Hello, friend. You know, life isn’t always a stroll through a manicured garden; more often than not, we find ourselves living right on the ‘ragged edge.’ When I began our study of Ecclesiastes, I knew I didn’t want to just talk at you from a pulpit—I wanted to dig into the grit of real life with someone who has seen it firsthand.
That’s why I sat down with my dear friend, Johnny Koons. Johnny spent years in the high-stakes world of the funeral industry, and let me tell you, there are few places where the ‘vanity’ Solomon writes about becomes more apparent. In this video, we pull up a chair to discuss what happens when faith meets the hard surfaces of reality. It’s a candid conversation about life ‘under the sun,’ the importance of authentic companionship, and how we find meaning when things don’t go according to plan.
