Message from Dr. Michael Youssef on January 4, 2026

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 Spirit, and aimed by the hand of God. Now is the time to embrace your mission.

In this urgent and powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the unshakable confidence believers can have in uncertain times—because Jesus Christ is interceding for us at the right hand of God the Father. 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 Christ’s eternal priesthood, clinging to the Truth that sanctifies and unites. The future may be unknown—but the Savior is known, and He holds it all.

Message from Dr. Michael Youssef on December 21, 2025

Pulling 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, or religion—it is found in Jesus Christ alone. Through Scriptural truths and historical context, Dr. Youssef calls every listener to humble themselves, repent, and receive the only Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ—because one day, every knee will bow before Him.

Message from Dr. Michael Youssef on December 14, 2025

In 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's return. Anything less is spiritual folly.

Message from Dr. Michael Youssef on December 7, 2025

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 and His Church. But Jesus still calls the lonely to step forward, confess their faith, and walk in fellowship and freedom.

What do your everyday habits—your screen time, your schedule, your workload—have to do with your spiritual life?In this two-part conversation, Jonathan sits down with Justin Whitmel Earley author of The Common Rule, Habits of the Household, and his newest book, The Body Teaches the Soul. In Part 1, Justin shares how a season of crippling anxiety and mental collapse as a young lawyer forced him to reconsider everything he thought he knew about discipleship, the body, and the habits that quietly shape our lives.Justin tells the story of moving from missionary work in China to corporate law in the United States and how, even with solid theology and a half-finished seminary degree, he found himself preaching a gospel of peace while his body was a wreck of anxiety. That crisis became the doorway into discovering how God uses ordinary, physical habits to form us spiritually.Together, Jonathan and Justin explore why what you repeatedly do, often without thinking, matters more than you realize, and how the “liturgies” of our phones, work lives, and cultural moment either draw us toward Christ or away from Him.About Justin Whitmel EarleyJustin Whitmel Earley is a lawyer, speaker, and author whose work focuses on how habits and disciplines shape our spiritual, emotional, and relational lives.

Message from Dr. Michael Youssef on November 30, 2025

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-righteousness, the answer is the same: humble repentance before a loving Savior who restores, redeems, and heals the brokenhearted, and welcomes the contrite home.

Message from Dr. Michael Youssef on November 23, 2025

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 found in crying out to the Lord, trusting His Word, and obeying His voice, even when it comes as a gentle whisper.

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 message calls every listener to examine their heart and trust in the Redeemer who alone restores the soul.
