In a youth-obsessed culture driven by anti-aging industries and a desire to move death offscreen, how can Christians embrace getting older as a sacred gift, privilege, and call to deeper spiritual maturity? In her final hosted episode, Kasey Olander is joined by Jen Wilkin alongside Bill Hendricks to explore a biblical theology of aging, the physical and emotional realities of decline, and the impending end-of-life care crisis facing the church. Join them as they discuss why all of life is caregiving, how numbering our days cultivates a heart of wisdom, and what it looks like to age with purpose and hope in Christ.
