Leading The Way with Dr. Michael Youssef (Video)Embracing Your Mission for the Future | Embracing Your Mission: Embracing Your Mission for the Future (Part 1)In this urgent opening message, Dr. Michael Youssef issues a bold call to reclaim our God-ordained duty to raise the next generation in Biblical Truth. Drawing from Psalm 127, Dr. Youssef exposes the Marxist roots of today’s cultural deception and warns of the systematic targeting of family, faith, and identity. Children are not victims of culture—they are arrows meant to pierce darkness and advance the Kingdom of God. This episode calls parents, grandparents, and church leaders to train children not to conform to the world, but to stand as warriors of Truth—sharpened by Scripture, empowered by the Holy S...

Teaching from John 17, Dr. Youssef highlights three vital truths: Christ prays for His glorification, for the sanctification of His disciples, and for the unity of the Church. These are not mere theological concepts—they are promises rooted in the inerrant Word of God and fulfilled through the divine authority of Christ. As the world trembles with fear and falsehood, the true believer stands secure in Chri...
2025-12-2700 minLeading The Way with Dr. Michael Youssef (Video)The Little Town of Bethlehem | The Birthplace of Hope for the World: The Little Town of BethlehemPulling from both the Old and New Testament, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals why the Almighty God chose the humble town of Bethlehem—Bethlehem Ephrathah—as the birthplace of His Son. More than 700 years before Christ’s birth, the prophet Micah foretold the exact location, declaring that the Ruler of Israel would come forth “for Me”—God Himself (Micah 5:2). Dr. Youssef proclaims with authority that this was no accident. God bypassed the power of Rome, the intellect of Athens, and the religion of Jerusalem to send a clear message: the hope of the world is not found in human wisdom, government...
2025-12-2000 minLeading The Way with Dr. Michael Youssef (Video)Unrealistic Expectations | Hope That Will Not Disappoint: Unrealistic ExpectationsIn this bold and urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the spiritual danger of unrealistic expectations—those placed on relationships, careers, or even the Church itself. Such expectations, rooted in human desire rather than God’s Truth, lead only to disappointment and despair. But when a believer’s hope is anchored in the inerrant Word of God—as it was for Simeon in Luke 2—there is no room for disillusionment. God always fulfills His promises. Dr. Youssef calls every disciple of Jesus Christ to reject worldly comparisons, trust in the divine promises of Scripture, and live in daily expectation of Christ’...
2025-12-1328 minLeading The Way with Dr. Michael Youssef (Video)The Cure to Loneliness | The Loneliness of Isolation: The Cure to Loneliness (Part 5)In this final message of The Cure to Loneliness, Dr. Michael Youssef addresses the crushing weight of isolation—both forced and self-imposed. Teaching from Luke 8:43–48, he examines the story of the hemorrhaging woman who, for twelve long years, suffered in silence and shame. Her physical pain was great, but her spiritual and social isolation was far greater. Yet when she reached out in faith to touch the tassel of Jesus’ garment, He not only healed her body—He restored her soul. Dr. Youssef warns that many today hide behind masks of pride, shame, or fear, living cut off from Christ a...
2025-12-0628 minLeading The Way with Dr. Michael Youssef (Video)The Cure to Loneliness | The Loneliness of Sorrow and Stubbornness: The Cure to Loneliness (Part 4)In this fourth message of The Cure to Loneliness, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts two destructive forms of isolation—grief and pride. Teaching from John 11, he proclaims the Biblical cure for the crushing sorrow that follows loss: knowing Christ’s love, His presence, His empathy, His power to redeem pain, and His perfect will. Then, from Luke 15, in the parable of the prodigal son, Dr. Youssef exposes the soul-killing loneliness of stubbornness as seen in the older brother’s resentment. Though outwardly religious, his pride isolated him from the Father’s joy of his brother’s return. In both sorrow and self-r...
2025-11-2928 minLeading The Way with Dr. Michael Youssef (Video)The Cure to Loneliness | The Loneliness of Service and Self-Pity: The Cure to Loneliness (Part 3)In this third message from The Cure to Loneliness, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts two spiritual traps that isolate the believer: the loneliness of service and the loneliness of self-pity. Drawing from Numbers 11 and 1 Kings 19, Dr. Youssef exposes how godly leaders—like Moses and Elijah—faced deep despair not from failure, but from obedience. Leadership often means standing alone, misunderstood and criticized, even after great victories. Yet God never calls His servants to bear the burden alone. Dr. Youssef urgently warns that self-pity robs believers of perspective, patience, purpose, and fellowship. But the answer is not found in human solutions—it is...
2025-11-2228 minLeading The Way with Dr. Michael Youssef (Video)The Cure to Loneliness | The Loneliness of Sin and Suffering: The Cure to Loneliness (Part 2)In this sobering second message of The Cure to Loneliness, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes two of the most devastating forms of loneliness revealed in Scripture: the loneliness of sin, seen in the life of Cain, and the loneliness of suffering, experienced by Job. Drawing from Genesis 4 and Job 19, Dr. Youssef warns that unconfessed sin isolates the soul from God’s presence, while unrelenting pain can lead even the righteous to despair. Yet in both cases, the answer is the same—Jesus Christ. Only through repentance and full surrender to Christ can the believer overcome despair and receive healing. This mess...
2025-11-1525 minLeading The Way with Dr. Michael Youssef (Video)The Cure to Loneliness | The Only Cure for Loneliness: The Cure to Loneliness (Part 1)In this urgent and foundational message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts what he calls a modern-day “silent pandemic”—loneliness. Drawing from Psalm 102 and the biblical account of Adam and Eve, Dr. Youssef reveals that loneliness is not merely an emotional condition, but a deep spiritual crisis that began with humanity’s rebellion in the Garden of Eden. He distinguishes between loneliness and godly aloneness, showing that true fellowship begins with restored relationship with Christ. The root causes—sin, guilt, fear, rejection—can only be healed through repentance and the inner healing work of the Holy Spirit. The message is clear: Only Jesus C...

Preaching from Psalm 119:9-16, Dr. Youssef declares that nothing but full submission to Scripture will cleanse, control, and correct the believer’s life. He warns against worldly advice and shallow spiritual shortcuts, affirming that the only path to lasting joy and purity is by treasuring and applying the Word of God. With clarity and urgency, he calls every follower of Christ—young or old—to prove the Truth of Scripture daily, rejecting sin an...

With unwavering commitment to God’s Word, he warns that Hell is a place of eternal torment, darkness, and isolation—designed for Satan, but chosen by those who reject Christ. Drawing from the words of Jesus in Matthew, Luke, and Revelation, Dr. Youssef exposes the lies of cultural Christianity and calls for true repentance. Yet, he also points to the believer’s eternal hope: a real place called Heaven, where we will see Christ face-to-face, worship without end, and rest f...

With bold clarity, he teaches that this God-given armor is not optional—it is essential for surviving the daily attacks of the enemy. From the belt of truth to the breastplate of righteousness and the sword of the Spirit, every piece is grounded in the inerrant Word of God and points to Christ’s victory. Dr. Youssef warns against the lies of Satan, the deceit of false teachers, and the weakness of self-righteousness. Only those clothed in Christ’s righteousness, standing on Biblic...

From Matthew 4, Dr. Youssef boldly reveals how Jesus overcame Satan’s threefold attack—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—not by reasoning, but by declaring the unchanging Word of God. With urgency, Dr. Youssef warns that Satan still uses these same tactics today, luring believers to seek shortcuts, feed their egos, or abandon obedience for comfort. But Christ’s victory is our model and strength. We are called to stay ale...

Drawing from 1 Peter 5:8–9, he warns that the devil prowls like a roaring lion, seeking to destroy those who are spiritually drowsy and disobedient. Dr. Youssef exposes how sin dulls our spiritual senses and invites attack, but also proclaims the unbreakable security of those who are truly in Christ. With boldness and clarity, he shows that repentance, obedience, and dependence on the Holy Spirit are the keys to resisting the enemy. This episode aligns with th...

Drawing from Psalm 91 and Ephesians 6, Dr. Youssef affirms the Biblical Truth that God commands countless angels to guard His people—but also warns that Satan has imitated God’s order, deploying a four-tiered army of demons to war against the saints. With urgency and clarity, Dr. Youssef reminds us that Satan’s deception is relentless and that only those filled with the Holy Spirit and armed with Scripture will stand firm. Believer...

Drawing from Acts 20, he warns of “fierce wolves” rising from within—twisting Truth and leading many astray. With urgent clarity, Dr. Youssef reminds us that the devil’s lies are not new—they are the same falsehoods used in the Garden of Eden, now dressed in modern disguise. The believer’s call is not only to repent and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ but to guard the doors of the soul from demonic entry—anger, fear, lust, pride. This me...

Preaching from John 9, he exposes the false belief that all suffering is caused by personal sin, declaring instead the sovereign purpose of God in human suffering—to display His glory. Jesus’ healing of the man born blind is not just a miracle—it is divine proof that He is God in the flesh. Only Yahweh gives sight to the blind.

Yet Jesus, with divine power, multiplied five loaves and two fish to feed thousands—displaying His authority as Creator and Messiah. He did not perform signs to entertain, but to demand faith, repentance, and surrender. This miraculous sign confronts us today: Do we come to Christ for who He is, or only...

Yet healing came only when the man obeyed Christ’s command to rise, carry his mat, and walk. Dr. Youssef powerfully teaches that Jesus demands full surrender, not half-hearted desire. Many say they want healing, but refuse the change it requires. Jesus, the exclusive Savior, still asks today: Will you...

When a desperate nobleman pleads for his son’s healing, Jesus offers more than physical restoration—He calls the man to deeper trust. Instead of rushing to Capernaum, Jesus simply declares, “Your son lives”—and the man believes. Through this encounter, Dr. Youssef powerfully proclaims that God desires more than our cries for help; He desires steadfast, unshakable faith in who He is. Christ’s miracles are not for spectacle—they are signs poin...

Far more than a mere act of kindness, this supernatural sign (or simeon) proves Jesus is not just a teacher or prophet, but the sovereign Lord over nature itself. Dr. Youssef unpacks the cultural weight of this moment, showing how Jesus rescued a family from generational shame—symbolizing how He alone saves us from eternal disgrace. This miracle marks the beginning of Christ’s public...
