigid religious structures, unsure whether Jesus is God or just a great prophet. • Believes morality is relative, but admits he’d be guilty before God on Judgment Day. Segment 3: • Our mechanical engineering student continues his conversation with Todd. • Realizes salvation isn’t about being “pretty good”—it's about repentance and trusting Christ fully. • Todd encourages him to flee to Christ to escape the coming judgment. Segment 4: • Todd’s final interaction of the day is with a young lady who grew up with a casual connection to Christianity and the church. • She has some Bible knowledge and answers Todd’s questions about being a good person very honestly. • She is challenged to examine if she truly know Christ as Todd explains the future judgment that awaits. ___ Thanks for listening!

    DIDN’T GET THE APOLOGY YOU WANTED? HERE’S WHY YOU STILL MUST FORGIVE

    Segment 1 • Forgiveness isn’t optional—even when repentance isn’t perfect. • Broken trust with family means hard, intentional work to rebuild it. • TRANSFORMED SEASON 4 sets the stage with practical application. Segment 2 • OnlyFans is exploding across college campuses—a tragic cultural trend. • Lecrae releases Reconstruction while flirting with deconstruction themes. • AI “truth” is shaky; apostasy and self-made “truths” define deconstruction. Segment 3 • Jimmy preaching on deconstruction at camp—Gen Z’s battlefront. • Even Sproul and MacArthur disagreed—unity is bigger than uniformity. • Don’t treat church like a product—show up to participate, not consume. Segment 4 • Jen Hatmaker admits she left the church, maybe for good. • Simply showing up to church encourages others more than you think. • Marriage isn’t about convenience—it’s a God-designed school of character. ___ Thanks for listening!
