The Crucified Message

A Peculiar People

Welcome to The Crucified Message with Dr. Tony Young Jr., a weekly radio and podcast ministry of Christ Gospel Church in St. Petersburg, Florida, where Bishop Preston D. H. Leonard serves as international bishop and Dr. Young as executive pastor. This listener-supported program builds bridges in our community through love, compassion, and mercy, inviting everyone to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and live as faithful stewards awaiting His return. Visit ChristGospelStPete.org for more about the church, services, and ways to connect.

In today's episode, titled "My Steps Are Ordered by the Lord", Dr. Young addresses those deep questions many face: Why am I going through so much? How did I end up here? What could I have done differently? And where do I go from here? Drawing from Psalm 37:23-25—"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread"—he explains that true goodness comes not from our own merit but from receiving Christ's redemption and relying fully on Him.

God has already ordered your steps before you were born—knowing every struggle, mistake, hurt, and detour—yet His grace ensures a path back to Him and an appointment with destiny. Whether facing divorce, financial hardship, addiction, abuse, or repeated falls, believers are troubled but not distressed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, cast down but not destroyed (2 Corinthians 4:8-9). God isn't just preparing blessings for you; He's preparing you for the blessings ahead, refining you on the Potter's wheel so you're ready for elevation, promotion, and His abundant life.

Dr. Young shares how biblical figures like David, Paul, Abraham, Joseph, and Noah waited through trials because God's timing is perfect. He encourages listeners: when you fall, stay down long enough to pray, for the Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up the humble. No matter your past, God knows your address, has protected you by His angels, and continues to order your steps toward breakthrough and purpose.

Join us in praising the One who orders our steps in His Word. If this message blesses you, support The Crucified Message at ChristGospelStPete.org or by mailing gifts to Christ Gospel Church, 2512 22nd Avenue South, St. Petersburg, FL 33712. Stay encouraged—your steps are ordered by the Lord!

My Steps Are Ordered By The Lord

In this encouraging episode, "It's Only a Test," Dr. Young explores Genesis 22:1–8, the profound story of Abraham's ultimate test: God's command to sacrifice his beloved promised son, Isaac. Through humor (like the ornithology student's clever feet-reveal protest), biblical insight, and practical wisdom, Dr. Young explains that life's challenges—job loss, pain, shame, or anything we hold dear (our modern "Isaacs" like careers, social media, children, or money)—are often divine tests to reveal our obedience, trust, and fear of God. Abraham's "crazy faith" declaration ("We will come back") and willingness to obey activated God's provision (the ram in the thicket), proving the teacher is always quiet during the test, but provision arrives on time when faith is activated. Dr. Young urges listeners to carry their own "wood" as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), surrender idols on the altar, and remember: whatever you're facing right now—sickness, heartbreak, delay—it's only a test! God is on time, faithful, and turning pain into provision, grief into gladness, and brokenness into blessing.

Join thousands finding strength and perspective through The Crucified Message. If you're in the midst of a trial, feeling overlooked, or questioning God's timing, this message reassures you: the Teacher is silent during the test, but He's preparing your breakthrough—your provision is coming up the other side of the mountain!

It's Only A Test

In this powerful episode, "Walking Into My Now" (subtitled "This Is My New Beginning"), Dr. Young draws from Isaiah 43:18–19 to declare that God is doing a new thing right now—not tomorrow, not when we're "ready," but in this present moment. Through inspiring truths, scriptural depth, and practical encouragement, he urges listeners to stop procrastinating, part ways with the past (letting go of regrets, shame, and old labels that have no power today), trust that the blood of Jesus still works for full cleansing and no condemnation, and embrace restoration where God repays lost years with interest. Blending declarations of faith, prayers for breakthrough, and reminders that what tried to destroy you developed you, Dr. Young calls believers to step boldly into their new season: speak life, surrender fully, declare promises like "I'm walking into my now," and watch God make ways in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. If guilt, delay, or past pain has held you back, this message is your divine appointment—your new beginning starts today!

Join thousands finding fresh hope and Holy Spirit empowerment through The Crucified Message. Whether you're facing transition, needing restoration, or ready for a fresh start, tune in for biblical encouragement that anchors you in God's present grace.
