All Is Vanity (Ecclesiastes-Inspired) | Draw Near to God + Poem Breakdown
Shirah Chante hosts the Teens Draw Near to God Poetry Podcast for teenagers, parents of teens, and anyone who wants to see teens reach their God-given destiny. Using James 4:8, she urges listeners to draw near to God with effort, describing faith as action and emphasizing that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. She challenges listeners to leave sinful habits and pursue a real relationship with Father God through prayer, Scripture reading, and prioritizing God like someone you pursue in a relationship. The episode introduces the poem/song “All Is Vanity” (inspired by Ecclesiastes 1), reads it aloud, and begins a line-by-line discussion, referencing King Solomon, money, wisdom, and the idea that everything in life fades except God’s Word and a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. She leads a salvation prayer, encourages starting in John chapter 3, and closes by inviting viewers to subscribe, share, and return for the continuation of the poem discussion.
