#51 The Mountain & The Man

Have you ever felt like your job description should just read "Professional Button Pusher" or "Master of Spreadsheet Cells That Nobody Reads"? Maybe you've caught yourself practicing your Oscar speech for "Best Performance in a Zoom Meeting While Actually Doing Laundry," or realized your greatest career achievement this week was not getting yelled at by the customer waiting for their coffee order. If you've ever stared into the abyss in your Chipotle apron at 3 PM on a Wednesday, questioning if under-scooping customers asking for grilled chicken is really what you were put on this earth to do, you're not alone. Even Solomon felt this way – and he was running an entire kingdom.

In this episode, Andrew & Zach dive into the first two chapters of Ecclesiastes, where "the Preacher" basically invents the mid-life crisis and takes it to a whole new level. We're tackling the big questions: Why does your workplace achievement feel empty even after you get that promotion? How come mountains get to stick around for thousands of years while your "groundbreaking" idea for management will be forgotten by Tuesday? And most importantly, how does God transform our seemingly pointless Monday-to-Friday grind into something meaningful? Join us for the convo that you didn't ask for, but probably need to hear --  part biblical wisdom, part humor therapy session, and part reminder that yes, your job matters – just maybe not in the way you think it does.
