What does it mean to truly follow Christ? In Discipleship 101, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims that no one can be a faithful disciple without rightly knowing who God is. Through four powerful messages, he unveils the foundational attributes of God revealed in Scripture: His sovereignty, His holiness, His guidance, and His love. This series calls believers to deeper surrender, greater obedience, and bold repentance—because the more we understand God’s character, the more we are transformed to reflect His glory in a dark and deceived world.

In this first episode of Discipleship 101, Dr. Michael Youssef lays a firm foundation for the life of a true disciple by proclaiming the absolute sovereignty of God. Without grasping this Truth, no believer can rightly understand who God is or walk in faithful obedience. Drawing from Ephesians 1:11 and the whole counsel of Scripture, Dr. Youssef shows that God’s authority rules over every detail of creation—nothing escapes His control. While human free will exists, it never overrides God’s purposes. This message confronts weak theology, calls for repentance from man-centered thinking, and declares that disciples of Christ must trust, submit to, and find security in the sovereign Lord who works all things for His glory.
