Solomon challenges something that many of us in the modern Church can easily overlook, and I think it’s this idea of living in light of eternity. How are we to live when we know this world is fleeting? Let's talk about it. #Ecclesiastes9 #Ecclesiastes10 ABOUT KIRA GAUTHIER: Join the journey as this Seattle-raised Christ-follower shares what it is like to love Jesus and love people in a secular city.

What does it mean to follow a King in a world that doesn’t trust authority? In Solomon's day, he saw power abused repeatedly, and we still experience moral failures of our leaders today. But here's the thing, Jesus isn't just a better King, but He's the ultimate King. He's not a distant tyrant, but the most glorious, gracious, and worthy King your heart could ever know. Let's talk about it. #Ecclesiastes8ABOUT KIRA GAUTHIER: Join the journey as this Seattle-raised Christ-follower shares what it is like to love Jesus and love people in a secular city.

You can chase wisdom. You can build a platform. You can fill your life with relationships, experiences, pleasure, and wealth, but none of it will satisfy the ache in your soul. You don't have to be religious to see this. You know it. And this same truth was also realized by Solomon. This life can't fulfill you, but Jesus can.

Life feels crooked, sometimes bent by sorrow, injustice, and questions we can’t answer. In #Ecclesiastes7, Solomon invites us to slow down and consider the work of God. What do we do with a world we can’t fix, hearts we can’t heal, and pain we can’t escape? We remember that Jesus is the straight path.

What if sorrow isn’t something to numb, escape, or avoid, but something that can actually shape you for the better? These moments aren’t good, but that doesn’t mean God can’t exercise His goodness through them.

We chase the dream job, the car, the house, the life—and sometimes we even get it. So why do we still feel empty? This is the tragedy of life. We can get everything we want and never taste the freedom, content, and satisfaction our souls are searching for. What then can fill us?

We keep our minds open just in case something better shows up. But what if the very thing we’re holding out for has already arrived? Solomon not only wrestles with that tension in #Ecclesiastes5, but he will point you to the better offer: the best offer.

Screens can’t give us what our souls really crave. We scroll, we text, we “connect”—but we’re still lonely. #Ecclesiastes4 names that ache and points to a deeper truth: we were created for relationship. The Christian worldview doesn’t just explain our longing for connection—it offers a better way. Let's talk about it.

If there’s no God, why do we care so much about justice, love, and meaning?

If you’re skeptical about the Bible, this episode might surprise you. #Ecclesiastes2 isn’t a list of religious rules—it’s a brutally honest reflection from a man who had it all…and still hated life. Solomon chased pleasure, built empires, and achieved everything—and still ended up saying it was empty. This episode explores why the “good life” might not be as good as it seems—and what our souls actually crave.

If you’ve ever asked, “What’s the point of all this?” — you’re not alone. If you’ve chased success, pleasure, wisdom, or even self-mastery and still felt empty…maybe, just maybe, the problem isn’t you.

Many assume that the Bible we have today is the result of the "telephone game," where the original message inevitably becomes distorted over time.

Many will make the claim based on #James2 that Paul and James were at odds with one another, but this is absolutely false; here's why. Paul addresses how we are saved, while James addresses what it means to identify as saved and how submitting to Jesus’ Lordship shapes our lifestyle. Let me explain.

Sometimes I fall into the trap of believing desire and sin are not that threatening, serious, or life-wrecking and it shows most often when I find myself frolicking in the grey area or sweeping sin under the rug and justifying it.

I promise you, your agenda, your goals, it’s never worth disobedience to God. This is the polar opposite of what we see through Paul. Paul knows that no matter what he faces, it’s worth it in God’s Kingdom. And so even in the face of discouragement, danger, and death threats, Paul remained steadfast. He was fully committed to the mission, to the gospel, and trusted that God would use his faithfulness for His Kingdom.
