In a world plagued by anxiety, division, and self-reliance, the contagious joy of the Lord Jesus Christ stands as a powerful witness to the Truth of the Gospel. In It’s Contagious, Pass It On, Dr. Michael Youssef leads you through the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians—a bold call to rejoice not in circumstances, but in Christ alone. This eight-part series confronts the enemies of joy: pride, fear, bitterness, and false teaching. You will learn how to catch the joy of salvation, guard it through obedience, and pass it on through faithfulness and sacrificial living. Rooted in Scripture and driven by urgency, this series calls every believer to reflect the joy of Christ and proclaim His victory to a lost world.

In this second message of It’s Contagious, Pass It On, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the spiritual battle to keep our joy amid suffering, persecution, and uncertainty. Preaching from Philippians 1:12–26, he exposes four enemies of joy—imprisonment, slander, fear of death, and the unknown will of God—and shows how none of them can overcome a heart anchored in Christ. Joy is not tied to outward peace but to inward obedience. When Jesus is our focus, even death becomes gain. The message rings clear: Satan cannot steal what God has sealed. Those who walk in repentance, trust in the Word, and live for the glory of Christ will possess an unshakable joy that no earthly threat can remove.
