What if Christians have learned to expect defeat when Scripture teaches us to expect the victory of Christ’s kingdom?
“The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” — Habakkuk
2:14 In this episode of the Based Boomer Podcast, Mike DeVirgilio reflects on Iain Murray’s The Puritan Hope and the historic Christian confidence in the advance of the gospel. From the Puritans and the Great Awakenings to the rise of pietism, dispensational pessimism, and modern evangelical retreat, Mike examines how Christians came to expect less from the Great Commission—and why that needs to change.
Looking at Habakkuk
2:14, the kingdom of God, and Christ’s command to disciple the nations, Mike argues that Christians should reject an escapist view of the faith and recover confidence that Christ is reigning now, His gospel is powerful, and His purposes in history will not fail.
The Christian life is not about waiting for the gospel to lose. It is about living by faith rather than sight, building faithfully for generations to come, and trusting the promises of God.
Christ is King. His kingdom is advancing. The gospel wins.
