In this powerful episode, Pastor Chet tackles one of Christianity's most challenging realities: why there are over 40,000 different denominations when Jesus prayed for unity among believers. Drawing from extensive church history research, he explores the difference between destructive conflict and fighting the good fight of faith.

🔥 Pastor Chet reveals how church divisions throughout history - from the Eastern and Western church split to modern disagreements (including churches that actually divided over whether Adam had a belly button!) - teach us when conflict strengthens faith versus when it becomes sinfully divisive.

📖 This message examines Paul's confrontation with Peter in Galatians and Jude's instruction to "contend for the faith," showing believers how to stand for biblical truth while maintaining Christian love. Pastor Chet distinguishes between foolish arguments that waste energy and the "good fight" that honors God and advances His kingdom.

📌 If you're struggling with disagreements in your church community or wondering how to defend your faith without causing division, this episode provides biblical wisdom for navigating conflict in a way that glorifies Christ and preserves the unity He desires for His people.
