What does it mean to live in true spiritual freedom? In Got Freedom?, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly proclaims the liberating power of the Gospel as revealed in Paul’s epistle to the Galatians. With unwavering commitment to Biblical Truth, Dr. Youssef exposes the dangers of legalism, false teaching, and self-reliance—calling believers back to the sufficiency of Christ’s finished work on the Cross. This nine-part series unveils the radical contrast between living in the flesh and walking by the Spirit. As Dr. Youssef makes clear, freedom in Christ is not permission to sin—it is the power to live in holiness. Through repentance, surrender, and Spirit-filled obedience, believers can experience the victorious, transformed life God has promised.  

Got Freedom? (Part 2)

The Bondage of People-Pleasing

In Part 2 of Got Freedom?, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the spiritual trap of people-pleasing and declares the liberating power of God’s grace. Drawing from Galatians 1:10–24, Dr. Youssef reveals how self-pleasing and man-pleasing are chains that only the Gospel can break. He boldly contrasts Paul’s former life of legalistic ambition with the freedom he found in Christ—freedom that led him to live as a servant of God, not man. This episode challenges every listener to examine whom they are trying to please—and to repent if their loyalties lie anywhere but with Christ. True Christian freedom is not a license to sin, but the power to live for God alone.
