In Healthy Living in a Sick World, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly walks through 1 Corinthians to expose how the spiritual sickness infecting the church in ancient Corinth mirrors the moral confusion of our modern culture. This 21-part series confronts cultural compromise, spiritual apathy, and doctrinal distortion with the unchanging truth of God’s Word. From divisive pride to sexual immorality, from false teaching to financial idolatry, the Apostle Paul offers God’s antidote—holy living rooted in the resurrection power of Christ. Each episode calls believers to reject the lies of this age, return to sound doctrine, and stand firm in Gospel truth with urgency, courage, and uncompromising faith.

In Part 13 of Healthy Living in a Sick World, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the deadly root of pride as revealed in 1 Corinthians 10. With pastoral urgency, he warns that pride—even in the strongest believer—opens the door to idolatry, immorality, rebellion, and disqualification. Using Israel’s wilderness failures as a sobering example, Paul calls the Church to reject spiritual smugness and cling to God’s mercy. Dr. Youssef reminds us that temptation is not unique, and God always provides a way of escape for those who truly seek Him. The believer’s only hope lies in full dependence on Christ, daily repentance, and obedience to His Word. The stakes are eternal. Let him who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall.
