[00:00:02]Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are talking about triumphalism, or what is also known as the victorious Christian life.

[00:00:10]We're always encouraged by modern evangelicalism that there should be an upward trajectory to our Christian life, that we should be overcoming sin and gaining new levels of righteousness as we grow year after year.

[00:00:22]And yet, that is not the experience of many Christians.

[00:00:25]They feel defeated, they lack assurance, they do not have joy.

[00:00:30]And we are here to bring some relief, to show you from scripture what the Christian life should be and how triumphalism and the victorious Christian life is a distraction and actually robs us of the true hope and assurance

[00:00:41]we should have.

[00:00:42]We hope you enjoy.
