    Arms Wide Open

    The rich young ruler wasn’t an atheist or a rebel. He was religious, successful, and outwardly moral—yet he lacked the one thing that matters: surrender to Jesus Christ. In this final message of Encountering Christ, Dr. Michael Youssef brings Matthew 19 straight into our world, exposing how pride and self-reliance keep souls from the Savior. When Jesus put His finger on the man’s idol, the ruler chose his treasure over Christ—and walked away sorrowful. Dr. Youssef warns that the same trap claims many today: holding tight to what cannot save while rejecting the only One who can. This episode calls you to: Identify the idol you refuse to surrender, Turn from pride and self-salvation, Repent and trust the sinless Son of God, Come to Christ with an open, humbled heart. Salvation is not earned by effort—it is received by repentance and complete trust in Jesus. And the Good News remains: His arms are still wide open to receive the humble. Scripture Focus: Matthew 19:16–22  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.  🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer TeamsOur trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support.https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at:https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way:https://www.ltw.org/donate

  2. He Can Open Your Eyes

    He Can Open Your Eyes

    Many people can see the world clearly and still be blind where it matters most. In this urgent message from the Encountering Christ series, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims a sobering Truth: sin leaves every person spiritually blind, cut off from the light of God. Through Jesus’ miraculous healing of the man born blind in John 9, Dr. Youssef shows that Christ is not only a healer—He is the only Savior who can open the eyes of the soul. Physical sight fades. But spiritual blindness leads to eternal death unless Christ intervenes. This episode calls you to: Admit the blindness sin creates, Reject self-trust and spiritual pride, Turn to Jesus Christ in repentance and faith, Receive the Light that leads to life. If you’ve been living in confusion, darkness, or dead religion, this message points you to the only One who can change everything. Jesus alone is the Light of the World—and He can open your eyes today. Scripture Focus: John 9  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.  🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer TeamsOur trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support.https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at:https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way:https://www.ltw.org/donate

  3. Who is Going to Heaven?

    Who is Going to Heaven?

    Everyone has an opinion about Heaven—but only Jesus has the authority to define the way. In this soul-searching episode, Dr. Michael Youssef takes you to John 3 and the nighttime conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus to expose a Truth our culture rejects: religion can’t save. Good deeds, moral living, and church involvement cannot cleanse the sin nature we all carry. Jesus didn’t say, “Try harder.” He said, “You must be born again.” Salvation is not self-improvement—it is new life given by the Spirit of God, purchased by Christ’s atoning death on the Cross and confirmed by His resurrection. This episode is a clear call to: Stop trusting in religion or performance, Repent and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone, Receive the new birth by the Spirit, Proclaim this Gospel Truth boldly in a world full of deception. Scripture Focus: John 3:1–15  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.  🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer TeamsOur trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support.https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at:https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way:https://www.ltw.org/donate

  4. Freedom from Bondage

    Freedom from Bondage

    Our culture is drowning in counterfeit intimacy—and the damage is everywhere. In this opening to Encountering Christ, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that sexual sin and addiction spread like a tidal wave, leaving people trapped in shame, secrecy, and despair. But this is not a message of defeat—it’s a message of rescue. From John 4, Dr. Youssef takes you to Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman—an outcast weighed down by sin and rejection. Her story isn’t just ancient history. It’s a clear picture of what Christ still does today: He exposes sin, offers mercy, and sets captives free. This episode calls you to: Stop hiding and confront sin with honesty, Trust the inerrant Word of God over cultural lies, Run to Christ for cleansing and freedom, Intercede for a world enslaved by counterfeit “love.” Only Jesus gives Living Water—and He offers it today.  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.  🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer TeamsOur trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support.https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at:https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way:https://www.ltw.org/donate

  5. The Subtle Sin Of Compromise

    1 MAY

    The Subtle Sin Of Compromise

    Compromise doesn’t explode—it creeps. In this urgent final message, Dr. Michael Youssef shares from his own testimony and points to the tragic life of Lot to expose how sin often works in slow steps: looking, drifting, settling, and finally surrendering. Lot didn’t wake up one day and wreck his family. He moved one choice at a time. And that’s why compromise is so dangerous—it feels small, but it grows. Left unchecked, it always weakens devotion to Christ and harms the home. But God is not demanding perfection. He is calling for repentance rooted in His inerrant Word. Dr. Youssef contrasts Lot’s failure with Job’s faithful intercession, urging parents to guard their hearts, resist worldly pull, and flee anything that dulls spiritual hunger. This episode calls families to: Spot compromise early—and stop it fast, Repent quickly instead of justifying sin, Intercede daily for spouses and children, Stand firm when culture pressures you to bend, Keep Jesus Christ as Lord of the home. Godly families are preserved when believers refuse the drift and choose obedience. Scripture Focus: Genesis 13:10–13; Genesis 19:1; Genesis 14:12  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.  🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer TeamsOur trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support.https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at:https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way:https://www.ltw.org/donate

  6. The Priesthood Of The Father

    The Priesthood Of The Father

    God never called fathers to be passive. In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef calls men to reclaim their God-given role as spiritual priests—men who stand in the gap for their families through prayer, repentance, and holiness. Drawing from Job, Dr. Youssef shows that long before Israel’s priesthood—or the New Testament Church—God placed spiritual leadership in the hands of fathers. He outlines three clear marks of a godly father: Commitment to lead with conviction, Compassion to shepherd with love, Consistency to walk the talk daily. In a culture working to tear down God’s design, this message exhorts men to return with humility and urgency. And it keeps the Gospel front and center: Christ is our High Priest, and only by surrendering to Him can fathers lead their homes in righteousness—rooted in the inerrant Word of God and anchored in daily intercession. Scripture Focus: Job 1:4–5  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.  🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer TeamsOur trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support.https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at:https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way:https://www.ltw.org/donate

  7. Believing For Your Family

    29 APR

    Believing For Your Family

    Parents are pressured to rely on the latest methods and feel-good answers. But in this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef calls families back to one foundation: faith in Jesus Christ and the inerrant Word of God. From John 4, Dr. Youssef points to a father in crisis whose son was dying. He came to Jesus, trusted His Word, and refused to quit. Dr. Youssef explains how real faith grows: from crisis faith into faith that becomes continuing, confident, confirmed, and contagious. This episode calls parents to: Repent of doubt and fear, Trust the inerrant Scriptures fully, Intercede without ceasing for their children, Stand firm against cultural pressure by believing God—no matter how long it takes. Jesus Christ is fully divine and utterly trustworthy, and He still honors believing prayer. Scripture Focus: John 4:46–54  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.  🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer TeamsOur trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support.https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at:https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way:https://www.ltw.org/donate
