Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Christ with coffee on ice. I am your host,

Ali Yost, and it is a joy and honor to be here with you guys. Hi, everyone. Happy Friday.

I am at my favorite day of the week. Aren't we all? Friday, yes. Also, we get to hang out, yes. We get to

just yap about Jesus. Yes, best day ever. best day ever so welcome guys yeah today is going to be

a really special day we're going to be reading some scripture which we haven't done in a few weeks

this is fun because I actually had never fully read this book up until a few days ago I read the

whole book on it's not a long one, to be honest,

but I read it on one of my flights that I took this month. I've been traveling quite a bit, which has been so fun, but also a little tagging. I think I just overbooked myself this month. I think I really did. I got really ambitious. I don't know if you guys relate to that, where you get excited and you just like book up your calendar and you're like, this is going to be so fun, so exciting.

I know that for a fact, I didn't ask Jesus where you get excited and you just like book up your calendar and you're like, this is going to be so fun,

so exciting. I know that for a fact, I didn't ask Jesus about every single thing I committed to. Otherwise, I don't think I'd be feeling so overwhelmed. I think there were things that I definitely should have said yes to you and then other things I should have just maybe postponed for another time instead of committing to all of it in the month, but it's fine. I'm managing. But yeah, so I've been traveling quite a bit. I've been on a lot of planes this month. And so when I was on one of them, I read this whole book. And I was like, why is this, I'm sorry, why is it taking me so long to read the book of Ecclesiastes? So that's what we're going to read today. Did I say that right? I did. I think I think I did. great book filled with wisdom. It kind of reminds me of like the proverbs a little bit, which I don't know. Proverbs are right before it. But anyway, we have our Christ. Yeah, we do. Yeah, we do. And we have our coffee on ice today. By this time in the day, guys, my coffee always looks so watered down and just, you know, it is what it is. That's a part of the brand at this point. It's a part of the brand is the watered down coffee on ice. You guys are so funny. Sometimes I'll have you guys tagging me and stuff or I'll see comments. Like people will be posting TikToks and they'll be like, oh my gosh, my favorite podcasts. and then you guys will tag or you'll be like, Christ on Ice by Ali. And I'm like, that is so funny to me because if we really think about it, I'm like, I'm like, you guys, we're not putting Jesus on any ice. We're not going to do that today. We're not going to do that tomorrow. But I guess, yeah, I don't know, it's a tongue twister for sure. Like Christ with coffee on ice, sometimes the quicker way to say that is just Christ on ice.

But when we really hear what we're I guess, yeah, I don't know, it's a tongue twister for sure. Like, Christ with coffee on ice,

sometimes the quicker way to say that is just Christ on ice. But when we really hear what we're saying, maybe we don't do that. We don't need to do that. We don't need to put Jesus on any ice. Anyway, or maybe he's ice skating. What's that? Okay, we're going to move on. Guys, I'm going to read the book of Ecclesiastes to you, and I would love for you to join me.

I'd love for you to join me.

And take out your own Bible and study it and read it. Guys, I'm going to read the book of Ecclesiastes to you, and I would love for you to join me.

I'd love for you to join me and take out your own Bible and study it and read it and highlight it and do all the things you need to do.

As I always say, when we do these episodes where we're just reading scripture, I do think it's the most impactful when we get to physically read along.

But if you're not in a place to do that,'s okay i'm happy to just read it to you i have

the nltie translation that is the bible that i use the version the translation that i use also my

bible is from hosanna revival is where i've gotten my bible from i get a lot of questions still

and so i will always plug that i love them i also have also have a code with them. It's just my first and

last name, Allie Yost. And so you can save on their Bibles, their journals. They have, like, it's so cute. It's definitely more girly. But like this has to be one of the most beautiful Bibles I've ever owned and I love her. So anyway, that's all the details on the Bible that I use daily. But we're going to start right from the top, you guys.

So this is Ecclesiastes 1, right at the beginning.
