Thanks for asking. The word “triumph” can be used as an intransitive verb meaning “to celebrate victory or success boastfully or exultingly.” In short, it means for it to prevail or exult.

Therefore, when I mean that I am “triumphing the gospel,” I am attempting to say that I am celebrating the successes of the gospel and exulting in the glorious reality it brings in my life. Triumphing the gospel is a prayer that the gospel will prevail in every area of my life, resulting in a boasting in the cross of Jesus Christ alone.

I hope that clarifies. I have been asked this question before, so I think I should write a post on this and include it in my “about” page (essentials).

Totally unrelated: I noticed that your blog subtitle says “triumphing the gospel” – is that intentional, or is it supposed to be “triumphing in/by/through/etc.? I only ask because I hate having typos on my own blog, ha ha.
