Jude gave a charge to a generation in danger. Contend for the faith. 2,000 years later, that charge is yours.

The book calls us to contend on two fronts — one external in the culture, the other personally within you.

The second is Jude's letter. Read carefully. For the first time. By people ready to hear what it says. You were delivered something. Stand on it. Live for it. Contend for it.

Contending is not just being loud, but also faithful.

The call to follow Christ was never a call to passive belief. Every believer must decide whether they will drift with the culture or stand firm in the faith. Contend isn't a book for spectators.

Philip came to faith on a bathroom floor in November 2003 — in a moment of contemplating suicide.

What he's built since wasn't theoretical, and it didn't survive intact. The depression. The ministry that almost didn't make it. The Sunday he stood in front of empty seats and nearly quit.

He preaches what he's lived. He refuses to soften what saved him.

Contend is what he learned in those rooms. The book he needed in the dark — and the book he wrote for the believer ready to stand. He pastors 2819 Church.

Contend Gathering

One Sunday. One Book. One Message.

After Contend releases, pastors across the nation can preach on Jude 1:3 and recommend the book to their congregations. Synchronized conviction. Communal movement.

If you lead a church, ministry, or small group, you're invited.

The Contend Cohort

Deep training. Built for You. Begins January 25, 2027.

After the book lands, the work begins. The Contend Cohort is a six-month intensive built for the people who don't want to put the book down when they finish. A working cohort for pastors, leaders, parents, professionals, builders — the Frustrated Faithful who refuse to drift.

Tier 2 + Tier 3 pre-order purchasers already have skip-the-line application access. Public applications open January 8, 2027. The cohort begins January 25, 2027.
