In this eight-part companion series to his book Never Give Up, Dr. Michael Youssef encourages us to embody Paul’s unwavering confidence in the Gospel. Digging deep into the apostle’s letter known as 2 Timothy, Dr. Youssef exhorts believers everywhere to do all we can to remain true to Christ.

In this second episode of Never Give Up, Dr. Michael Youssef sounds a bold warning to a generation tempted to soften the Gospel: do not be ashamed of Biblical Truth. Drawing from 2 Timothy 1:8–18, he exposes the spiritual dangers of fear and shame—both tools of Satan to silence the faithful. Dr. Youssef calls believers to resist cultural pressure, uphold the inerrancy of God’s Word, and never compromise the Gospel to gain approval. He reminds us that suffering for Christ is not defeat—it is glory. God has entrusted us with His Truth. We must guard it, proclaim it, and never retreat from it, regardless of the cost.
