Leading The Way Radio Podcast

In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the subtle barriers that cool a believer’s love for Christ. Drawing from the inerrant Word of God, he identifies three dangers that hinder deep intimacy with Jesus: refusing godly correction, resisting Spirit‑led change, and mistaking this temporary world for our eternal home. Dr. Youssef reminds us that genuine repentance and humble self‑examination are essential if we are to love the Lord Jesus—fully God and our only Savior—with an undivided heart. As the culture grows colder and distractions multiply, this episode calls every believer to intercede, to surrender pride, and to return to the passionate, transforming love that Christ alone deserves.  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

What does it truly mean to love Jesus—not just in word, but in deed? In this foundational message from To Know Jesus Is to Love Him, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the superficial love so common in our day and calls believers to a deeper, more intimate relationship with the risen Christ. Drawing from Philippians 3:8 and Ephesians 3:18, Dr. Youssef urges us to reject complacency and pursue Christ with unrelenting devotion. True love for Jesus means surrendering all—status, ambition, even ministry itself—at the foot of the Cross. In a world where the love of many grows cold, now is the time to repent, press in, and cry out for a transformative love that endures through every trial, fueled by the Holy Spirit and grounded in the inerrant Word of God.  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

In this final message of The Greatest Lie, Dr. Michael Youssef calls every listener to a decisive choice—one that cannot be postponed or blended with other beliefs. Jesus is not one option among many. He is the only way to Heaven, and rejecting that Truth is a decision for eternal separation from God. Dr. Youssef boldly contrasts the eternal joy of Heaven with the torment of Hell, warning against the passive indecision that damns so many. Heaven is a real place—promised to those who repent, trust Christ alone, and live in obedience. This urgent call to surrender is not just personal—it is a commission to intercede and lead others to the narrow gate before it is too late.  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

In Part 6 of The Greatest Lie, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the dangerous misconception that God’s grace is lenient or permissive. He warns that many in today’s churches have turned the amazing grace of God into “boring grace” by ignoring the gravity of sin and denying the exclusivity of Christ. Grace is not God overlooking sin—it is the costly gift secured by the shed blood of Jesus Christ alone. Dr. Youssef exposes the lie that all roads lead to God and calls believers to awaken, intercede for the spiritually dead, and proclaim the Truth. God’s grace awaits those who confess and repent, but the time to come home is now—before the door is shut forever.  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

In Part 5 of The Greatest Lie, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals the spiritual debt every human being carries—a debt so vast it cannot be repaid by good works, religious rituals, or self-effort. Only the sinless Son of God, Jesus Christ, has the righteousness and power to pay that debt through His shed blood on the cross. From the fig leaves of Adam to the counterfeit worship of Cain, mankind has always sought man-made solutions. But God offers only one way—through the perfect Lamb of God. This message warns against false inclusivity in churches and calls believers to bold intercession, Gospel proclamation, and unwavering trust in the only Savior who can open the door to eternal life—before it is forever shut.  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

In Part 4 of The Greatest Lie, Dr. Michael Youssef presents overwhelming evidence that Christianity stands on historical fact, not myth. From the unity of Scripture to fulfilled prophecy, from the virgin birth to the empty tomb, the Bible proves itself to be the inerrant Word of God. Jesus Christ did not arrive by chance—His birth, ministry, death, and resurrection unfolded on God’s precise timetable foretold centuries earlier. No other religious leader conquered the grave. Dr. Youssef calls listeners to repent of pride, bow before Christ’s divine authority, and stand unashamed of the Truth. Believers are urged to intercede boldly, proclaiming that Jesus alone is Savior and Judge of all.  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

In Part 3 of The Greatest Lie, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals the unity of Scripture through the Tale of Three Gardens—Eden, Gethsemane, and the final Garden of God. From the first garden came sin, death, and the curse through disobedience. In the middle garden, Gethsemane, Jesus Christ—the last Adam—fully obeyed the Father, crushed Satan’s power, and secured salvation through the cross. Only those who follow Him can enter the final garden of eternal life described in Revelation. Dr. Youssef warns that rejecting Christ alone leads to hell, a real place Jesus Himself described. This message calls for repentance, unwavering faith in God’s Word, and urgent intercession for souls deceived by the greatest lie.  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

In Part 2 of The Greatest Lie, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes Satan’s bold deception in Eden—the lie that human beings can become their own authority over Truth. Drawing from Genesis, he shows how Eve’s doubt, Scripture distortion, and pride led her from obedience into spiritual disease. What Satan promised as wisdom delivered suffering, not freedom. That same lie now fills books, pulpits, and cultures that reject God’s Word and exalt self‑rule. Dr. Youssef proclaims the unchanging Truth: Scripture alone is inerrant, Jesus Christ alone is Savior, and repentance is the only cure for sin. Believers are called to resist deception, intercede for the lost, and boldly declare Christ as Lord.  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

In this opening message of The Greatest Lie series, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the ancient falsehood that still deceives millions: that all paths lead to God. Rooted in Genesis 3:15, Dr. Youssef reveals how the first lie whispered in Eden continues to corrupt hearts and pulpits alike. He confronts the seductive appeal of religious pluralism, calling it what it is—a satanic distortion that leads to spiritual ruin and eternal condemnation. But amid the deception, God declared a promise: a Savior who would crush the serpent’s head. This episode calls believers to reject compromise, embrace the inerrant Truth of God's Word, and boldly proclaim that Jesus Christ alone is Lord and Redeemer.  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

In this final message, Dr. Michael Youssef leads us to the mountain of ultimate testing—where Abraham is commanded to offer his beloved son, Isaac. From Genesis 22, we see not only Abraham’s unshakable obedience, but a prophetic picture of God’s own sacrifice: His Son, Jesus Christ, the true Lamb. This is the Ph.D. level of faith—a faith that does not waver, even when God’s commands seem to contradict His promises. Abraham’s obedience was prompt, willing, settled, and rewarded. And like Isaac, we too must be willing to lay down all. This episode calls believers to surrender every idol, trust God fully, and never lose sight of the cross—where God saw to it, and the Lamb was provided.  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

In this stirring message, Dr. Michael Youssef declares the faithfulness of the God who keeps His promises—no matter how long the delay. From Genesis 21, the long-awaited birth of Isaac proves that God is never late, and that nothing is impossible for Him. But Isaac’s birth was more than a personal victory for Abraham and Sarah—it pointed forward to the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ and even to our own spiritual rebirth. Just as Isaac was born by God’s power alone, so too we must be born again by the Holy Spirit. This episode calls every listener to repentance, to faith in Christ alone, and to rejoice in the unshakable joy that comes from trusting the Word of the Living God.  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

In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals the astonishing truth that Abraham was called a “friend of God”—not because he was flawless, but because he trusted God completely. Based on Genesis 18, Dr. Youssef shows how faith opens the door to intimate friendship with the Lord, marked by worship, obedience, intercession, and the courage to act. God confided in Abraham and answered his bold prayers for his rebellious family, reminding us that the Lord hears when His people pray. As our nation spirals in sin, God seeks faithful believers who will not settle for passivity but will stand in the gap. Friendship with God demands repentance, loyalty, and a life centered on Christ—no compromise.  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

In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef addresses the silence of God—not as absence, but as purposeful preparation. After Abraham's disobedience, God waited thirteen years before speaking again—thirteen years of silence that revealed the depth of God's mercy, testing, and precision. Through Genesis 17, Dr. Youssef reminds us that El Shaddai, the God of power and might, never abandons His covenant promises. But He calls us to respond with immediate obedience, not passive comfort. God does not accept substitutes or shortcuts—He demands full trust. Believers must not settle for second-best or live for self. This is a call to reject compromise, repent of complacency, and live boldly for Christ, trusting His perfect timing and plan.  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

In this sobering message, Dr. Michael Youssef warns of the danger of impatience with God’s promises. Abraham and Sarah—once full of faith—abandon trust and attempt to fulfill God’s plan in their own way. The result is generational pain that still affects the world today. Drawing from Genesis 16, Dr. Youssef boldly confronts the consequences of ignoring God’s Word and following cultural norms instead of Biblical truth. Yet even in failure, God’s mercy shines. He meets Hagar, the abandoned servant, and reveals Himself as the God who sees and hears. This episode is a call to repentance, to remain in the place of obedience, and to trust the Living God—even when His answer seems delayed.  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

In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals how God’s covenant with Abraham renews vision and strengthens weary faith. Though Abraham waited ten long years, God’s promise did not change—because His Word is eternal, His love is unearned, and His covenant is unilateral. Dr. Youssef boldly proclaims the Gospel: Jesus Christ alone bore the full weight of our sin, making the New Covenant by His blood—not with equals, but sinners in need of grace. The believer’s security rests not in emotion or effort, but in God’s unshakeable faithfulness. In a time when many distort grace, this message calls us to repentance, reverence, and renewed trust in the God who keeps His Word—no matter what.  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

In this bold message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the hidden fear that follows spiritual victory. After rescuing Lot and refusing the riches of Sodom, Abraham stands strong—yet fear quietly sets in. God answers with an unshakable promise: “Do not fear…I am your shield and your great reward” (Genesis 15:1). Dr. Youssef declares that courage flows from trusting the Living God, not wealth, success, or strength. Jesus Christ Himself is our protection and our reward. Though God’s promises may seem delayed, His Word never fails. Believers are called to repent of fear, intercede in prayer, and trust God fully—even when the stars cannot yet be seen.  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

In this sobering message, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the danger of drifting from faith into self-reliance. Using Abraham’s descent into Egypt, he warns that trusting human logic, resources, and convenience always leads away from God. Scripture is clear: covering sin brings loss, but confessing sin brings restoration. Abraham’s fear produced deception, shame, and rebuke—yet God, in mercy, pulled him back to Bethel. Dr. Youssef declares that only repentance and renewed worship restore broken fellowship. The blood of Jesus Christ alone cleanses sin and secures God’s promises. Believers are called to return to the heart of worship, intercede for renewal, and trust God’s power even in famine. Counting stars—when none are visible—leads upward and onward in faith.  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

In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef warns believers against settling in “Haran”—the place of compromise that delays God’s best. Drawing from Genesis and Acts, he shows that partial obedience always leads to spiritual drift. Like Abraham, God calls His people to live as pilgrims, clothed in Christ’s righteousness and guided by God’s unchanging Word. True renewal never comes through comfort, tolerance, or half-hearted faith. It comes through repentance, holiness, and obedience to Jesus Christ alone. Dr. Youssef calls every believer to examine their heart, leave compromise behind, and intercede for revival. Counting stars—even when none are visible—is how God restores His people and puts them back on His path.  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

In this powerful opening message, Dr. Michael Youssef draws us into Abraham’s journey of faith—a path marked not by ease, but by obedience to the voice of God. Though Abraham had no map, no Bible, no church, and no stars to see, he trusted the Lord simply because God said so (Genesis 12). This is the essence of Biblical faith—believing and obeying God's Word even when the promises seem distant or impossible. Dr. Youssef urgently calls believers to leave behind the compromise of a "Haran" life, forsake mediocrity, and press into the higher calling of obedience. God's promises are certain—fulfilled supremely in Jesus Christ, the promised seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:16). Even when the sky appears empty, keep counting stars—because God's Word never fails.  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

In this foundational message, Dr. Michael Youssef issues a clear and urgent charge: We preach Christ and Christ alone. Anchored in the inerrant Word of God, this message confronts false gospels, cultural compromise, and every attempt to remake Jesus in man’s image. Dr. Youssef proclaims the full Biblical Christ—God of very God, crucified, risen, ascended, and returning in glory. Salvation is by repentance and faith in Him alone, not by works, knowledge, or sentiment. Believers are called to stand firm, to intercede for a deceived world, and to proclaim the Truth without apology. This is the unchanging foundation of Leading The Way—and of the Church of Jesus Christ.  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
