Through vivid storytelling and heartfelt reflection, Philip Anthony Mitchell, pastor of 2819 Church in Atlanta, Contend is a prophetic wake-up call for the modern church, revealing the patterns of spiritual decay that have spread from the East to the West, threatening the vitality of faith in America today. With urgency and passion, Mitchell challenges believers to confront the apathy, idolatry, and distractions that have infiltrated the church, calling for a return to the fire and fervor of true discipleship.
Drawing from the powerful words of Jude, the biological brother of Jesus, Pastor Philip Anthony exhorts readers to rise up and fight for the faith that was handed down through the blood of the martyrs and the sacrifice of Christ. This is not a call to passive belief but to active engagement--both outwardly in a culture that mocks and opposes biblical truth, and inwardly in the personal battles that threaten to extinguish the flame of faith. Readers will be inspired to:
Rediscover the passion and purpose of their faith, leaving behind spiritual complacency and embracing a vibrant relationship with Christ. Stand firm on biblical truth in a society that increasingly opposes Christian values, without compromising love or grace. Find freedom from internal struggles of fear, shame, and unforgiveness that threaten to derail their spiritual journey. Disciple and prepare the next generation to stand strong when the world challenges their faith. Seek a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit, igniting a movement of repentance, renewal, and transformation in their life and church.
With the world in turmoil and the church slipping further into slumber, this book is a rallying cry for every believer to contend for the faith with courage, conviction, and humility. Each chapter closes with a "Takeaway Truth" and "Contender Challenge" for reflecting more deeply and activating one's faith with greater conviction. Whether battling cultural opposition or personal struggles, readers will come away feeling equipped and inspired to stand firm, battle boldly, and finish well.
"In Contend, our brother Philip Anthony Mitchell makes the good, right appeal to get you off the sidelines and into the very purpose of your existence. You have been uniquely wired by God and uniquely placed for this very reason. If your faith is boring to you, then there is something wrong with how you are seeing it! We have been designed for holiness, communion with God, and to contend for the Gospel in every place your foot touches. I’m praying that as you read or listen to this book, the Holy Spirit drops a match from heaven and puts fire in your bones!" - Matt Chandler
