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 11 of The Secrets of Positive Living, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims that the God of the universe not only sees the sacrificial giving of His children—He appreciates it. Preaching from 2 Corinthians 9:6–15, he reminds believers that while the world hoards, true joy is found in cheerful giving. God responds with favor, provision, and answered prayer. He even allows His generous children to receive credit for the glory their obedience brings to Him. This is not about emotional flattery—it is about eternal rewards and divine intimacy. If we have truly received God’s indescribable gift of salvation through Christ, our lives must overflow with gratitude, obedience, and generosity that proves our faith is real.
