In this final message, Dr. Michael Youssef calls every believer to the sacred duty of persistent intercession for the next generation. Teaching from John 4, he shows that God honors faith rooted in the inerrant Word of God and confidence in the promises of Jesus Christ, God in human flesh. Dr. Youssef urges believers to move from crisis faith to confident, contagious faith that trusts Christ without visible proof. He reminds the Church that God is a covenant-keeping God who works through families and generations. This episode confronts shallow belief and calls for repentance, faithful modeling, and relentless prayer—because shaping the future of the Church begins on our knees before a faithful God.

In this sobering message from Psalm 129, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that God’s people have always faced oppression—but never defeat. From Israel’s suffering in Egypt to the cross of Christ, Scripture proves that Satan’s attacks cannot overturn God’s purposes. Dr. Youssef affirms the full authority of God’s Word, the divinity and victory of Jesus Christ, and the certainty of final judgment. He calls the Church to repent of compromise, reject false compassion, and intercede with bold, Biblical prayers—for the salvation of enemies and the restraint of evil. As this series presses forward, believers are urged to stand firm, speak Truth without fear, and trust that victory belongs to Christ alone.

Dr. Michael Youssef calls the Church to repent of secular thinking and return to wholehearted obedience to God’s inerrant Word. Teaching from Psalm 128, Dr. Youssef declares that God’s blessing on future generations is inseparable from the faithful walk of the present one. He confronts hypocrisy in the church, exposes self-centered Christianity, and warns that a gospel focused on this life alone will forfeit the next generation. True fear of the Lord is not terror, but reverent obedience rooted in gratitude for Christ’s saving work. As believers walk with God, intercede in prayer, and model Biblical Truth, God raises enduring “olive shoots”—generations shaped to stand firm for Christ until He returns.

In this urgent opening message of Embracing Your Mission for the Future, Dr. Michael Youssef issues a bold call to reclaim our God-ordained duty to raise the next generation in Biblical Truth. Drawing from Psalm 127, Dr. Youssef exposes the Marxist roots of today’s cultural deception and warns of the systematic targeting of family, faith, and identity. Children are not victims of culture—they are arrows meant to pierce darkness and advance the Kingdom of God. This episode calls parents, grandparents, and church leaders to train children not to conform to the world, but to stand as warriors of Truth—sharpened by Scripture, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and aimed by the hand of God. Now is the time to embrace your mission.

Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from the Gospel of John 17, encouraging us that no matter what the future brings, we have confidence because Jesus is interceding for us with God the Father.

He then shares three things about Jesus' intercession in John 17:

1. He intercedes for His own glorification

2. He intercedes for His disciples' sanctification

3. He intercedes for the unity of believers and the church.

Watch Christmas Eve with Dr. Michael Youssef 3 p.m. ET.

Pulling from both the Old and New Testament, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches about the historical significance of the little town of Bethlehem and encourages us that just as God used a small, seemingly insignificant town, He can use anyone that is redeemed and totally surrendered to Him.

In this bold and urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the spiritual danger of unrealistic expectations—those placed on relationships, careers, or even the Church itself. Such expectations, rooted in human desire rather than God’s Truth, lead only to disappointment and despair. But when a believer’s hope is anchored in the inerrant Word of God—as it was for Simeon in Luke 2—there is no room for disillusionment. God always fulfills His promises. Dr. Youssef calls every disciple of Jesus Christ to reject worldly comparisons, trust in the divine promises of Scripture, and live in daily expectation of Christ’s return. Anything less is spiritual folly.
