Enjoy the Life You Have: Injustice, Mortality, and Everyday Wisdom | Ecclesiastes 8–10

Episode Overview How do we live well in a world that often seems unfair? In this episode we walk through Ecclesiastes 8 through 10. The Teacher faces the puzzle of authority and injustice—sometimes the wicked are honored and the righteous forgotten—yet he holds onto the conviction that, in the end, it will go well for those who fear God.
