Summary

In The Price of Conviction, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to embrace the will of God with full submission, even when it leads into hardship. Preaching from Acts 21, he shows how the Apostle Paul set his desires in neutral—ready to obey the Lord no matter the cost. This kind of obedience is not based on comfort or convenience, but on the Lordship of Christ. Paul knew persecution awaited him in Jerusalem, yet he went, trusting God’s voice above man’s opinion. Dr. Youssef challenges us to test the spirits, wait on God’s timing, and reject emotional manipulation that disguises itself as counsel. The will of God is never determined by ease—but by faithfulness to His Word. 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
