In “Defending a Lion,” Dr. Michael Youssef challenges believers to recognize that the Word of God does not need to be defended—it needs to be unleashed. Drawing from the image of a lion, he explains that God's truth, like a lion, has inherent power and authority; it simply needs to be proclaimed boldly and without compromise. Youssef warns against watering down Scripture to make it more acceptable to culture, reminding Christians that God's Word stands strong on its own. He emphasizes that the Bible is living and active, capable of transforming lives, convicting hearts, and confronting sin when believers have the courage to speak it plainly. Through biblical examples and modern parallels, Youssef calls the Church to return to fearless preaching and personal conviction, even in a world that mocks or resists biblical truth. The message ultimately encourages Christians to stop apologizing for the gospel and instead trust that when God's Word is released in faith, it will defend itself, bring light into darkness, and change the world one heart at a time.

In Yesterday's Lesson for Today, Dr. Michael Youssef urges believers to reject the shallow comforts of modern Christianity and return to the unchanging truth of God's Word. Preaching from Acts 20, he shows how the Apostle Paul lived with unwavering obedience, bold witness, and tear-filled urgency. Paul's life was a living sermon—his walk matched his talk. Dr. Youssef warns that wolves are not only outside the church but sitting within, seeking to devour the undiscerning. We must be vigilant—over our homes, pulpits, and hearts. The Gospel never changes, no matter how loud the world shouts. Now is the time to repent, intercede, and stand firm—for ourselves and for the next generation.

What does true FREEDOM look like? Join Dr. Michael Youssef on the next LEADING THE WAY to gain a biblical perspective of FREEDOM in Christ! (Acts 19) Support the show: https://au.ltw.org/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Freedom, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly declares that true liberty is found only in surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Preaching from Acts 19, he exposes the lie of worldly freedom—a life unrestrained by God's Word—as slavery to sin and Satan. True believers are called to live boldly, discerning truth from error, and refusing to be intimidated by evil. But this freedom demands full repentance—not halfway living or Sunday-only religion. Dr. Youssef warns that partial obedience is rebellion in disguise. Just as the Ephesians burned their occult treasures, we too must destroy every idol and submit fully to Christ. The freedom Christ offers is not permission to sin—but power to overcome.

In Hang in There – You Are Not Alone, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes Satan's strategy of fear and intimidation, reminding believers that these weapons are powerless unless we allow them to control us. Using Acts 18, he reveals how even the Apostle Paul—bold and battle-worn—faced deep fear, discouragement, and loneliness in Corinth. But God did not leave him. Instead, He sent faithful friends, fruitful ministry, divine encouragement, and supernatural protection. Dr. Youssef calls believers to stand firm in the face of spiritual warfare, refusing to retreat. God is still in control, and He will never abandon those who trust in Him. This message calls us to reject fear, repent of doubt, and intercede for boldness—because the God of all comfort is with us.

In Who Is the Unknown God?, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the idolatry of modern culture with the boldness of the Apostle Paul in Acts 17. Preaching in a city filled with gods, Paul exposes the emptiness of false worship and proclaims the risen Christ as the only Savior and Judge. Dr. Youssef warns that idols are not just carved statues—they are anything that takes the place of the one true God. From false religion to pleasure, pride, and power, every idol will be judged. God is calling all people to repent, for a day of judgment is coming. This message calls believers to intercede, to proclaim Truth with urgency, and to live unashamed of the Gospel in a world darkened by deception.

Message from Dr. Michael Youssef on October 5, 2025

In Praise From the Prison of Affliction, Dr. Michael Youssef delivers a bold message on the supernatural power of praising God in the darkest moments of life. Preaching from Acts 16, he reveals how Paul and Silas sang praises while bleeding in a prison cell—because their eyes were fixed not on their pain, but on the Sovereign Lord who rules over all. This kind of praise, born from a right view of God, shakes foundations—both literal and spiritual. Dr. Youssef urges believers to stop seeking escape and start glorifying Christ, even in affliction. True praise amid suffering is a weapon of spiritual warfare, a witness to the lost, and the legacy that every believer must pass on to the next generation.

In Keeping Your Integrity Intact, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that the pursuit of popularity is a dangerous trap that leads to compromise and spiritual ruin. Preaching from Acts 14, he contrasts the fleeting praise of the crowd with the steadfast character of Paul and Barnabas—men who refused to be worshiped and remained faithful to the Gospel even when the same crowd turned violent. With bold clarity, Dr. Youssef calls believers to reject the applause of man and live for the glory of Christ alone. In a world obsessed with fame and self-promotion, this message anchors us in the unchanging Truth of Scripture and urges us to guard our integrity, pursue repentance, and walk in obedience to the Lord who never changes.

In this podcast special on spiritual warfare, Dr. Michael Youssef unpacks the reality of spiritual warfare and the victory believers have in Christ. Through Biblical teaching and powerful testimonies from around the world, he shows how the armor of God, the sword of the Spirit, and accountability bring freedom over addiction, persecution, and temptation. This program equips Christians with practical, Scripture-based tools to stand firm and live in daily victory. Dr. Youssef reveals what 50 years of ministry and walking with the Lord has revealed about Winning The Invisible War in his new book.

In A Pattern for Revival, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly exposes the counterfeit of “pigeon religion”—a powerless, man-centered imitation of true faith—and calls believers to walk in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Preaching from Acts 13, he outlines three marks of genuine Holy Spirit awakening: full surrender to the Spirit's leadership, unwavering commitment to Biblical Truth, and steadfastness in the face of opposition. Revival does not come through entertainment or softening the Gospel, but through repentance, obedience, and bold proclamation of Jesus Christ. This message reinforces the series' call to trust God's purpose even in hard times, knowing that He alone brings power, purity, and direction through His indwelling Spirit.

On today’s LEADING THE WAY, Dr. Michael Youssef takes you to an encounter between a desperate man and Peter and John. Hope through power! (Acts 3)Support the show: https://au.ltw.org/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In The Looking Up When Life's Got You Down Part 1, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the unstoppable power of God's grace through the dramatic conversion of Saul of Tarsus. Saul, once a fierce persecutor of Christians, becomes a mighty instrument of the Gospel—proof that no one is beyond God's reach. Drawing from Acts 9:1-31, Dr. Youssef reveals four divine surprises: a surprising man, method, mentor, and mates—all orchestrated by God's sovereign hand. This message calls every believer to rejoice in the grace that transforms enemies into ambassadors. It reminds us that God uses even the most broken vessels to advance His Kingdom, and He calls us to pray persistently, wait faithfully, and never underestimate the triumph of His grace.

In this concluding message from God's Power for Daily Living, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes Satan's unchanging strategy to silence the Church—using fear from the outside and division from within. Preaching from Acts 4, he shows how Peter and the apostles responded to persecution with boldness, unity, and Spirit-filled courage. Rather than cowering, they turned suffering into a pulpit and opposition into opportunity. Dr. Youssef warns that compromise is not an option for faithful believers. The true Church must rise with prayer, praise, and unwavering trust in the sovereignty of God. When grounded in the power of the resurrection and filled with the Holy Spirit, Christians can face any enemy with fearless conviction.

In this urgent message from God's Power for Daily Living, Dr. Michael Youssef declares that true healing begins with repentance—not merely physical, but spiritual deliverance through Jesus Christ. Preaching from Acts 3, he reveals that the miracle of the lame man's healing pointed to the far greater miracle: salvation. Just like that man, every person is born crippled by sin and hopeless apart from Christ. Dr. Youssef calls out the empty trust in money, intellect, and religion, urging believers to surrender fully to the authority of Jesus. Miracles are temporary, but the message of the Gospel is eternal. Repent, turn to Christ, and receive the refreshing power of the Holy Spirit today.

In this fifth message from God's Power for Daily Living, Dr. Michael Youssef outlines four Biblical marks of a Spirit-filled church: it honors God's Word, gives generously, worships joyfully, and witnesses boldly. Preaching from Acts 2, Dr. Youssef exposes the dangers of emotion-driven faith and calls the Church back to the authority of Scripture. A church that forsakes Truth for entertainment or feelings will collapse. But when the Holy Spirit fills God's people, they hunger for the Word, they give freely, they worship in reverent joy, and they reach the lost daily. This is not optional—it is the Biblical pattern. A Spirit-filled life is one of obedience, sacrifice, praise, and Gospel proclamation.

In this powerful message from God's Power for Daily Living, Dr. Michael Youssef takes us to Acts 2, where the Holy Spirit descends upon the early Church with unstoppable force. Just as God breathed physical life into Adam, He now breathes spiritual life into His people—birthing a new creation through the power of the Spirit. The sound of violent wind, tongues of fire, and supernatural speech marked this holy moment, igniting the spread of the Gospel across nations. Dr. Youssef warns that true transformation comes only through repentance, obedience, and the indwelling Holy Spirit. The same Spirit who moved in Jerusalem is at work today—calling believers to bold witness and warning the unrepentant that the door of mercy will soon shut.

In this second message from God's Power for Daily Living, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to embrace the Biblical purpose of waiting. Preaching from Acts 1:12–26, he warns against the modern obsession with instant gratification and reminds us that God's silence is never empty—it is training ground for obedience, fellowship, prayer, and spiritual readiness. The apostles didn't waste their waiting; they obeyed Christ, prayed in unity, and prepared for the coming power of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Youssef also exposes the danger of apostasy through the example of Judas, urging listeners to examine their hearts and submit fully to Christ. True revival, he says, begins with faithful preparation—starting on our knees.

In this powerful opening message of God's Power for Daily Living, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals that the Christian's true strength comes from the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Acts 1:1–11, he proclaims that our message is not about morals or methods—it is Christ Himself, crucified and risen. Only through the Spirit's supernatural power can we live faithfully, witness boldly, and see lasting transformation. Jesus did not call us to comfort but to courageous testimony. This power is not optional—it is essential. As the world grows darker, now is the time to be filled with God's Spirit, stand for His Truth, and live as faithful witnesses until Christ returns in glory.
