In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef tackles one of Jesus’ most difficult statements: “I did not come to bring peace, but a sword” (Matthew 10:34). With Biblical clarity and fearless truth, Dr. Youssef explains that Jesus was not speaking of inner peace—which only Christ gives to His followers—but of the outward division that results when the Gospel is rejected. Faith in Christ will cost us—sometimes even the peace of our closest relationships. Yet we are called to boldly confess Him, not water down His message. In a culture desperate for truth yet offended by righteousness, the believer must stand firm, pray for the lost, and never be ashamed of the Name that saves.  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
