In his series, Looking Up When Life’s Got You Down, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that we do not have to become disillusioned with life because God has a tremendous plan in mind for our lives. He can turn even the most difficult circumstances into places of blessing. Using the life of the Apostle Paul as a framework for the series, Dr. Youssef reminds us that the God of all comfort will meet every need we have.

In A Pattern for Revival, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly exposes the counterfeit of “pigeon religion”—a powerless, man-centered imitation of true faith—and calls believers to walk in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Preaching from Acts 13, he outlines three marks of genuine Holy Spirit awakening: full surrender to the Spirit’s leadership, unwavering commitment to Biblical Truth, and steadfastness in the face of opposition. Revival does not come through entertainment or softening the Gospel, but through repentance, obedience, and bold proclamation of Jesus Christ. This message reinforces the series’ call to trust God’s purpose even in hard times, knowing that He alone brings power, purity, and direction through His indwelling Spirit.
