Though the book of Ecclesiastes was written long ago, the author’s message couldn’t be more relevant. His ancient voice of despair is echoed by countless intellectual and cultural elites in our era.

Over the next seven days, hear from pastor Dave Furman, author of Kiss the Wave, as he encourages us to run to—and not away from—the God of our circumstances.
