Listen "Wretched Radio with Todd Friel - Witness Wednesday: An Agnostic Tests the Bible + A Hebrew Roots Believer Rejects ‘Easter’"

Episode Synopsis

It’s Witness Wednesday! A sharp history student, Cole, wrestles with the resurrection, truth, and his own conscience—then a Hebrew Roots believer named Carlos questions Easter, church tradition, and the name “Jesus.”
Segment 1
• A thoughtful agnostic history major explores the reliability of Scripture and the resurrection.
• Todd walks him through manuscript evidence and eyewitness testimony.
• Can Christianity stand the test of history?
Segment 2
• The conversation turns from intellect to conscience—lying, lust, blasphemy, and guilt before God.
• Justice and mercy collide at the cross as Todd explains how forgiveness is possible.
• Will Cole see his need for grace?
Segment 3
• The tension rises: evidence vs. surrender.
• Todd reminds Cole that the Christian faith is intellectual, but it’s not JUST intellectual.
• Todd urges Cole to respond before it’s too late.
Segment 4
• A self-described believer rejects “Easter,” insists on “Yeshua,” and blends Hebrew roots with Christian faith.
• Todd probes what’s behind the name debate and where saving faith truly rests.
• Can focusing on details make us miss the gospel itself?
