WHEN TRUTH OFFENDS: WHY LOVE STILL SAYS IT ANYWAY

  • Resumen

  • 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.” • Despite doctrinal concerns, the young men are earnest, devoted, and open to friendly dialogue—even swapping gospel DVDs. ___ Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme ___ Thanks for listening!
