Ecclesiastes Week 2 with Scott Sauls

For week 2 of our Ecclesiastes study, Raechel and Amanda are joined by SRT podcast alum, pastor Scott Sauls. This week’s reading has a lot to say about money and wealth, so the group follows suit, tackling this tough-to-talk-about topic together. They discuss the relationship between wealth and loneliness, the necessity of community, and the freedom found in knowing we’ve always only had one Provider. Along the way, they also chat about porch proms in the time of COVID, the wonderful obliviousness of nature, and Scott’s favorite book of the Bible.
