HOW THIS ISSUE COULD LEAD TO THE DOWNFALL OF THE SBC!
Segment 1:
• SBC fails (again) to pass the Law Amendment affirming only qualified men as pastors.
• Historical cracks in this area have led entire denominations astray—are we next?
• “Affirming but not affirming” language is the same tactic used in gender debates.
Segment 2:
• If churches are being disfellowshipped for female pastors, why not codify the standard?
• Fear of man, cultural compromise, or fear of shrinking numbers?
• SBC votes to keep the ERLC—why are we funding institutions that reflect the culture more than Christ?
Segment 3:
• Newsboys singer admits years of sinful living—how should Christians respond?
• Discernment needed: are we gossiping or redeeming?
• Real repentance or damage control? How we judge reveals more about us than them.
Segment 4:
• Can someone live in unrepentant sin for 20 years and still be a believer?
• The key question isn’t “when were you saved?” but “are you saved right now?”
• Deception is powerful—and the local church is the safeguard God provides.

THE GOSPEL VS. YOUR CONSCIENCE—WHICH ONE WINS?
It’s Witness Wednesday!
Todd Friel is back on campus at Georgia Tech. His discussions revolve around topics such as religion, atheism, the existence of God, evolution, personal beliefs, and moral judgment under the Christian framework. Todd uses various analogies and biblical references to argue for Christianity while addressing the contrasting views on religion and science held by the students.
Segment 1:
• Former Methodist student wrestles with whether belief itself—regardless of truth—has any value.
• Agrees that justice requires judgment but hesitates to apply it to himself.
• Gets walked through conscience-based questions and admits he’d be found guilty—yet clings to a vague hope in divine leniency.
Segment 2:
• Student hears a crystal-clear gospel: forgiveness comes only through Christ, not good behavior.
• Initially says he agrees with “parts” of Christianity—until pressed on why he’s never trusted Jesus.
• The sticking point? He prefers sin over surrender and doesn’t want a God who tells him how to live.
Segment 3:
• Breakdancer and self-described atheist challenges the idea of creation with science-based objections.
• Admits to lying, stealing, lusting, and using God’s name in vain—but still thinks deep down he’s a good guy.
• The gospel is presented as the only solution to his guilt, yet he dismisses it as someone else’s belief system.
Segment 4:
• Final student is told, point-blank: if God is just, you're in big trouble.
• Still insists he’s “a good person deep down,” despite confessing to fornication, blasphemy, and more.
• Hears the full gospel and acknowledges its power—but ultimately says it doesn’t align with his logic or desires.

HOW TO STAND FIRM IN A CULTURE LOSING ITS MIND

Segment 2
• Emergency contraception at gas stations and cannabis replacing alcohol—what could go wrong?
• Porn companies block France over age laws—are they protecting kids or profits?
• Cultural boundaries are evaporating. Are you ready to raise your kids in this world?
Segment 3
• Preaching isn’t just explaining—it’s exalting Christ with urgency and clarity.
• Many pulpits today sound more like seminary lectures than soul-stirring sermons.
• Want transformation, not just information? The Bible must be preached with purpose.
Segment 4
