Summary
Through Ecclesiastes, the hosts teach that pleasure and worldly pursuits (career, wealth, relationships) leave us empty without Christ. True fulfillment comes only through sacrificing fleshly desires, pursuing obedience to God, and maintaining Jesus as the central affection of the heart.
Highlights
There is nothing that you should truly desire more than Christ. I'm saying that because I lived it.
You know that you're maturing as a follower of Jesus when your passion for him is growing more than your desire for pleasure.
The moment you feel like because of the things He's given me, I can't get to Him. I yell and I scream and I say, 'Take every bit of it away.' I am not going to have the blessings of God without having God.
