    God's Hiding Place

    Before God used Elijah to confront a nation, He led him to a hiding place. In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from 1 Kings 17, showing how God prepares His servants through obedience, faith, and complete dependence on Him. Elijah was an ordinary man called to an extraordinary mission. He stood against King Ahab's wickedness and Israel's worship of Baal, boldly proclaiming God's Truth. But before his next assignment, God sent him to the Brook Cherith—where the Lord would provide for him, protect him, and strengthen his faith. Dr. Youssef reminds us that God's hiding places are not wasted seasons. They are opportunities to grow in trust, surrender, and obedience. This episode calls you to: Trust God during seasons of waiting and uncertainty,Recognize His provision and protection,Repent of hidden idols and spiritual compromise,Obey God's calling without fear,Grow in prayer and dependence on Christ,Prepare for the work God has called you to do.Are you in a season of waiting?

    Lessons in Thanksgiving

    God answers prayers every day—but how often do we stop to thank Him? In this powerful message from Luke 17, Dr. Michael Youssef explores the story of the ten lepers and reveals why thanksgiving is essential to genuine faith. All ten men cried out to Jesus for mercy. All ten were healed. Yet only one returned to worship Him. Dr. Youssef explains that the grateful Samaritan received something greater than physical healing: the gift of salvation. Gratitude is more than a feeling. It is an act of faith and obedience that honors God, strengthens our relationship with Him, and opens our hearts to His blessings. This episode challenges you to: Recognize God's blessings in your daily life,Replace complaining with thanksgiving,Return to God with praise, not just requests,Develop a habit of gratitude and worship,Thank Jesus for His mercy and saving grace.Are you like the nine who walked away—or the one who returned? Discover how a grateful heart can transform your walk with Christ.

    Faith Fosters Forgiveness

    Forgiveness isn't always easy—but Jesus commands it. In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from Luke 17, where Christ warns against spiritual stumbling blocks and calls believers to confront sin with humility and forgive those who repent. When Jesus commanded His disciples to forgive repeatedly, they responded, "Increase our faith." Why? Because true forgiveness requires more than human strength. It takes faith rooted in God's Word, prayer, and complete dependence on Jesus Christ. Dr. Youssef reminds us that faith fosters forgiveness. When we trust God's power instead of our own, we can release bitterness, reject self-righteousness, and extend the mercy we have received. This episode calls you to: Recognize spiritual traps and false teaching,Confront sin with humility and Biblical Truth,Forgive others without keeping score,Ask God to increase your faith,Overcome bitterness through prayer and surrender,Show Christ's mercy while awaiting His return.Forgiveness begins with faith. When Christ strengthens our hearts, we can forgive what once seemed impossible. Scripture Focus: Luke 17:1–10 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our 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

    The Rich Man and Lazarus

    Pride kills praise. In this powerful message from Empowered by Praise, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that pride is not a small weakness—it is a spiritual danger that robs believers of joy, blessing, and fruitfulness. Drawing from the inerrant Word of God, Dr. Youssef contrasts King David and Michal. David praised the Lord with all his might, laying aside status and self-image to honor God alone. Michal looked on with contempt, and her pride left her spiritually barren. This episode calls believers to: Repent of pride and self-centered worship,Praise God with humility and surrender,Reject criticism that quenches spiritual joy,Restore power in prayer and intercession,Live as faithful witnesses to the Gospel.True praise is not performance—it is sacrifice. When believers humble themselves before the Lord Jesus Christ, praise becomes the antidote to pride and the pathway to renewed spiritual power. Scripture Focus: Luke 16:19-31 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our 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

    The Shrewd Businessman

    Worldly wisdom plans for today. Eternal wisdom prepares for forever. Teaching from Luke 16, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that Jesus is not praising dishonesty in the parable of the shrewd manager. Instead, He exposes the foolishness of carefully planning for earthly security while giving little thought to eternity. If an unbelieving manager could act decisively for his temporary future, how much more should followers of Christ invest what God has entrusted to them for eternal purposes? This episode calls believers to: Examine where their priorities truly lie,Repent of complacency and materialism,Steward their time, talent, and treasure faithfully,Invest generously in Gospel work,Act on Biblical conviction rather than delay,Intercede and labor for souls while time remains.Earthly wealth will pass away. But what is surrendered to God and used for the advance of the Gospel carries eternal significance. True wisdom does not merely admire conviction—it acts on it. Scripture Focus: Luke 16:1-15 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our 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

    The Older Son

    You can be outwardly religious and still be inwardly rebellious. Teaching from Luke 15, Dr. Youssef turns to the older son in Jesus’ parable—a man who appeared faithful, yet whose heart was cold, resentful, and unwilling to celebrate grace. His problem was not open rebellion, but self-righteousness. Jesus reveals that prideful religion can be just as deadly as obvious sin because it resists mercy, rejects grace, and prevents genuine repentance. The older son wanted reward without relationship and obedience without the Father’s heart. Yet the Father goes out to plead with him, just as He welcomed the younger son home. This picture points to the costly mercy of God and the saving work of Jesus Christ for Jew and Gentile alike. This episode calls listeners to: Repent of legalism and self-righteousness,Examine whether outward obedience reflects a surrendered heart,Forgive others as God has shown mercy to us,Reject pride that resists grace,Cling to the inerrant Word of God,Intercede compassionately for sinners who need Christ.Grace humbles the proud and restores the repentant. The question is not simply whether we are near the Father’s house, but whether our hearts are truly near the Father. Scripture Focus: Luke 15:25-32 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our 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

    The Younger Son

    In this piercing message from Enduring Wisdom, Dr. Michael Youssef traces the younger son’s descent from pride and self-rule into shame, loss, and spiritual poverty. From Luke 15, Jesus exposes the emptiness of sin and reveals the only way home: humble repentance and surrender to the Father. Episode Description:Sin promises freedom, but its path leads to bondage and emptiness. Teaching from Luke 15, Dr. Michael Youssef examines the younger son’s rebellion and shows how pride, self-rule, and the pursuit of pleasure ultimately leave the sinner spiritually bankrupt. Sin may satisfy for a moment, but its consequences reach far deeper. True repentance begins when excuses end. The younger son comes to recognize his sin for what it is—an offense against a holy God—and humbly turns back to his father. This episode calls listeners to: Recognize the destructive path of rebellion,Reject the lie that sin truly satisfies,Repent without excuses or self-justification,Surrender completely to the Father,Trust God’s restoring grace,Intercede urgently for those wandering far from Him.No sinner is restored through pride or self-effort. The road home begins with repentance, and the inerrant Word of God faithfully points wandering hearts toward the grace of the Father. Scripture Focus: Luke 15:11-32 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our 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

    The Father

    The story of the prodigal son is ultimately a revelation of the Father’s heart. Teaching from Luke 15, Dr. Michael Youssef shows that the Father’s love is neither weak nor permissive. He allows rebellion, grieves over separation, and waits patiently—but when repentance comes, He runs in mercy to receive the one who returns. This is costly, redemptive love. Dr. Youssef points to the cross, where Jesus Christ bore the shame and cost of redeeming sinners who could never save themselves. And rebellion does not always look the same. Some run openly into the far country. Others hide behind religion, pride, and outward respectability. But the call to both is the same: repent and come home. This episode calls listeners to: See the holiness and compassion of the Father,Repent of open or hidden rebellion,Trust the inerrant Word of God,Receive the mercy offered through Christ,Intercede for those still in the far country,Rejoice in the Father’s redemptive love.The Father’s arms remain open to the repentant. The question is whether we will humble ourselves and come home. Scripture Focus: Luke 15:1 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our 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
