In Surely Not Me…and Definitely Not Them, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly walks through the book of Jonah, revealing a prophet’s rebellion—and God’s relentless grace. This six-part series shows how the sovereign God of Scripture uses even reluctant servants to bring about powerful repentance and spiritual revival. From the depths of the sea to the streets of Nineveh, we are reminded that God’s mercy offends the proud, but transforms the repentant. With uncompromising truth, Dr. Youssef exposes our tendency to run from God’s call, our anger at His compassion toward others, and our need to be reconciled to His will. This is not just Jonah’s story—it’s ours.

From the depths of the great fish, Jonah prays—not with blame, but with repentance, praise, and surrender. In this soul-stirring message, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals that true transformation begins not when storms end, but when hearts are broken before a sovereign, holy God. Jonah’s prayer is a model for all who find themselves in the pit of disobedience or despair. It is probing, penitent, praising, and full of promise—rooted in the inerrant Word of God. Even when we run, God does not abandon His own. He pursues us, not to destroy, but to redeem and recommission. Will you stop resisting and say, “Surely it is me—and definitely I will go”? Now is the time to return.
