In Empowered by Praise, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to recover the power of Biblical praise—not as a feeling, but as a faithful response to the majesty of God. Rooted in the inerrancy of Scripture and the supremacy of Christ, this six-part series reveals that praise fuels victorious living, deepens intimacy with the Lord, and strengthens intercession in the spiritual battle. Through the example of King David and the revealed names of God, Dr. Youssef shows that true praise flows from a surrendered heart and results in joyful obedience and sacrificial giving. If your prayer life is weak or your witness ineffective, this series will equip you to overcome fear, pride, and spiritual apathy by exalting the Name above all names. Praise is not optional—it is the believer’s lifeline to power, purity, and Gospel impact.

In Antidote to Pride, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts a sin that touches every heart—pride. Rooted firmly in the inerrant Word of God, this message contrasts King David’s humble, God-exalting praise with Michal’s self-centered pride. When David praised the Lord with all his might, he laid aside his status to honor God alone. Michal’s pride, however, robbed her of joy, blessing, and spiritual fruit. Dr. Youssef warns that pride quenches praise, weakens prayer, and dulls witness. True praise demands repentance, surrender, and humility before the Lord Jesus Christ. Only a praise-filled life, offered as a sacrifice, destroys pride and restores power for intercession and faithful Gospel witness.
