The Test Drive of Pleasure (Spoiler: It’s Still Vanity)
Description
Aaron and Ashley are back at it again, digging into Ecclesiastes Chapter 2—and let’s just say, Solomon would’ve been the original “go big or go home” guy. Mansions? Vineyards? Pools big enough to water a forest? Check. A comedy binge followed by too much wine? Also check. But in the end? It was all just… chasing the wind.
This week we unpack:
Solomon’s “pleasure experiment” and why laughter and libations don’t deliver lasting joy.
How his orchards and palaces point to humanity’s endless cycle of “bigger, better, more.”
Why earthly rewards will never outlast the reality of death (yep, cheery stuff).
The true inheritance worth leaving behind (spoiler: it’s not a trust fund).
How Jesus flipped the script on everything Solomon was searching for.
And of course, we sprinkle in some humor about epoxy that still won’t dry, coffee obsessions, and what happens when flowers start “toiling and spinning.” (Trust us—you’ll never look at your garden the same way again.)
