ANECDOTE

Philosophy Class Turned Gospel Opportunity

  • Todd Friel recounts being invited to a university philosophy class and choosing to preach the gospel instead of debating culture.
  • Several students responded, some came to church, and a few professed faith after extended conversations in the hallway.
INSIGHT

Kant's Role In Modern Individualism

  • Todd Friel traces modern expressive individualism back to Immanuel Kant's claim that minds impose concepts on raw data.
  • That shift seeded today's focus on living one's own truth and autonomous moral reasoning.
ADVICE

Prioritize Proclaiming The Gospel

  • Preach the gospel as the central strategy when engaging campuses and culture instead of getting lost in philosophical debates.
  • Trust the message of Christ crucified to transform minds rather than relying on human wisdom.
