Ecclesiastes 9:11–10:20 | Wisdom, Unpredictability, and the Choices That Define Us
Week ten of our series through Ecclesiastes finds us in some of Solomon's most honest — and most unsettling — territory. Life doesn't always go to the swift, the strong, or the smart. Sometimes the net drops without warning. Sometimes the snare comes out of nowhere. So what do we do with that?
In this episode, Mike sits down with Josh and the pastoral staff to unpack Sunday's message from Ecclesiastes 9:11–10:20. The conversation ranges from the surprisingly warm response Broadmoor has had to this often-overlooked book, to what it actually looks like to pursue wisdom before the battle starts — not in the middle of it.
The team also gets personal: What do you do when life doesn't turn out like you hoped or planned? Does wisdom come from experience, or does it come from truth — and is there a difference? And how does the gospel reshape our pursuit of wisdom, especially for those of us who are already looking back at foolish decisions we can't undo?
They also tackle one of the more provocative lines in the whole passage — Solomon's statement in chapter ten that money answers everything — and what he's actually saying (and not saying) there.
Plus, with mission teams in Phoenix, Atlanta, the Appalachian Trail, and England, the staff reflects on what it means to carry the gospel message into contexts far outside the Sunday morning comfort zone. And yes — the cat and the rotisserie chicken make an appearance.
