In Healthy Living in a Sick World, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly walks through 1 Corinthians to expose how the spiritual sickness infecting the church in ancient Corinth mirrors the moral confusion of our modern culture. This 21-part series confronts cultural compromise, spiritual apathy, and doctrinal distortion with the unchanging truth of God’s Word. From divisive pride to sexual immorality, from false teaching to financial idolatry, the Apostle Paul offers God’s antidote—holy living rooted in the resurrection power of Christ. Each episode calls believers to reject the lies of this age, return to sound doctrine, and stand firm in Gospel truth with urgency, courage, and uncompromising faith.

Liberty, Idolatry, and the Cross

In Part 14 of Healthy Living in a Sick World, Dr. Jonathan Youssef confronts the danger of abusing Christian liberty and the idolatry of self-centered living. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10–11, he calls the Church to flee compromise, reject legalism, and live in Christ-centered humility for the sake of the Gospel. Believers are warned not to treat Communion, Baptism, or freedom in Christ as a license to sin but to remember the Cross that bought their redemption. As darkness increases, our witness must shine brighter—not through isolation or hypocrisy—but by seeking the good of our neighbor and glorifying God in all things. This is the call of true discipleship: to die to self, love as Christ loved, and speak the Truth boldly to a lost world.
