🎙️ Episode Title: "Watch Your Worship"
📖 Ecclesiastes 5:1–7

In this episode, we explore the sacred weight of worship through the lens of Ecclesiastes. “Watch Your Worship” calls us to approach God not with careless words or empty rituals, but with reverent hearts and humble spirits. The Preacher warns against hasty vows and thoughtless prayers, reminding us that God is in heaven—and we are not. This sermon invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and let our worship be marked by awe, honesty, and holy fear.

🕊️ A timely call to re-center our hearts before the One who deserves our full attention

Loneliness isn't just a passing emotion—it’s a spiritual ache. In “Always Better Together,” we step into Solomon’s reflections on injustice, isolation, and the redeeming gift of companionship. These verses echo the heartbreak of the oppressed and the futility of striving alone, yet they crescendo into one of Scripture’s most tender reminders: “Two are better than one.”

This episode unpacks the power of shared burdens, mutual encouragement, and the resilience that comes from unity. Whether you're tangled in toil, craving connection, or standing on the edge of burnout, there's strength in the simple truth that we were never meant to walk alone.

🪢 “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Let’s explore how God-designed togetherness strengthens every step.

What if every season—joy and sorrow, birth and death, building and letting go—was part of a divine cadence? In “The Rhythm of Time,” we listen closely to the poetic pulse of Ecclesiastes 3, tracing God's presence through the passing moments we often rush or resist. From the mystery of eternity planted in human hearts to the humility of returning to dust, this episode reflects on the tension between timeless purpose and fleeting breath. It’s not just time we’re measuring—it’s meaning.

In this episode, we follow the Teacher’s pursuit of fulfillment through breathtaking achievements—gardens planted, houses built, watercourses crafted. But behind the grandeur lies an unsettling truth: the longing for more never ends. “The Myth of More” peels back the illusion of satisfaction in success, challenging us to ask whether our deepest desires can ever be met by what we build. Let this reflection disturb and awaken something more enduring within you. Pastor Charlie teaches at Walnut Creek Mennonite Church in beautiful Holmes County, OH.

🎙️ Podcast Episode: The Echo of Empty
📖 Ecclesiastes 1:1–11

In this contemplative episode, we dive into the haunting poetry of Ecclesiastes and confront its provocative claim: “Meaningless, meaningless… everything is meaningless.” Through imagery of wind, water, and weary cycles, “The Echo of Empty” explores the ache behind human striving and the sobering question: what endures? Join Pastor Charlie as we peel back layers of vanity to find not despair, but the first whisper of holy longing. Pastor Charlie is the lead pastor at Walnut Creek Mennonite Church in beautiful Holmes County, OH.
