Fear God and Keep His Commandments: Wrapping Up Ecclesiastes

In the final episode of the Chasing the Wind series, Jay Strother and Brian Ball close out the book of Ecclesiastes with a look at chapter 12, verses 9 through 14, the passage where Solomon lands on his final word after chasing wisdom, pleasure, and everything under the sun. Jay and Brian walk through ten takeaways from the whole series, touching on the connection between Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, the honesty of the book's hardest verses, and why every pursuit apart from God is structurally incapable of satisfying us. They talk candidly about time, rest, gratitude, and legacy, and land on Solomon's closing charge: fear God and keep His commandments, because in the end, that's the whole of it.
