In The Cure to Loneliness, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts one of the most widespread spiritual crises of our time: loneliness. Drawing from Scripture—from Genesis to the Gospels—he exposes the root causes of loneliness, whether it stems from sin, suffering, self-pity, grief, pride, or isolation. With urgent clarity, Dr. Youssef proclaims that no human solution can mend the soul’s emptiness—only Jesus Christ can. This series calls every believer to repentance, restoration, and deeper fellowship with Christ and His Body, the Church.

In this third message from The Cure to Loneliness, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts two spiritual traps that isolate the believer: the loneliness of service and the loneliness of self-pity. Drawing from Numbers 11 and 1 Kings 19, Dr. Youssef exposes how godly leaders—like Moses and Elijah—faced deep despair not from failure, but from obedience. Leadership often means standing alone, misunderstood and criticized, even after great victories. Yet God never calls His servants to bear the burden alone. Dr. Youssef urgently warns that self-pity robs believers of perspective, patience, purpose, and fellowship. But the answer is not found in human solutions—it is found in crying out to the Lord, trusting His Word, and obeying His voice, even when it comes as a gentle whisper.
