In David: Portrait of a Champion, Dr. Michael Youssef takes us through the amazing victories, tragic losses, and difficult trials of Israel’s greatest king. Learn why God called David a man after His own heart, and discover the change He wants to make in your heart, too.

In Champions Learn From Their Mistakes, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the destructive path of discouragement through the life of David in 1 Samuel 27. Instead of trusting God’s promises, David relies on human reasoning and seeks refuge among the enemies of God—plunging himself into disobedience, compromise, and deception. Dr. Youssef warns that spiritual defeat begins when we stop seeking God’s will and start justifying sin. Ziklag becomes a symbol of temporary comfort with deep spiritual loss. This message is a clarion call to repent, reject the lies of Satan, and return to the uncompromising Truth of God’s Word. True champions don’t make peace with sin—they confront it and walk again in the light of God’s favor.
