Hebrews, James, Jude and 2 Peter address communities facing weariness, distortion of belief, and ethical compromise, offering robust theological resources for perseverance. Together they present faith as resilient, embodied, and resistant to both despair and domination. Through close reading and theological reflection, the day invites participants to hear these texts as voices of encouragement, warning, and hope for communities seeking faithful discipleship today.
