Leading The Way Radio Podcast

Discouragement can make believers look backward, question God’s plan, and shrink from obedience. But God’s message through Haggai is clear: be strong, keep working, and remember that the Lord is with you.

In this powerful series finale, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that courage does not come from favorable circumstances. It comes from the presence and promises of the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God and coming King.

God’s inerrant Word calls His people to stop comparing the present with the past, repent of compromise, and stand firm when others abandon Biblical Truth. God remains sovereign, His promises cannot fail, and His glory will triumph.

This episode calls believers to:

Reject fear and discouragement,

Repent of compromise and divided loyalty,

Stop living in the past,

Trust God’s sovereign purpose,

Intercede for revival,

Serve His Kingdom with renewed strength.

Knowing where you stand means remembering that Christ is with His people, His promises will stand, and His glory will prevail.

Excuses may explain disobedience, but they never justify it. In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef shows how God used Haggai to confront a people who had given their time, energy, and resources to everything except His Kingdom.

The answer was not more activity. It was surrender.

When the remnant heard God’s Word, they obeyed. In the same way, believers today must stop defending misplaced priorities and return to the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God and our only Savior.

This episode calls believers to:

Examine how they use their time and resources,

Confess sin and abandon excuses,

Put God’s Kingdom first,

Obey His inerrant Word,

Intercede for revival,

Serve the Gospel with renewed zeal.

Knowing where you stand means more than understanding God’s command. It means obeying Him without excuse.

God’s people had returned from exile with good intentions, but discouragement, opposition, and comfort slowly pushed God’s priorities aside.

In this opening message from Know Where You Stand, Dr. Michael Youssef shows how Haggai’s warning speaks directly to believers today. When cultural pressure rises and spiritual zeal fades, God calls His people to stop, examine their lives, and return to wholehearted obedience.

Those who belong to Jesus Christ cannot allow comfort, compromise, or fear to determine their priorities. God’s inerrant Word calls believers to repentance, renewed devotion, and courageous faithfulness.

This episode calls believers to:

Examine where God stands in their priorities,

Repent of spiritual complacency and compromise,

Renew their zeal for God’s Kingdom,

Stand firmly on Biblical Truth,

Intercede for revival,

Proclaim the Gospel without retreat.

The question is not simply where the culture stands. The question is: Do you know where you stand before the Lord?

The Church does not exist to preach popular ideas, human philosophies, or a Jesus reshaped by culture. We preach Jesus Christ as Lord.

In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers back to the inerrant Word of God and the full Biblical Truth about Christ. Jesus is not merely a teacher, moral example, or religious figure. He is eternal God in human flesh—the sinless Savior who died for sinners, rose bodily from the grave, ascended to Heaven, and will return in power and glory.

Salvation cannot be earned through works, religious knowledge, or sincere feelings. It is received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone.

This episode calls believers to:

Reject false and diluted gospels,

Refuse cultural compromise,

Stand firm on the authority of Scripture,

Intercede for those trapped in deception,

Proclaim Christ without fear or apology,

Live under the Lordship of the risen King.

The message has not changed. The mission has not changed. We preach Christ.

The life of faith is not a sprint fueled by pride—it is a marathon sustained by grace. In this powerful series finale, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to Hebrews 12 and calls believers to run with endurance.

The saints of Hebrews 11 were not perfect, but they finished strong because they trusted God and kept moving forward. Their witness now challenges us to lay aside every sin, weight, and distraction that slows our spiritual progress.

Above all, believers must fix their eyes on Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of faith. He endured the Cross for the joy set before Him, and He now calls His people to follow with the same eternal focus.

This episode calls believers to:

Repent of sin and spiritual distraction,

Cast off anything that weakens devotion to Christ,

Run with perseverance when the road is difficult,

Intercede faithfully for others,

Keep eternity in view,

Finish the race with passion and faith.

Christ has gone before us. His glory is our goal, His grace is our strength, and His promised reward makes every sacrifice worthwhile.

Scripture Focus: Hebrews 12:1–3
