Join Dr. Tony Young, Jr. on this inspiring episode of The Crucified Message as he shares a humorous story about temptation and dives deep into unlocking the power of prayer. Drawing from Scripture like Luke 18:1, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, James 5:16, and 2 Chronicles 7:14, Dr. Young reveals three essential truths every believer needs to know:
Prayer must be a priority—not just in trouble, but a daily lifeline, like breathing for the Christian life.
Prayer has real power when rooted in a righteous relationship with God, humbling ourselves, seeking His face, and turning from sin.
Prayer is a privilege—an invitation to connect with our sovereign God, changing us rather than informing Him, and equipping us to stand against the enemy with His Word.

Through biblical examples like Peter, Jabez, Paul and Silas, and Jesus' own temptations, you'll be encouraged to strengthen your connection with God, make prayer your first response, and experience His transforming power in everyday life.

This listener-supported ministry of Christ Gospel Church in St. Petersburg, Florida (led by Bishop Preston Leonard), is here to build bridges through love, compassion, and the Gospel. Learn more and support the program at ChristGospelStPete.org.

The Crucified Message

Unlocking The Power of Prayer

Welcome to The Crucified Message with Dr. Tony Young, Jr.—a weekly radio and podcast ministry of Christ Gospel Church of St. Petersburg, Florida, where Bishop Preston Leonard serves as International Bishop and Dr. Young is Executive Pastor.

In today’s powerful message, “Trust Him Anyway,” Dr. Young brings a timely word straight from Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.”

Life gets dark. The doctor needs more tests. The math isn’t mathing. The storm rocks the boat. But real faith isn’t built when the sun is shining—it shines brightest when the lights go out. Through heartfelt stories (a terrified little boy whispering for the mop, a GPS that recalculates, Joseph’s pit-to-palace journey, Paul and Silas praising in prison, and the famous wheelbarrow challenge over Niagara Falls), Dr. Young shows you exactly how to:

• Trust God with ALL your heart 
• Lean on His unlimited understanding instead of your own 
• Acknowledge Him in EVERY season 
• Believe He will bring you THROUGH—not around—the trial

Whether you’re tired, confused, hurting, or standing at a crossroads, this episode will strengthen your faith and leave you ready to declare: “I’m going to trust Him anyway!”

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!
