Religion
He follows the Way of Jesus who is the Way of Truth, the Way of Life, and the only Way to the Father. He believes that no denomination or branch of Christianity is 100% correct nor 100% wrong (excluding the cults of Christianity). He has found that the early church fell between Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, and Orthodoxy with certain practices falling closer to Protestantism, some closer to Roman Catholicism, and some closer to Orthodoxy. As a result he calls for unity in the Church of all believers in Christ Jesus without calling for each branch and denomination to conform to each other.

Views
