[00:00:04]Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, Justin and I continue our conversation about end times theology.

[00:00:10]And this time, we're talking about something that, well, it tends to be more optimistic.

[00:00:15]Transformationalism, Christian nationalism, really a misplaced zeal where we are thinking the culture should be changing and progressing towards Christianity.

[00:00:25]But is that what scripture really teaches?

[00:00:27]Justin and I want to look at this from a reformed and pastoral perspective.

[00:00:31]We definitely bring in two kingdoms as a play in the opposite direction.

[00:00:35]We hope this is encouraging to you.

[00:00:37]Stay tuned.

[00:01:09]Conversations about the Christian life from a reformed, pastoral, and confessional perspective.

[00:01:15]If you want to know what we're trying to do here, we are trying to clarify the gospel and reclaim the purpose of the kingdom.

[00:01:20]And that's a big one today, kingdom.

[00:01:22]So stay tuned for that.
