Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack hosts a powerful message from Pastor Nick, Johnstown Campus Pastor at Shepherd Church of the Nazarene.

We begin a journey through Galatians chapter 1, where the Apostle Paul writes with urgency, passion, and deep pastoral concern. Paul reminds the early church—and us today—that the gospel is not Jesus plus rules, Jesus plus performance, or Jesus plus works.👉 The true gospel is Jesus + nothing.In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why Paul was so alarmed by distorted teaching
• What happens when we add anything to the gospel
• How grace alone saves us
• Why the gospel must be protected and cherished
