In Encountering Christ, Dr. Michael Youssef presents four life-altering encounters with the living Christ—each exposing the depths of human need and the unmatched power of Jesus to save. From a shamed outcast to a proud religious leader, from a blind beggar to a wealthy ruler, each person is forever changed by one truth: Christ alone is the answer. With urgent clarity and Biblical authority, Dr. Youssef confronts sin, calls for repentance, and magnifies the divinity of Jesus. This series is a compelling invitation to surrender every idol, see with spiritual eyes, and receive the eternal life only found in the Son of God. Eternity hinges on how we respond to Him.

In this urgent opening to Encountering Christ, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals the devastating grip of sexual sin and addiction in today’s culture, likening it to a tidal wave of destruction. Yet he proclaims the eternal hope found in Christ’s redeeming power. Drawing from John 4, Dr. Youssef presents the radical encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman—a despised outcast imprisoned by shame and sin. Her story is not ancient history but a modern call to repentance, revealing how Christ alone can break the chains of bondage. This episode calls every listener to confront sin, trust the inerrant Word of God, and intercede for a world enslaved by counterfeit intimacy. Only Jesus offers living water—and He offers it today.
