In Counting Stars in an Empty Sky, Dr. Michael Youssef guides you through the faith-filled journey of Abraham—a man called to trust God when the promises seemed distant and the path was dark. Across this 10-part series, Dr. Youssef reveals how true faith clings to God’s Word, even when the visible evidence is gone. Through powerful teaching rooted in Genesis and pointing to Christ, each episode highlights God’s covenant faithfulness, the necessity of obedience, and the urgency of trusting God’s plan over our own. From the silence of waiting to the surrender of all, this series will challenge you to trust the God who sees, who provides, and who never fails to fulfill His promises.  

In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef warns believers against settling in “Haran”—the place of compromise that delays God’s best. Drawing from Genesis and Acts, he shows that partial obedience always leads to spiritual drift. Like Abraham, God calls His people to live as pilgrims, clothed in Christ’s righteousness and guided by God’s unchanging Word. True renewal never comes through comfort, tolerance, or half-hearted faith. It comes through repentance, holiness, and obedience to Jesus Christ alone. Dr. Youssef calls every believer to examine their heart, leave compromise behind, and intercede for revival. Counting stars—even when none are visible—is how God restores His people and puts them back on His path.
