Episode Why Can't We All Just Get Along? | Week 2
Someone once said that if it weren’t for people, life would be easy. But people are pretty much the whole point when it comes to God’s great love.

He then turns to apply his teaching to the practicality of how the first century church in Rome could get along with each other as followers of Christ. As we dig into Paul’s advice, we find principles that translate for how followers of Christ can get along with each other today with those inside and outside our faith communities.
