In this powerful 15-part series, The Secrets of Positive Living, Dr. Michael Youssef draws from the uncompromising truth of 2 Corinthians to reveal the Biblical foundation for lasting joy and victory. Unlike the hollow promises of positive thinking, this series proclaims the true source of strength: Christ in us. From forgiveness to spiritual warfare, generosity to godly sorrow, Dr. Youssef exposes the lies of modern culture and calls believers to repent, obey, and stand firm in the Truth. Through the Apostle Paul’s sufferings and triumphs, we discover that positive living is not self-made—it is Spirit-empowered, Christ-centered, and anchored in the inerrant Word of God.

In Part 3 of The Secrets of Positive Living, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the third Biblical key to victorious living: the power of forgiveness. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 2:5–15, he exposes pride as the root of unforgiveness and calls believers to obey Christ by releasing repentant offenders. True forgiveness, grounded in the Cross, defeats Satan, restores unity, and unleashes blessing. Paul’s triumphal vision of the Christian life—marching behind the victorious Christ—compels us to forgive, not to harbor bitterness. This message confronts the flesh, exalts the sufficiency of Christ, and calls the Church to live with Gospel authority, humility, and joy in the fragrance of Christ’s triumph.
