When Jesus rebuked the disciples for having “little faith” in Matthew 8, He was not speaking of saving faith—He was addressing the practical, daily faith needed to trust Him in the middle of a storm. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that when intimacy with God weakens, fear and panic can quickly take over. Fear-conquering faith requires absolute trust in God's sovereignty. It is the kind of faith that depends on Him completely, receives what He provides with an open heart, and believes He is working out His purposes even when the storm is raging. Romans 8:28 assures us that God works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Dr. Youssef challenges a common contradiction in the Christian life: we trust God with our eternal souls, yet often hesitate to trust Him with our daily needs. God wants our professed faith to become lived faith—faith that trusts Him with relationships, resources, decisions, fears, and the future. When you walk closely with God and seek Him in prayer at the first sign of fear, your focus shifts from the storm to the Savior. And as your focus remains on Him, fear begins to fade into the background. Prayer: God, I trust You with my salvation, but sometimes I struggle with trusting You with the details of my life. Strengthen my daily living faith so that my trust in You is greater than my fears. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?” (Matthew 6:30).

Can a Christian know with certainty that they are saved?In this encouraging message from 1 John 4, Pastor Adam Neil examines four biblical evidences of genuine salvation. If you've ever struggled with doubt, questioned your faith, or wondered if you're really abiding in Christ, this sermon offers clarity straight from Scripture.John's message is surprisingly simple:• Is God's love growing in you?• Is the Holy Spirit working in your life?• Do you believe the testimony of Jesus Christ?• Do you confess that Jesus is Lord?Then take heart. God's Word provides assurance for believers.
“Have faith in yourself.” “Have faith in the system.” “Just believe.” In today's world, faith often means optimism or manifestation—but Scripture defines faith very differently. In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef clears away the confusion with two essential truths. First, there is no power in faith by itself. Faith isn't a force; the object of faith is what gives it weight. If your faith is anchored in the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone, then you stand on unshakable ground—because Christ is powerful, victorious, and trustworthy. Second, faith is not the same as feelings. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as confidence and assurance—not emotional certainty. Faith says, “God said it. I believe it. That settles it.” And to keep us from boasting in our “strong faith,” Dr. Youssef points to the deeper foundation beneath it all: even faith is God's gift. By grace, God raises believers up with Christ and saves them through faith—not by works—so all glory belongs to Jesus alone (Ephesians 2:6–9). Prayer: Father, You are the object of my faith. I rejoice knowing that my faith is not in vain because my faith is in You alone and not based on how I feel. You are always faithful and what You say will come to pass. I trust in Your Word and sovereign love. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).

As we conclude this series on Daniel's effective prayers, Dr. Michael Youssef brings the focus to two essentials many believers overlook: knowing God's Word and responding in obedience. How can you be confident you're praying God's will—and not simply your own desires? Jesus gives the priority: seek first God's Kingdom, and trust Him to provide what you need (Matthew 6:25–33). Dr. Youssef explains that the pathway to will-aligned prayer is immersion in Scripture: the more you know the mind of God, the more your requests begin to reflect His purposes. As you pray specifically, you learn to check those requests against God's Word—because God will never lead you to pray against what He has already revealed. This devotional also pulls together the pattern we've seen in Daniel: Praise that magnifies God, Confession that stays honest and humble, Petition that asks God to act for His glory, and then a crucial final step: listen and obey. God often accomplishes His purposes through individual believers who are willing to move from prayer into faithful action. If you've felt weary in prayer or tempted to give up, Dr. Youssef anchors you with a promise of perseverance: don't quit—God's harvest comes at the proper time (Galatians 6:9). Keep praying, keep obeying, and keep trusting God's timing. Prayer: Father, help me spend more time in Your Word so that I will be better equipped to pray Your will. Help me respond in obedience when I sense You leading me to do something. And help me not give up! I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands” (Psalm 119:60). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

In this episode Pastor Raef reviews a wonderful book by Gary Habermaus and Michael Licona called The Case for the Resurrection, in which they walk through five major lines of evidence, agreed to by Christian and non-Christian scholar alike, that demonstrates the historic reliability of the claim that Jesus rose from the grave.
Blessed Triduum, friends. To ring in Holy Week and soon the Easter season philosopher and theologian Dr. Trent Dougherty is here to make the case that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a matter of faith it's historically defensible. Using the "Three E's" framework (Empty Tomb, Eyewitnesses, and Early Creeds), he walks through why secular scholars and believers alike have strong rational grounds for concluding that the Resurrection actually happened.

In Her Image: Finding Heavenly Mother in Scripture, Scholarship, the Arts, & Everyday Life
In this episode, we explore the anciently known figure of Heavenly Mother, her significance in scripture, and the historical context surrounding her representation in early Christianity. The discussion delves into the role of Wisdom as the Holy Spirit, the impact of apostasy on the understanding of the divine feminine, and how restoration scriptures shed light on these themes. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing Heavenly Mother in modern spirituality and the unique perspective of Latter-day Saints on gender and divinity.Visit https://www.motherinheaven.com/ to find Sherri and Victor's book, Heavenly Mother: An Initial Compendium of Echoes and Evidences, watch the video series "Heavenly Mother through the Ages", and learn more about their work.

Fr. Matthias Shehad begins a series on the Harmony of the Gospels, exploring the chronological presentation of the four evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—and their unique perspectives. He explains the symbolism of the four creatures associated with the gospels and links them to the distinct themes each evangelist emphasizes, such as Christ's humanity, divinity, sacrifice, and authority. Fr. Matthias outlines the four major covenants in Scripture as a framework for understanding the gospels' significance. He discusses the external and internal evidence supporting the authenticity and canonicity of the four accepted gospels amid early church history, addressing objections and false gospels. The talk covers the evangelists' sources, including eyewitness testimony and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and highlights the disciples' skepticism as a sign of the gospels' credibility. This introduction sets the stage for a detailed study of the gospel texts in future sessions.

Acts 9:32-43 demonstrates that the gospel works through us when we prioritize being present with people in their suffering, as Peter traveled strengthening believers before any miracles occurred. The transformation of Lydda and Sharon after Aeneas's healing, and Joppa after Dorcas's resurrection, shows that God uses individual encounters to spark community-wide movements. Peter staying with Simon the tanner—considered unclean by Jews—reveals another evidence: the gospel breaks down barriers we've built between ourselves and those God wants to reach.

What shall we now say? Do we think that God hath forgiveness only for this or that individual person? No man questions but that all these were pardoned. Was it by virtue of any especial personal privilege that was peculiar unto them? Whence should any such privilege arise, seeing by nature they were no better than others, nor would have been so personally had not they been delivered from sin, and prepared for obedience by grace, mercy, and pardon? Wherefore, they all obtained forgiveness by virtue of the covenant, from the forgiveness which is with God.

This Sunday, Pastor Jeff Sparkman preaches on evidences for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus are the most important events in all the world; it changed everything! What proof do we have that Jesus rose from the dead? Is our faith grounded in reason and evidence or do we need to check our brains at the door? We can have great confidence that Jesus really did rise from the dead.

Pastor Jack and Frank Turek explore a compelling point: for Christianity to be true, only two key facts need to be established. First, that God exists and, second, that Jesus rose from the dead. If these two claims hold up, then the truth of Scripture and the core of the Christian faith naturally follow.

The efficacy of all other calls of God unto repentance depends much on the application of them unto the souls and consciences of men in the preaching of the word. But whilst by some this work is despised, at least counted unnecessary; by some it is neglected utterly; and others, by reason of their private capacities, whereby they are disenabled to speak unto magistrates, cities, or the community of the people, think not themselves concerned therein—it is almost wholly laid aside. For what, will some say, doth this speaking unto a few in a retirement signify, as unto a general reformation of the people of the land? But whereas we have all sinned in our measures—churches, and all sorts of more strict professors of religion—it is every one's duty to be pressing these warnings of God within his own bounds and precincts.
