Welcome to Marriage Day podcast. I'm Jimmy Evans, and I'm thrilled to have you join us for today's episode. Let's get started.

Okay. I'm Jimmy Evans, and I'm thrilled to have you join us for today's episode. Let's get started. So in this message, we're going to talk about success and failure. The world has a way to think

about success. We've got to change our minds. We have got to relearn what success means

from a biblical perspective. Let me begin by talking about the world's

definition of success. And I'm going to give you seven things that the world says if you have

these things you're successful. Okay, the first is financial prosperity. I think we all agree with that.

Having enough money to possess everything you to desire and care for others.

In fact, for a lot of people in the world, that's kind of the only standard.

Nothing else matters as long as you have money.

Number two is popularity in favor, either through physical attractiveness, personality, talent,

or some other means being known, accepted and and well liked by people. A lot of people

sell their souls. Three is power and influence. Social, financial, and or spiritual rank,

Number four, relational happiness.
