In this 9-part series, Joseph: Portrait of a Winner, Michael Youssef shows you how God defines a winner through the turbulent life of Joseph. Using eight character qualities, Dr. Youssef leads you to the truth that will help you live a life of a true winner — God’s type of winner!

In Winners Know How to Forgive, Part B, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to move beyond merely knowing what Scripture says about forgiveness to practicing it with a willing heart. Using Joseph’s mercy toward his brothers in Genesis 45 and 50, Dr. Youssef shows that forgiveness begins with a determined decision of the will, empowered by God, and must flow from those who have been forgiven by Christ. He warns that harboring unforgiveness invites spiritual defeat, robs joy, and grieves the Lord. True winners in God’s eyes release resentment, refuse grudges, and trust God’s timing for reconciliation—living in the freedom of the cross where justice and mercy meet, and interceding for others to know that same grace.
