Product placement

(a) Contend (book) ACTS: the creator holds it, flips through its pages to show the content, and explicitly recommends it as a resource for spiritual growth. Removing the book would remove the entire subject of the video.

I'm gonna put the link right down here.

On-screen text

A book so good that I had to get to. this is the new book by Philip Anthony Mitchell called contend. In this book, he unpacks Jude's urgent letter and scripture. Countless believers sit on the sidelines, assuming they have another day to get serious about faith. But the days of casual Christianity are running out. This book is about fighting for faith externally in society as well as internally in the private places of your heart. NOW THE QUESTION IS WHETHER YOU'RE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Both matter. Both require something of you. And the same Christ who saved you also equipped you to battle. The question isn't whether the faith is worth fighting for. Question is whether you will contend. You are part of God's big plan for this moment in history. I'm gonna put the link right down here.
