Episode notes
What if the success you are chasing can never actually give you what you think it will?
In this second Cup of Grace in the Grind, Cody turns to Ecclesiastes and Solomon’s picture of life “under the sun” as hevel—vapor, mist, smoke. We chase bigger goals, better jobs, more comfort, and the next thing that promises to finally make us feel settled. But somehow, there is always another “next thing.”
This episode looks at the difference between working faithfully and asking work, success, or achievement to give us identity and peace. It also wrestles with obedience when following God does not make sense on paper, and why lasting meaning is found not in what we build, but in Who we build it for.
If you have ever reached a goal and still felt restless, this conversation is for you.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:2–3; Ecclesiastes 12:13–14; Deuteronomy 8:10–11; Colossians 3:23–24; Matthew 6:19–21; 1 Corinthians 15:58
