Leading The Way Radio Podcast

God doesn't need wealth, status, or human strength to accomplish His purposes. He asks for faith and obedience.
In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from 1 Kings 17, where Elijah's brook dries up and God sends him to Zarephath—a place that makes little sense by human standards.
But God was already at work. He was preparing Elijah for a new assignment while reaching a Gentile widow living in the land of Baal. Through their encounter, Dr. Youssef shows that God can accomplish much through people who have little but trust Him completely.
This episode challenges you to:
Trust God when your resources seem insufficient,
Obey even when His direction doesn't make sense,
Recognize God's work in unexpected places,
Overcome doubt through faith in His promises,
Pray boldly and surrender your plans to Christ,
Remember that God can use anyone for His Kingdom.
When what you have seems too small, remember who your God is. Discover how trusting His promises can turn ordinary obedience into extraordinary Kingdom impact.
Scripture Focus: 1 Kings 17

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? Discover how God can use your hiding place to deepen your faith and prepare you for His purpose.

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.

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

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
