How to Catch It

In this opening message of It’s Contagious, Pass It On, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly declares that true joy is not found in fleeting happiness but in an unbroken relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Drawing from Philippians 1:1–11, he exposes how sin, disobedience, and worldly distractions rob believers of the joy that is already theirs through salvation. With clarity rooted in Scripture, Dr. Youssef reminds us that joy is a gift of the Holy Spirit—secure, eternal, and inseparable from Christ Himself. When nothing stands between the believer and Jesus, joy overflows, faith strengthens, and fruit abounds. This is the contagious joy of salvation—anchored in obedience, sustained by the Spirit, and fixed upon eternity.  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
