Counting Stars Because God Said So

In this powerful opening message, Dr. Michael Youssef draws us into Abraham’s journey of faith—a path marked not by ease, but by obedience to the voice of God. Though Abraham had no map, no Bible, no church, and no stars to see, he trusted the Lord simply because God said so (Genesis 12). This is the essence of Biblical faith—believing and obeying God's Word even when the promises seem distant or impossible. Dr. Youssef urgently calls believers to leave behind the compromise of a "Haran" life, forsake mediocrity, and press into the higher calling of obedience. God's promises are certain—fulfilled supremely in Jesus Christ, the promised seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:16). Even when the sky appears empty, keep counting stars—because God's Word never fails. 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
