MY Devotional: Daily Encouragement from Leading The Way

Spiritual growth often comes with pain—which is why many of us instinctively avoid it. Yet James gives a surprising command: consider trials “pure joy” because God uses them to test faith, produce perseverance, and form maturity that lacks nothing (James 1:2–4). In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that biblical joy is different from worldly happiness: it can exist inside suffering, not just after it. You'll also hear how the apostle Paul learned the secret of joy under pressure. Paul endured criticism, imprisonment, and life-threatening danger—but he kept his eyes fixed on Christ rather than his circumstances. When Paul's situation in Jerusalem became so volatile the Romans had to shelter him in the barracks, the Lord personally strengthened him with a direct word: “Take courage!” (Acts 23:11). Dr. Youssef reminds you that God's encouragement to Paul is meant for believers today as well—especially when you're tempted to assume God is silent or has forgotten you. Even when you can't see what God is doing, He is still working—masterfully weaving His purposes through every valley and victory. As you trust His sovereign hand, Christ-centered focus will produce the same fruit in you that it produced in Paul: contentment in every season, courage for every assignment, and joy that remains steady even when life is hard. Prayer: Lord, may I find comfort in You and Your sovereignty as You place me in situations that test and grow my faith. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:12-13). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

MY Devotional: Daily Encouragement from Leading The Way

Habakkuk ministered in a tense moment in Israel's history—when Babylon was rising and judgment was approaching—yet the heart of his book is deeply personal: moving from impatience and confusion to steadfast trust in God's timing. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef walks through Habakkuk's prayer in chapter 3 and points to three features that can reshape your own prayer life when answers feel delayed: Humility before God: Habakkuk begins by questioning God's silence (Habakkuk 1:2), but ends with reverent awe—learning to submit his perspective to God's sovereignty. Adoration of God: Instead of using prayer only to get solutions, Habakkuk models prayer as worship—asking to know God more and responding in obedience. Focus on God's work: Habakkuk pleads for mercy and awakening—not because the people deserve it, but because he longs for God's Name to be glorified. Where many sink into anger, depression, or prayerlessness when heaven feels quiet, Habakkuk turns delay into discipleship—asking, in effect, “Lord, what are You teaching me? How can I trust You more?” This devotional will help you pray through waiting seasons with faith, perspective, and joy that isn't dependent on circumstances. Prayer: Father, may I set my heart on You, the God of grace, wisdom, and sovereign power. I believe Your promises and will wait on You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  Scripture Focus: “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior” (Habakkuk 3:17-18).  *This devotional adapted from Life-Changing Prayers by Michael Youssef © 2018.

Kevin Burrell joins me to talk about what it means to pay attention again - to consider the birds, as Jesus says, and to see how creation can lead us deeper into the life of God. We walk through Philippians, a letter written from prison yet full of joy, and explore how joy and suffering can coexist, how anxiety is reshaped by trust, and how rootedness, unity, and discernment are formed in us over time. Kevin shares how birdwatching became more than a hobby, opening up a way of seeing that reveals God's presence in the ordinary and invites us to slow down, notice, and live with greater awareness of what God is doing all around us.Kevin Burrell is the co-lead Pastor of StoneBridge Church Community in Charlotte, North Carolina.

How can joy and suffering exist at the same time? And what does it look like to continue living fully for God after experiencing deep loss? In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, Joy sits down with speaker, author, and ministry leader Kirby Kelly to talk about grief, hope, and the redemptive way God weaves our stories together. Kirby shares insights from her book The Fabric of Hope, where she paints the beautiful picture of God restitching the broken pieces of our lives like a tapestry. Through honest conversation, Joy and Kirby explore why our scars and stories don't have to be hidden to be redeemed—and how God can transform pain into purpose. Together they discuss the reality of losing loved ones at different stages of life, processing grief with faith, and choosing to honor the legacy of those we've lost by continuing to live boldly for God. Rather than allowing grief to keep us stagnant, this conversation reminds us that healing can lead to breaking generational strongholds and stepping into the calling God has for our lives. Kirby Kelly is a speaker, author, podcast host, and content creator based in Dallas, Texas who has spent over a decade using digital platforms to equip and encourage a global audience with the truth of the Gospel. With degrees in Communication, Biblical Studies, and Theology, she blends theological depth with cultural relevance through her podcast Bought + Beloved, social media platforms, and books including You Can Be Free and The Fabric of Hope. Her heart is to see this generation live saved, set free, and sent into their God-given calling. ✨ In this episode, you'll discover: • How joy and suffering can coexist in the Christian life • Why God doesn't waste our pain but redeems our stories • How to process grief after losing a loved one • The importance of honoring legacy by continuing to live fully for God • How healing can help break generational patterns and strongholds If you've ever wrestled with grief, questioned God in a difficult season, or wondered how to move forward with hope after loss, this conversation will encourage you deeply.

In this profound and hope-filled Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the Christmas series with an honest, Scripture-saturated exploration of the third great gift Jesus brings: joy. Turning to the familiar yet astonishing encounter in Luke 1:26–38, Pastor Karl places us in the world of a young, powerless Mary—living in obscurity, poverty, and spiritual dryness under Roman oppression—when an angel suddenly declares her “highly favored” and announces she will bear the Son of God as a virgin.With pastoral clarity and compassion, Pastor Karl redefines biblical joy not as a forced smile, fleeting happiness, or denial of pain, but as a deep, settled confidence and calm cheerfulness in God—even when circumstances feel devastating. Mary's potentially ruinous situation (public shame, rejection, and lifelong stigma) becomes the backdrop for a joy that is rooted not in perfect conditions but in surrender to a perfect Savior. Joy, he shows, is not situational; it flows from trusting God's greater reality, His unchanging character, and His presence when clarity is absent.Drawing from Mary's radical response—“Let it be to me according to your word”—Pastor Karl tenderly calls every listener to the same doorway of lasting joy: radical surrender. Whether facing disappointment, health struggles, dashed dreams, or seasons of grief, joy grows when we release control, timelines, and the need to understand, and instead say “Yes, Lord” to whatever He has spoken. This is essential listening for anyone longing to move beyond seasonal happiness into the quiet, resilient cheerfulness that only Christ, born in a manger and risen from an empty tomb, can give.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

We live in a world that tells us happiness is always just one more step away—one more raise, one more purchase, one more answered prayer. Yet even when we finally get what we thought we wanted, peace still feels out of reach.In this powerful reflection, Jonathan Youssef invites you to pause and consider a radically different kind of joy, the kind that doesn't depend on circumstances. He takes us to a Roman prison cell, where the apostle Paul, chained and hungry, wrote these astonishing words:“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13Paul wasn't celebrating victory; he was declaring trust. From that dark cell came a light that still pierces our restless culture today: the secret of contentment found in Christ alone.Jonathan explores what it means to offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving even when life hurts, and how gratitude can become a spiritual weapon in seasons of loss, waiting, or disappointment.If you've ever wondered how to hold onto peace when everything feels uncertain, this message is for you.True gratitude isn't about pretending life is perfect.

How do you find joy when the diagnosis feels devastating? How can you become the joyful person God calls you to be—even in the midst of your deepest pain?Author Margaret Feinberg was nearing the completion of a book on joy when she received a life-altering diagnosis: aggressive cancer. What followed was a profound season of wrestling—an honest, raw search to understand what joy truly means when suffering feels overwhelming. Through that journey, Margaret discovered a deeper, more authentic belief about joy: that it can be a defiant act of worship in the darkest valleys. And when we choose to give joy away—even when we don't feel it—our own joy can begin to grow.In the midst of her pain, Margaret encountered the transformative power and presence of the Holy Spirit. Her latest book, **The God You Need to Know: Experience the Holy Spirit's Power and Presence Today**, invites readers to experience that same presence no matter what they're walking through.In this uplifting conversation, Davey and Margaret discuss how to truly show up for others in ways that heal rather than hurt, where joy can be found in suffering, and how to navigate the lingering fear that often follows hardship.If you're in a season where joy feels distant, this episode will encourage you to see that even small acts of sharing joy with others can help awaken it in your own heart as you walk through suffering.

Philippians 1:12-30Louis Tamburro What in your life are you living and dying for? Jesus is our eternal God who came to die for our sins on the cross, and he rose again on the 3rd day to prove he's eternal and so is the joy he offers us. We'll always have access to joy in daily life, when we put our faith in him and live for him above anything else in life. Paul says to live is Christ, and to die is gain, and that view of life allowed him to face any situation in life.

1 Peter 1:6-9 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
