Summary

Things like denominations, rules, and regulations assigned to a group of believers can often complicate the ultimate message Jesus shared with His followers. That is Love, the first and most important message, and what's needed to bind all Christ followers together. Pastor Joshua Gagnon joins the show once again to talk about how the message of Christianity is often made too complicated. He's also the author of the book we've addressed in past shows, "It's Not Over: Leaving Behind Disappointment and Learning to Dream Again."
