Take Heart: A Biblical Vision for Growing Older, from Cradle to Grave

Aging in a fallen, broken world can be disheartening. Some of us try to deny the inevitable; others feel dehumanized by the troubles that afflict our bodies and minds. Most of us don’t start thinking seriously about aging, weakness, or decline until it’s forced on us. However, Scripture doesn’t treat these considerations as “later in life” topics. They are a significant aspect of what it means to be human right now. Whether we are in our teens, twenties, or twilight years, this session will consider how 2 Corinthians 3–4 offers a biblical vision for flourishing, showing us how to take heart as we steward our body and soul—from cradle to grave.
