Is there real, unmistakable evidence of saving faith in your life? In this bold 12-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef walks through the epistle of James to reveal what true, mature faith looks like in the life of the believer. Each message confronts the counterfeit comforts of empty religion and calls Christians to live by the inerrant Word of God—marked by repentance, perseverance, prayer, obedience, and holy living. From trials to temptations, from the use of our tongues to the posture of our hearts in prayer, James challenges us to examine whether our lives reflect the Gospel we claim. This is a call to authentic faith—proven, tested, and glorifying to Christ.

The eleventh evidence of true faith is patient endurance under God’s sovereign hand. From James 5:7–12, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to stand firm in suffering, trusting the sure return of Jesus Christ. Scripture is clear and unchanging: trials refine faith, not destroy it. Like the farmer, the prophets, and Job, God’s people must persevere without grumbling, repent of self-pity, and keep obeying while they wait. Christ is Lord, and His timing is perfect—even when pain lingers. This message urges believers to fix their eyes on the coming harvest, intercede faithfully, and live with holy urgency, knowing that God is at work behind the scenes and will reward steadfast faith.
