In this episode of Wretched Radio, host Todd Friel visits Georgia Tech for Witness Wednesday. The episode begins with Todd discussing the trend of promoting 'Jesus without religion' on campus. He then engages in a series of street interviews with students, exploring their thoughts on God, faith, and religion.

Later, Todd talks to Eric, a 23-year-old student researching motorcycle engines, about the afterlife and moral standards. Eric describes his upbringing in a Southern Baptist and Catholic family but identifies as non-religious. The conversation explores the implications of sin and divine justice. Todd also briefly interacts with a fraternity member and another student, revisiting a previous discussion about the authenticity of religious experiences.
