Contend Earnestly

Send us a text

In this powerful episode, we explore one of the most urgent and overlooked verses in the Bible—Jude 11. Jude issues three sobering warnings to believers by pointing to the lives of Cain, Balaam, and Korah—three men whose choices led to spiritual downfall and destruction.

Each of their stories reveals a unique trap still common today

• Cain was consumed by anger and resentment.
• Balaam was led astray by greed and unchecked desire.
• Korah rebelled against God’s order out of pride and self-promotion.

Together, these lives form a cautionary tale for anyone trying to follow Jesus in a world that pulls us in every direction. But Jude doesn’t just warn us—he calls us to contend earnestly for the faith. This episode is a challenge to examine our hearts, surrender our struggles, and cling more tightly to Christ.

Whether you're wrestling with anger, appetite, or pride—this conversation will help you recognize the battle and point you back to the One who holds you steady.
