Episode Details

The city of man is loud, dark, and decaying. But God’s people were never meant to live by fear, headlines, or pressure. In this episode, Dr. Michael Youssef urges believers to set their hope where it belongs: on the eternal City of God.

Drawing from Abraham’s faith in Hebrews 11, Dr. Youssef shows what real faith looks like:

It waits without giving in to despair,

It obeys without demanding full explanation,

It trusts God’s promises when fulfillment seems distant.

He also reminds us that earthly Jerusalem—chosen by grace—was a temporary sign pointing ahead to the New Jerusalem, where Christ reigns forever. As compromise spreads and discouragement grows, believers must repent of divided hearts and live as true citizens of Heaven.

Because Jesus is Emmanuel—God with us—we can stand firm, worship faithfully, and intercede with hope until He returns.

Scripture Focus: Hebrews 11
