Episode Summary
We’re back! Aaron and Ashley return to the studio to continue our Ecclesiastes journey—this week unpacking chapters 5–6. We talk about living with reverence, letting your “yes” be yes, why the tongue can set whole lives ablaze (hi, James 3 👀), and how chasing money and “more” never satisfies. Plus: a big announcement—our family has been invited to serve with missionaries in Brazil for a month (shooting for March, God willing—otherwise October). We’ll share testimony videos soon and how you can partner with us.
Why listen? If you’re tired, busy, or feel stuck on the treadmill of “more,” this conversation will re-center you on Jesus, rest, gratitude, and faithful speech.
Key Takeaways
Guard your steps as you approach God—live with expectancy and integrity (Eccl. 5:1).
Let your words be few—our tongues can bless or burn (Eccl. 5:2; James 3).
Keep your vows—let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no (Eccl. 5:4–6; Matt. 5:33–37; Acts 5).
Money won’t satisfy—the love of it steals sleep and joy (Eccl. 5:10–12; Luke 12:16–21).
Enjoy God’s gifts—work, rest, and gratitude are from His hand (Eccl. 5:19–20).
Life is fleeting—so pursue Jesus, store treasure in heaven, and live transparently (Eccl. 6; Phil. 1:21).
Scripture References
Ecclesiastes 5–6; James 3; Matthew 5:33–37; Acts 5:1–11; Luke 12:16–21; Philippians 1:21
