“Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher. All is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 1:2 As a philosopher I have loved the great tradition of human wisdom. For many years I drank from the tributaries. Aristotle taught that the good life is something one lives, not something one acquires. Socrates taught that wisdom begins in humility. These insights nourished me long before I realized they were preparing me to recognize the far greater wisdom God has given in Scripture. The Greek thinkers stood downstream from a fountain they dimly sensed but could not reach. The book of Ecclesiastes speaks from that very source. Qoheleth, קהלת, the Assembler, often called the Preacher, gathers what God has revealed about life in this world. He describes the human condition with a single Hebrew word: hevel, breath, vapor. Not meaninglessness, but ungraspability - and paradox. Life slips through the fingers of those who try to seize it, and understanding reaches its limit in paradox. What cannot be possessed must be received. What we cannot control must become ours by gift. And this is why Ecclesiastes so often speaks the language of generosity. Work is a gift. Food and drink are gifts. Joy is gift. Companionship is gift. Time itself is gift. The Preacher calls us to leave behind the restless striving that characterizes life in the tributaries, and to return instead to the fountain where every good and perfect gift flows from the hand of the Giver. He also tells us something our age urgently needs to hear. There is nothing new under the sun. Our modern confidence in our own progress (central to the evolutionary mythos) is little more than hubris. We imagine ourselves advanced beyond our “primitive” forebears, yet our world repeats the same patterns of confusion and pride. Postmodern deconstruction, gender confusion, DEI initiatives, and cultural relativism are not new. They are ancient errors retold in new vocabulary. Ecclesiastes understood the human heart long before our age attempted to deconstruct it. Near the end of the book the imagery sharpens. “The words of the wise are like goads,” given by one Shepherd to guide us back toward the fountain of wisdom. When the risen Jesus confronted Saul and said, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads,” Paul, deeply trained in Greek language and philosophy, recognized the proverb immediately. The Shepherd's mercy often comes to us as a sharp turn, redirecting us from the dry channels of self-reliance back to the living waters of God Himself. The book ends where all honest searching must end. Fear God. Keep His commandments. Receive His gifts with gratitude. This is the whole duty of man, the culmination not only of the Bible's wisdom literature, but of every sincere philosophical quest. I wandered long among the tributaries, but Scripture led me home to the Fount of every blessing and tuned my heart to sing His grace. Here is a helpful overview of Ecclesiastes. May your listening be as blessed as ours was in the reading. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrsQ1tc-2w

How do we date in a world where privacy is fragile and connection feels digital? In this conversation, Jessica and Kelly explore the complexities of dating in the modern age, touching on the rise of Facebook Dating, the challenges of identity and privacy in the digital world, and the evolving nature of relationships. They discuss the importance of compatibility and companionship in marriage, reflecting on personal experiences and societal expectations surrounding dating and relationships. Inside This Conversation:  Dating is a challenging topic for many, especially for those re-entering the dating scene. Facebook Dating has gained popularity due to its integration with existing social networks. Privacy and data sharing are significant concerns in the digital age, especially with dating apps. The evolution of dating has shifted from traditional matchmaking to algorithm-based connections. Companionship and shared values are crucial for long-term relationships. The perception of dating has changed with the rise of technology and social media. Scams related to identity theft are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Support from tech companies, like Facebook, is often lacking when issues arise. Understanding compatibility is essential in finding a life partner. Marriage can evolve over time, with companionship becoming a key component.

Ambitious young women in Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad are striking "arrangements" with wealthy older men, trading companionship for designer bags, lavish getaways, and the financial freedom their entry-level gigs can't provide. This sugar daddy surge—fueled by skyrocketing living costs and social media's glossy allure—has young professionals whispering deals over chai lattes, all while dodging judgmental stares and familial expectations. It's a modern remix of romance, where emotional intimacy meets transactional thrill, but at what cost to authenticity?Globally, the commodification of connection echoes loudest in Japan's booming "Rent-A-Girlfriend" industry, spotlighted by the hit anime *Rent-A-Girlfriend*. Here, heartbroken salarymen and isolated youth shell out thousands of yen for curated dates—think hand-holding strolls and flirty banter—without the mess of real heartbreak, all to soothe the loneliness bred by brutal work cultures and demographic droughts.The series hilariously probes the blur between scripted affection and genuine sparks, raising eyebrows on whether paying for "perfect" love erodes our capacity for the raw, unfiltered kind—or just patches the voids of a swipe-right world.But flip the script to heartbreak's invoice, and the fantasy sours fast. Take the viral fury of a 34-year-old dumped after a decade-long romance: she blasts her ex for "stealing her childbearing years," demanding he bankroll IVF or egg freezing to offset the fertility clock he allegedly stalled with empty promises of family life. Social media erupts in backlash—"You chose him, own the clock!"—yet her plea spotlights a brutal truth: in this era of delayed milestones, time isn't just money; it's the ultimate non-refundable expense. As sugar highs crash into stolen timelines, is rented love liberation or a devil's bargain?

In our journey through Ecclesiastes, we're confronted with the stark reality of life's challenges and the seeming futility of our pursuits. The teacher reminds us that without God, our efforts are merely 'chasing after the wind.' But amidst this sobering message, we find a powerful truth: we're not meant to face life alone. The passage emphasizes that 'two are better than one,' highlighting the importance of community in our faith walk. This echoes throughout Scripture, with the concept of 'one another' appearing over 75 times. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can deepen our connections within our church family, supporting each other through life's trials. Are we truly living out the radically social nature of Christianity, or are we trying to navigate our faith in isolation?

I'm joined by Katie “Wildy” Brown—former Arizona Trail self-supported record holder and fresh off the Millwood 100, a 102-mile Wasatch linkup with ~37,000 feet of vert designed by Jared Campbell. We break down what Millwood actually is (route, not race), why she started at night, when the wheels got wobbly on night two, and how crew and pacers changed the game. Katie talks RUFA, Salt Lake's inversion (and why you literally run through it), and lessons from the mostly self-supported Plains 100—moon dust, SAR checkpoints, and an asthma scare at mile 100. We get into toughness vs. speed, route finding with cliff-band consequences, French-fry aid, ER-nurse night shifts, trail names (Wildy!), and why the Wasatch keeps calling her back.

In this episode, Avik Kandas engages in a heartfelt conversation with Leif Gregersen, a mental health advocate who shares his personal journey with bipolar disorder. They discuss the complexities of mental health, the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness, and how helping others can be a powerful tool for healing. Leif emphasizes the need for education and understanding in mental health, offering advice for families supporting loved ones and encouragement for those struggling with their mental health. The episode serves as a reminder that recovery is possible and that sharing our stories can foster compassion and connection. Takeaways Mental health journeys are deeply personal and often non-linear. Leif Gregersen's story highlights the importance of sharing experiences to educate others. Helping others can be a form of healing for oneself. Stigma surrounding mental illness needs to be addressed through open conversations. Education about mental health should be integrated into school curriculums. Companionship with others who understand mental illness is crucial for support. Recovery is a gradual process that requires persistence and support. Families should connect with support groups to better assist their loved ones. Compassion and understanding can bridge the gap between fear and acceptance. Mental health advocacy is essential for creating awareness and reducing stigma.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Mental Health Awareness 01:58 Leif's Journey: From Struggle to Advocacy 06:53 The Healing Power of Helping Others 10:16 Breaking the Stigma of Mental Illness 12:41 Advice for Families Supporting Loved Ones 13:53 Words of Hope for Those Struggling   Watch Video - https://youtu.be/sgS4ZPOi77o    Reach Leif: Website: www.edmontonwriter.com Substack: https://leifgregersen.substack.com   Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

Dave and Bethlie discuss the 4th book in this series. Solving Marriage Problems by Jay E. Adams. Chapter 1 p. 2. Husbands and wives must grow as individuals in conformity to Christ in order to be compatible with each other. What this book is all about? Marriage problems of all sorts. Causes of these problems Ways of detecting, categorizing, naming and describing problems in a biblical manner. Ways of reaching biblical solutions to marriage problems    Chapter 3 - What causes Marriage Problems? The basic cause is always sin. But sin manifests itself in two ways: in erroneous concepts and in sinful attitudes or practices p 11 Wrong living will be changed only by rooting out the fundamental cause in a person's thinking. P. 12 Correcting organic problems do not make everything better.  An organic problem may include bad attitudes to develop or cause a breakdown in communication.  Correcting the problem does not automatically correct the attitude and the communication. Those have to be corrected separately.   Chapter 4 - UnBiblical Concepts about Marriage The purpose of marriage is to meet man's need for companionship. Marriage was designed to defeat loneliness.  Companionship, therefore, is the essence of marriage. This is why fornication, adultery and polygamy are wrong. They vitiate true companionship because they destroy the intimacy of a constant, close relationship.   The Obligation of marriage is to vow to provide companionship for another for the rest of their lives.   It is not about receiving companionship but about giving it.
