In this nine-part series, Michael Youssef reminds us that God’s Spirit indwells in every believer. Therefore, His fruit — the fruit of the Spirit — is not just a list of behaviors we practice each day, but tools that God has given to be used on a regular basis for our good and His glory.

In this sixth message of Spirituality That Heals, Dr. Michael Youssef declares that true goodness—”agathos“—is not superficial niceness or self-serving generosity, but the Spirit-empowered overflow of a heart transformed by Christ. Drawing from Galatians 5, he exposes how our culture disguises evil with a mask of false goodness. But Biblical goodness, rooted in the character of God, manifests as bold, selfless generosity and unwavering integrity. Dr. Youssef challenges believers to repent of spiritual apathy, refuse counterfeit virtue, and be filled daily with the Holy Spirit. Only then can we reflect the goodness of our Savior and bear fruit that confronts evil and glorifies God.
