	<description><![CDATA[When faith feels swept up in the tide of Christian deconstruction, how can we stay anchored to Jesus instead of drifting away? In this message from Hebrews 2, Dr. Smith reveals four anchors that secure our souls: don’t drift, see Jesus, follow Jesus, and trust Jesus. Rather than dismantling the faith we barely understand, Hebrews invites us to step inside the beauty of Christ’s redeeming work. Jesus, our brother and trailblazer, enters our suffering, conquers death, and calls us family. These anchors will hold you steady when the waves of doubt rise.]]></description>

In this first message from Hold Fast, Dr. Jonathan Smith explores the growing wave of Christian deconstruction and why so many are struggling to keep faith amid disappointment, hypocrisy, and doubt. Hebrews 1–2 shows that truth isn’t an idea to debate but a Person who meets us in our suffering. Jesus, the radiance of God’s glory, invites us not to control or certainty but to trust and allegiance. When all else shakes, hold fast to Him.]]></description>
