A Time for Everything (Ecclesiastes 3)

Hello, beloved one! Hope you had an amazing Monday and are ready to conquer this week.

I am very, very excited to share this week’s podcast with you guys because I so so enjoyed recording it. Maybe I just needed to talk through Scripture; maybe I had something on my heart I needed to share.

But this week, we’re getting back into the Ecclesiastes series with a look at Ecclesiastes 3. This is the passage about there being a time for everything. Read it to yourself in the morning, at the night, when you’re really struggling; read it loudly, read it quietly. Realize that seasons of life are natural and take focused introspection.
