Show Notes
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.

There will always be a seat for her at The Table, and we are so grateful for the profound conversations she has guided before she heads off to her next season. Learn more about your ad choices.
