In this episode, we follow the Teacher’s pursuit of fulfillment through breathtaking achievements—gardens planted, houses built, watercourses crafted. But behind the grandeur lies an unsettling truth: the longing for more never ends. “The Myth of More” peels back the illusion of satisfaction in success, challenging us to ask whether our deepest desires can ever be met by what we build. Let this reflection disturb and awaken something more enduring within you. Pastor Charlie teaches at Walnut Creek Mennonite Church in beautiful Holmes County, OH.

🎙️ Podcast Episode: The Echo of Empty
📖 Ecclesiastes 1:1–11

In this contemplative episode, we dive into the haunting poetry of Ecclesiastes and confront its provocative claim: “Meaningless, meaningless… everything is meaningless.” Through imagery of wind, water, and weary cycles, “The Echo of Empty” explores the ache behind human striving and the sobering question: what endures? Join Pastor Charlie as we peel back layers of vanity to find not despair, but the first whisper of holy longing. Pastor Charlie is the lead pastor at Walnut Creek Mennonite Church in beautiful Holmes County, OH.
