In this bold 12-part series, You Want Me to Do What?, Dr. Michael Youssef walks through the book of Joshua with uncompromising clarity and urgent Gospel Truth. From crossing the Jordan to conquering Jericho, from exposing hidden sin to building cities of refuge, God’s commands to His people are never optional—they demand obedience, faith, and courage. Each message reveals the unchanging character of God: just, merciful, faithful, and sovereign. Dr. Youssef challenges every believer to repent of compromise, trust God’s promises, and rise up as bold witnesses in a dark world. The call is clear—step out, stand firm, and tell the story of our covenant-keeping God.

In Part 11, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals the mercy of God through the cities of refuge in Joshua 20, pointing clearly to Jesus Christ. Scripture shows a holy God who values life, upholds justice, and provides grace for the guilty who repent. The cities of refuge foreshadow Christ, our Great High Priest, whose death fully satisfied God’s righteous judgment. Those who run to Him find forgiveness, freedom, and peace—there is no refuge outside of Christ. Dr. Youssef warns against running from conviction and calls believers to repentance and faith. He also charges every Christian to become a “runner,” pointing others to Jesus alone, the only true refuge for a lost and condemned world.
