ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Solomon had more wealth, wisdom, pleasure, and power than anyone in history, and he still called life "meaningless." In this first episode of our new Ecclesiastes series, Chasing After the Wind, hosts Jay Strother and Brian Ball dig into Ecclesiastes 1 to unpack why the world's biggest promises — success, comfort, approval, and security — always leave us wanting more. They trace Solomon's story from faithful start to idolatrous drift, explain the Hebrew word hevel (often translated "vanity" or "futility"), and point to the one hope that doesn't fade under the sun: the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether you're new to Ecclesiastes or have read it a dozen times, this conversation will help you see the book not as a threat, but as a gift.
