Join us as Evan Alrutz continues our sermon series on the book of Ecclesiastes with a sermon entitled "Living Well in the Shadow of Death" from Ecclesiastes 9:1-10.

Ecclesiastes 9:1-18 ESV But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him. It is the same for all, since the same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As the good one is, so is the sinner, and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath. This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. But he who is joined with all the living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun. Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do. Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head. Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going. Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. For man does not know his time. Like fish that are taken in an evil net, and like birds that are caught in a snare, so the children of man are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them. I have also seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me. There was a little city with few men in it, and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siegeworks against it. But there was found in it a poor, wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that poor man. But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man's wisdom is despised and his words are not heard. The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

Are university students unhappy? We won't generalize, but many are, and this was something Bruce Hood noted. Being an experimental psychologist who teaches at the University of Bristol,  an opportunity presented itself. Why not start a course on the science of happiness, and while teaching it collect data from the students attending? The resulting course (created with advice from one his former students, Laurie Santos) proved popular, and Hood last year published a book, The Science of Happiness: Seven Lessons for Living Well. In this Social Science Bites podcast, Hood explains to interviewer David Edmonds the scientific basis of happiness, some details on how to measure it, and then some of those lessons for harvesting its benefits. Hood explains how scholarship has determined some genetic basis for happiness, how circumstances contribute to but don't dictate happiness, and how individuals focus more on the negative than the positive, which clearly not the most nurturing environment for happiness. There is a bias towards negativity, he says, “So that's why we know the negative things more quickly and more loudly than the positive.” That sounds bad (see – negative). But there's another bias at play, one that also favors optimism, that Hood attempts to harness. “So we tend to see the future as grim, and we have these distortions. But what's interesting, if you ask people, ‘Do you think to yourself individually you'll be better off in five years' time?' Then it seems to switch. People seem to say, ‘Yeah, I think I will be better.' So, it's a kind of interesting paradox that we think the world's going to hell in a basket. And yet, as individuals, we think things can get better.” Hood's research interests arose around the visual development of infants, and then evolved to include intuitive theories, self-identity, essentialism and the cognitive processes behind magical thinking in adults. It was in relation to those that Hood first appeared on Social Science Bites, addressing the human belief in the supernatural. You can listen to that podcast, and also enjoy a lovely Alex Cagan poster built around the episode.

Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is a crucial yet often overlooked component of gut health that can dramatically improve quality of life for people suffering from bowel issues, bladder problems, or pelvic pain.

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “How did I get here?” In today's message, Dr. John explores the quiet unraveling that can come from small compromises, as seen in the life of Lot. When we choose comfort over conviction, or distraction over devotion, we can drift far from the life God intended for us. But there is hope—even in failure. Join us as we reflect on the power of compromise, the promise of grace, and the call to return to living well.Confident Faith: In this 4-week series on Genesis 18-25, Dr. John Neufeld looks at the life of Abraham and unpacks the topic of faith. How is faith formed? How does faith mature? And how can faith help us trust in what God has promised, even though we can't see it yet?

In this talk at Living Well at the End of a World, James Hankins draws parallels between our contemporary anxieties about civilizational decline and the late medieval Renaissance period, specifically the 14th and 15th centuries, which also faced profound institutional crises. He highlights the humanist movement, spearheaded by Petrarch, as a historical response that sought societal reform by fostering virtue and wisdom in leaders through a renewed emphasis on classical learning. Hankins argues that the Renaissance represented a radical re-centering of civilization, advocating for a meritocratic leadership grounded in moral excellence and a commitment to community welfare.The Morningside Institute hosted a two-day conference on April 4–5, 2025. On its first day, the conference examined some of the radical changes that Western societies are undergoing. On the second day, we explored in greater detail historical examples of how communities have navigated periods of intense cultural change and even devastation.

This episode of The Happier Life Project explores the idea that living well might not come from doing more, achieving more, or constantly striving; but from embracing less. What if the key to a fulfilling life lies not in endless productivity, but in recognizing our limitations and finding peace in the life we already have? Bestselling author of ‘Four Thousand Weeks' and ‘The Antidote' Oliver Burkeman joins the show to talk about his newest release, ‘Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts'. A former Guardian columnist and contributor to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and New Philosopher, Burkeman is known for his deep, compassionate insights on time, mortality, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. This conversation delves into the psychological strain of relentless self-improvement, the illusion of ever having everything under control and being on-top of things, and the calm that emerges when we stop chasing the idea of finally having everything figured out. Burkeman challenges the very premise that life can ever be truly mastered, and the damaging belief that we're somehow incomplete until we do. Instead, he invites us to let go of the idealised life and begin a more liberating journey, grounded in acceptance and intention. Chatting to host Gabby Sanderson, Oliver shares how changing our relationship with avoided tasks can create a surprising sense of freedom, and how embracing our limitations can lead to greater clarity, connection, and purpose. The “recovering productivity geek” also reflects on why being truly present matters more than chasing endless to-do lists, why fearing the future is futile, and how accepting the limits of time might be the most liberating shift we can make. This episode offers grounded, thoughtful insights for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pace of modern life and looking for a calmer, more meaningful way to live.

These words aren't just philosophy—they're practical tools to help you live with more intention, patience, and peace.

Living alone with Parkinson's disease (PD) presents daily challenges, but it also offers certain benefits, such as the independence to control your own schedule. Whether you choose to live alone, or find that nearby friends and family aren't as close as you would like, there are resources to support you.    Living alone can also bring physical and emotional hurdles. You may experience feelings of isolation or loneliness, and everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning can become more difficult while juggling PD symptoms. There are strategies that can help you feel more secured and empowered to overcome these challenges. For example, you might consider using a food delivery service on days when preparing meals feels overwhelming, or reaching out to a neighbor for help with shoveling snow. It's important to prioritize self-care and recognize when it's time to ask for help.    In this episode, we speak with Susan Englander and Fran Chernowsky, two individuals living alone with Parkinson's who are also members of the Parkinson's Foundation PD Solo group. They share their experiences with the initial challenges of receiving a PD diagnosis, the importance of staying open and flexible to new things, and the value of finding a supportive community.    Follow and rate us on your favorite podcast platform to be notified when there's a new episode!

In his talk at Living Well at the End of a World, Bishop Erik Varden discusses the end of our “internal world”—the microcosm of human life—at the deathbed and the monastic venture to confront death and live well in the face of its inevitable appearance. Using the vita of Antony the Great by St. Athanasius as his exemplar par excellence of the monastic life, he discusses the creative subversion with which monasticism has repeatedly revitalized western civilization. He finally urges modern man toward the prayerful purpose, patient perseverance, and vicarious love that can reignite communal hope and purpose.The Morningside Institute hosted a two-day conference on April 4–5, 2025. On its first day, the conference examined some of the radical changes that Western societies are undergoing. On the second day, we explored in greater detail historical examples of how communities have navigated periods of intense cultural change and even devastation.

We live in a culture that encourages low focus, low attention, and low discipline in doing the hard stuff. To raise up our children well in a tech world requires a clear understanding of our goals, our priorities, and our plans.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/42uzQLg 

“France is Europe's most diverse, tasty, and exciting country to explore. It's a cultural bouillabaisse that surprises travelers with its varied, complex flavors.” —Rick Steves The rain in Bretagne/Brittany. The dry hot heat in Provence. The bustle of Paris. The butter in Normandy (and Brittany). I could go on and on about the specialty delights and signature details in each of the many regions of France because as many of you know who have had the special opportunity to spend time on the terra firma of France, France is full of wonder and deliciousness to savor. To have only remained in Paris is to have seen just one gorgeous, yes, indeed magnificent spectacle at the Olympics, so to speak. When we travel beyond the capital, we further deepen our appreciation for a country, as Rick Steves notes above that is diverse, tasty and exciting in ways unique to each region. Having just returned from my seventh trip to France, three of which gave me the opportunity to spend a great deal of time in four different regions of France, each time I visit I am reminded why the French culture resonates so sincerely with both my temperament but also my predilections as it pertains to passions and approach to daily life. Over the years here on TSLL I have written many posts sharing lists of what France has taught me, so I will refer you to those at the end of today's post as I will try not to repeat myself here today. No doubt all of those lessons remain present with each visit, but I want to share the new ahas that were unearthed on this particular trip taken just this past March for over two weeks - one week in Paris and one full week in north Brittany. Let's dive right in. Explore the full Show Notes on The Simply Luxurious Life blog - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast401
