So we're done talking about the essentials, what else is there to talk about? How about an entire episode on secondary issues! Do we focus too much on them?

This week's episode is a follow-up to last week, when we talked about the importance of understanding and sharing the gospel.

But befo…

Continuing on in our series on the core doctrines of Christianity, this week we're discussing the gospel.
