Don Hutchinson, a Canadian legal expert and former legal council for the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, describes the implications of the new conversion therapy ban on Canadians and Christians.

We’ll discuss how we can remind ourselves while showing others, that Christmas is all about Immanuel, God being with us.
