Aging Is a Discipleship Issue

Ads for age-defying miracle serums and facial treatments seem to pop up everywhere. The message is clear: to age is to be outdated, so do whatever you can to stay young. But this week’s episode of The Deep Dish offers a more beautiful and biblical view on bodies, aging, and youth. Listen in on this conversation with Melissa Kruger, Courtney Doctor, and Jen Wilkin. P.S. Loving these deep conversations? Get in on the fun—join us for The Deep Dish LIVE at TGC25 next month!
