Sermon Recap
When the ground shifts under your feet, what do you hold onto? In this opening message of “Hold Fast,” Dr. Jonathan Smith addresses the rise of Christian deconstruction with honesty and pastoral care. He names the wounds that drive doubt, shows how Scripture dignifies our questions, and warns against control, certainty-idolatry, and turning truth into a commodity. From Hebrews 1–2, we discover truth is not a concept but a Person—Jesus—who reigns in glory and meets us in suffering. If your faith feels fragile, this episode invites you to grip Christ, not just ideas about Him.
