About this Episode
It’s Witness Wednesday! Suicide is rising. Purpose feels fragile. Three students—Fevin, Jacob, and Brennan—wrestle with identity, guilt, and what it means to be born again. These conversations press one urgent question: do you need better coping—or a Savior?
Segment 1 — Fevin
• A student who’s faced depression shares what helped her find stability.
• She connects suicide to identity, guilt, and isolation on campus.
• Todd presses deeper: is peace found in purpose…or in something greater?
Segment 2 — Jacob (Part 1)
• Jacob wears a cross and identifies as Christian, but struggles to articulate salvation and the gospel.
• Todd asks questions that expose what “belief” really means. • Jacob admits he isn’t certain he’s born again.
Segment 3 — Jacob (Part 2)
• Jacob wrestles with the weight of repentance and trust in Christ.
• Todd points to the heart of real faith — and what must change for it to be genuine.
• Jacob is left with a question only he can answer.
Segment 4 — Brennan
• A Catholic student confident in his faith—until the questions go deeper.
• Todd challenges his assumptions about guilt, grace, and the meaning of the cross.
• Brennan’s conversation ends with an invitation he can’t ignore.
