The Shepherd and the Lost Sheep
In first-century Israel, tax collectors and “sinners” were among society’s most despised people.

Satan has already b
The Cost of Discipleship

The Only Hope for Salvation

Salvation does not come through ethnicity, religious tradi
The True Nature of the Kingdom of God

Endure Cancel Culture for Christ

Dead Faith or Living Faith?

The spirit of antichrist denies that Jesus
Slow to Anger

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that God’s delay in judgment is not weakness or forgetfulness. It is an expression of His mercy and His call for sinners to repent.People offer many reasons for postponing s
The God Who Encourages Us
In 520 BC, God’s people faced a season of uncertainty. They had returned from exile and begun rebuilding the temple, but opposition and discouragement brought the work to a halt.

For I am with you.”In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that God does not ignore our pain or minimi

But when the bridegroom finally arrived, only five were ready.In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why this parable should cause every professing Christian to examine the reality of his or her f
Don’t Be Anxious
At the root of much anxiety is the fear that something valuable will be taken away—our possessions, security, plans, or future. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that true peace cannot be found in what we own, but in the God who owns everything and graciously provides for His people.God does not bless us merely so that we can accumulate more.

What Would Jesus Say?

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to Paul’s warning in 2 Timothy and Jesus’ words in John 15: those who belong to Christ will sometimes face opposition precisely because t
A Plan for Victory

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that courageous faith begins by recognizing the greatness of God’s power and the certainty of His
Costly Obedience
What will you do when obedience to God costs you something?

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr
Hindrances in the Race
Every runner knows that unnecessary weight makes a long race harder. The same is true in the Christian life. Hebrews 12 calls believers to “throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles” so we can run with perseverance the race God has marked out for us.
In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef identifies some of the spiritual weights that can s

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that God chose Noah not because of his expertise, but because of his fait
Faith That Leads to Obedience
Sometimes God calls us to surrender something precious. Other times He asks us to step beyond what feels comfortable to share the Gospel, serve His Kingdom, or obey a command we do not fully understand. Whatever the assignment, genuine faith eventually comes to the same conclusion: God must be obeyed.
In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to the story of Noah i
Courageous Faith

The Word of God Is an Instruction Manual—Part II
Have you ever skimmed instructions simply to confirm what you already believed? We can do the same thing with Scripture—approaching the Bible with predetermined ideas and searching only for verses that support them.
In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef warns against reading our own assumptions into God’s Word. When we force a favorite theme, opinion, or belief onto
The Word of God Is an Instruction Manual—Part I
Many of us have a habit of skipping the instructions and trying to figure things out on our own. But when it comes to Scripture, that approach can lead to serious misunderstanding. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why learning to read the Bible properly is essential for Christian growth.
Dr. Youssef identifies several common pitfalls, including proof-te
The Word of God Is a Scalpel
Hebrews 4:12 describes the Word of God as alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. Scripture is far more than ink on a page—it carries God’s authority, power, will, and Truth, producing fruit and transforming the lives of those who receive it.
In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef compares the penetrating power of Scripture to a surgeon’s scalpel. In un
The Word of God Is a Cherished Letter
If the Bible were truly just another book, why would so many people resist what it has to say? In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why Scripture provokes such a strong response: God’s Word is living Truth, sent with divine authority to accomplish His will.
Isaiah declares that God’s Word will not return empty. It carries His power, authority, and purpose—a
The Word of God Is a Cleansing Shower
A mirror can show you what is wrong, but imagine having no way to wash or clean what you see. That is how many people approach the Bible: They recognize their sin and failure, feel powerless to change, and eventually close the Book in discouragement.
But Scripture is more than a mirror. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to the Bible’s cleansing power. Ephe
The Word of God Is a Mirror

The Word of God Is a Feast

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explai
The Word of God Is Under Attack
There was a time when many people in the Western world—believers and non-believers alike—knew the Bible’s stories, teachings, and moral foundations. But today, Biblical knowledge is fading as postmodern thinking declares truth to be personal, shifting, and based on feeling. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that God’s Word does not bend to cultu

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points believers back to the Biblical foundation of true justice: God owns everything, and His people are called to manage what He has entrusted to them for His glory.
Our bodies, money, possessions, time, and gifts do not ult
So That No One May Stumble
In Christ, believers are free—but Christian freedom must never become a stumbling block to others. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef continues in 1 Corinthians 8, where Paul addresses the issue of eating meat that had been offered to idols.
The mature believers in Corinth knew they were free to eat the meat with a clean conscience. But some younger or weaker beli
Freedom and Conscience
First Corinthians 8 addresses a question that was not explicitly forbidden in Scripture: whether believers should eat meat that had been sacrificed to idols. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains how Paul guided the Corinthian church through an issue that required wisdom, conscience, and sensitivity to others.
In first-century Corinth, much of the available
Because the Time Is Short
The early Christians lived under intense pressure and persecution, yet Paul urged them to live with urgency, clarity, and devotion to the Lord. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reflects on Paul’s words to the Corinthians: “The time is short.”
Paul wanted believers then—and believers now—to live with singleness of heart and action. When we surrender our personal
Fulfilled in Christ—Whether Married or Single
Society is on an endless search for happiness, training us to believe that the next product, relationship, lifestyle, or change in circumstances will finally satisfy us. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why every earthly substitute eventually disappoints: we were created to find our joy and satisfaction in God alone.
This truth applies not only to mater
A Good and Holy Gift from God

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reflects on Isaiah’s promise that the Messiah would give His people “a garment of praise i

Our Treasure House
Today’s culture tells us that self-image, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and self-fulfillment are the keys to happiness. But in today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that placing the self at the center is like drinking salt water—the more we consume, the thirstier we become.
