It's Okay to Sit in the Question | Ecclesiastes 1

This episode

Ecclesiastes begins with a question many of us eventually ask: What is all of this for? We work, build, learn, grow older, and eventually disappear, while the world keeps moving without us. The Teacher looks honestly at the repetition of life and refuses to offer an easy answer. That honesty is part of what makes Ecclesiastes so powerful. Faith doesn’t require us to pretend that life always makes sense. Sometimes the search for meaning begins by admitting that the things we thought would satisfy us don’t.
