What does Hebrews say about distractions in faith?

The book of Hebrews addresses how distractions and temptations, especially during difficult times, can lead to spiritual dullness. The writer notes that the original audience was facing persecution, which caused them to become lethargic in their faith and understanding (Hebrews 5:11-14). Believers are encouraged to overcome distractions by focusing on the truths of Christ and moving beyond elementary teachings to understand richer truths about their faith, ultimately leading to spiritual growth.
