Listen "S5EP24 - Is work "meaningless"?"

Episode Synopsis

Ecclesiastes tells us that work and toil are "meaningless" - fleeting, elusive, hevel. If that's the case, then why work at all? Join Jack and Sam as they delve into this and other conundrums, answering your questions about Ecclesiastes 2:17-26, including:
- Does "work" just mean paid work or does it include things like house work, gardening, and raising children?
- Is Ecclesiastes meant to be depressing or liberating?
- How do I hold work lightly, but also work at it wholeheartedly as Colossians 3 calls us to?
- Are "work for the Lord" and "the work of the Lord" mutually exclusive?
