Contend

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.
