Has “grace” lost its wonder?

In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges the modern misconceptions that have watered grace down into mere politeness—or made it unnecessary in an age of self-sufficiency and “rights.” The Truth is far more stunning: we are sinners who could never earn our way back to God. Only Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and His righteousness credited to us can justify us before the Father (see John 3:16).

Dr. Youssef then brings this Gospel reality into your everyday battles. When trials hit, anxiety rises, or temptation threatens your fellowship with God, grace becomes more than a doctrine—it becomes your lifeline. Through prayer, God steadies you with peace and security, goes before you into life’s battles, and provides victory that doesn’t come from your strength, but from His.

If you’re facing pressure, fear, or exhaustion, this devotional will lift your eyes to the promise you can cling to today: God’s grace is sufficient—and His power is revealed in your weakness.

Where do you draw strength when you feel pressured to stay silent about Jesus?

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to the apostle Paul’s unwavering confidence in the Gospel: “The righteous will live by faith” (Romans 1:17). From Habakkuk to the New Testament, God’s message remains the same—faith isn’t a one-time decision; it’s the way God’s people live.

Dr. Youssef walks through how faith anchors every part of the believer’s life:

Past: You trusted Jesus and were saved by grace—rescued from hell to heaven.

Present: You rely on Christ daily for provision, wisdom, victory over sin, and strength to obey.

Future: You live with confidence that when you leave this world, you will be with Jesus forever.

And then comes the challenge: Are you ever tempted to be ashamed of the Gospel? When someone calls your faith narrow-minded—or labels the exclusivity of Christ as offensive—this devotional will remind you to return to your true power source and move forward in obedience, love, and faith.

Scripture Focus: Romans 1:17

Listen now and rediscover the awe-inspiring grace that saves, sanctifies, and secures you for eternity.

What does the grace of God really mean for your life today?

In this powerful episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef unpacks the life-changing Truth of God’s pursuing grace—from the Garden of Eden to your present struggles. Before grace, we were spiritually dead, enslaved to sin, and powerless to change. But through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God entered the scene—not merely to impress us with His omnipotence, but to rescue us from eternal death and bring us into abundant life (John 1:16).

Drawing from the sweeping narrative of Scripture and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, Dr. Youssef reminds us:

God’s grace awakens the spiritually dead.

God’s grace empowers us to overcome sin’s strongholds.

God’s grace sustains us when we stray.

God’s grace assures us of eternal hope.

Even when we falter, the Lord remains steadfast—the “Hound of Heaven,” faithfully pursuing His children. Through Christ, we are not merely survivors of sin’s battle—we are conquerors.

If you are struggling with guilt, spiritual apathy, or discouragement, this devotional will anchor your heart in the unchanging grace of God and call you to renewed surrender to the Spirit’s work in your life.

“Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given” (John 1:16).

Listen now and rediscover the awe-inspiring grace that saves, sanctifies, and secures you for eternity.

If you’re trying to grow closer to Jesus and keep hitting resistance, you’re not alone—and you’re not failing. In today’s MY Devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef shows why obstacles are part of the journey of faith and how your response to them can either stifle spiritual growth or strengthen it.

You’ll learn the three common blockers that quietly weaken intimacy with Christ:

An inability to accept correction — A teachable heart is a clear sign of maturity. How you respond when a godly believer points out blind spots reveals a lot about your love for Jesus.

An unwillingness to change — Sanctification means continual growth. The moment we stop changing, we step into spiritual danger.

Confusing the journey for the destination — Are you living as a citizen of this world with a passing interest in heaven, or as a citizen of heaven passing through this world? (Philippians 3:20–21)

This episode will help you reframe spiritual resistance, recognize what’s holding you back, and pursue Jesus with renewed focus—right where you are.

Many people assume their spiritual journey ends the moment they say, “I believe.” But just as wedding vows begin a marriage—not finish it—so salvation is the starting line of a lifelong, living relationship with Jesus.

In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to the apostle Paul as a striking example: a man with an impressive religious résumé who came to see every achievement as “garbage” compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ (Philippians 3:8–9). Why? Because genuine love for Jesus never settles into complacency. It longs for more.

You’ll hear why spiritual growth often begins with a simple, honest confession:
“Lord, my love for You feels shallow—change me.”

Dr. Youssef reminds us that Jesus longs to:

nourish your mind with Truth,

fill your heart with His love,

lift your imagination to eternal priorities, and

shape your will through surrender to His Spirit.

But it starts with a holy dissatisfaction—an ache that refuses mediocrity and chooses to seek God with the whole heart.

Scripture for today’s devotional:

“But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deuteronomy 4:29).

Press play—and ask God to deepen your hunger for Jesus today.
