Episode Details

Pessimism isn’t just a personality—it often reveals a deeper problem: unbelief. In this episode, Dr. Michael Youssef shows how doubt, fear, and self-protection cannot stand in the presence of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ.

Through the life of Thomas, we see a sober mirror of the human heart. Thomas had witnessed Jesus’ power, yet he still wavered—until he stood before the resurrected Savior and confessed, “My Lord and my God.” That moment wasn’t positive thinking. It was repentance, surrender, and faith in Jesus as the divine Son of God.

This message calls believers to:

• Reject distrust and stop feeding doubt,
• Stand on God’s inerrant Word,
• Intercede with bold faith,
• Serve Christ’s Kingdom with urgency,
• Prove by obedience that Jesus is Lord.

Scripture Focus: John 20:24–29; John 14:6
