In this urgent opening to Encountering Christ, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals the devastating grip of sexual sin and addiction in today’s culture, likening it to a tidal wave of destruction. Yet he proclaims the eternal hope found in Christ’s redeeming power. Drawing from John 4, Dr. Youssef presents the radical encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman—a despised outcast imprisoned by shame and sin. Her story is not ancient history but a modern call to repentance, revealing how Christ alone can break the chains of bondage. This episode calls every listener to confront sin, trust the inerrant Word of God, and intercede for a world enslaved by counterfeit intimacy. Only Jesus offers living water—and He offers it today.
