In Counting Stars in an Empty Sky, Dr. Michael Youssef guides you through the faith-filled journey of Abraham—a man called to trust God when the promises seemed distant and the path was dark. Across this 10-part series, Dr. Youssef reveals how true faith clings to God’s Word, even when the visible evidence is gone. Through powerful teaching rooted in Genesis and pointing to Christ, each episode highlights God’s covenant faithfulness, the necessity of obedience, and the urgency of trusting God’s plan over our own. From the silence of waiting to the surrender of all, this series will challenge you to trust the God who sees, who provides, and who never fails to fulfill His promises.  

In this bold message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the hidden fear that follows spiritual victory. After rescuing Lot and refusing the riches of Sodom, Abraham stands strong—yet fear quietly sets in. God answers with an unshakable promise: “Do not fear…I am your shield and your great reward” (Genesis 15:1). Dr. Youssef declares that courage flows from trusting the Living God, not wealth, success, or strength. Jesus Christ Himself is our protection and our reward. Though God’s promises may seem delayed, His Word never fails. Believers are called to repent of fear, intercede in prayer, and trust God fully—even when the stars cannot yet be seen.
