Episode Details

In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals the astonishing truth that Abraham was called a “friend of God”—not because he was flawless, but because he trusted God completely. Based on Genesis 18, Dr. Youssef shows how faith opens the door to intimate friendship with the Lord, marked by worship, obedience, intercession, and the courage to act. God confided in Abraham and answered his bold prayers for his rebellious family, reminding us that the Lord hears when His people pray. As our nation spirals in sin, God seeks faithful believers who will not settle for passivity but will stand in the gap. Friendship with God demands repentance, loyalty, and a life centered on Christ—no compromise.  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.  🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support. https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at: https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way: https://www.ltw.org/donate
