FROM DEATH ROW TO LIFE: WHY JUSTICE MATTERS FOR THE IMAGE OF GOD

Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

Segment 1:

• Too Exclusive for Christmas? The Church of England now discourages hymns that reference Jesus as Messiah.

• Specific Hymns Targeted: O Come, O Come Emmanuel and Once in Royal David’s City are considered problematic.

• The Bigger Issue: If core Christian hymns aren’t inclusive enough, where does the church go next?

Segment 2: • Holding Onto Tradition: The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols remains a Christmas staple for many believers.

• The Mary Focus: An increasing emphasis on Mary has been happening for decades, shifting theological emphasis.

• Calvin Robinson’s Shift: The well-known Anglican figure is now in the U.S.—and Catholic.

Segment 3:

• Why People Are Leaving: Many are abandoning seeker-sensitive churches for liturgical, tradition-heavy faiths.

• A Lesson for Evangelicals: People are tired of shallow entertainment in churches and are looking for deeper theology.

• Podcast Success: New Fortis Podcasts are ranking in the top 10% worldwide—proof people crave solid teaching.

Segment 4:

• Anglican Catholics Resemble Rome: Their statement of faith reveals significant Catholic influence.

• Presidential Decision: Nearly every death row inmate’s sentence is commuted to life without parole.

• Biblical Justice Matters: Murder earns the wage of death, and minimizing justice diminishes the value of human life made in God’s image.
