Summary

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. If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support. https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at: https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way: https://www.ltw.org/donate
