Why are we so often afraid of getting older, and how should our faith shape the way we view aging?
In a world that celebrates youth and often treats aging as something to resist, Scripture offers a different perspective. As Christians, we can approach each season of life with wisdom, gratitude, and confidence in God’s purpose for us. Rather than fearing the passing years, we can learn to see the value of every stage of life and the opportunities God gives us to grow in faith.
Watch a portion of this week’s series as David and Marci Wollen speak with Jen Wilkin about aging, the fears that often accompany it, and how we can approach the years ahead with a biblical perspective.
Dust to Dust: Aging Wisely in an Anti-Aging World
“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12, ESV).
What does that look like in real life?
In Dust to Dust, Jen Wilkin invites readers to see aging not as inevitable decline but as God’s good design. From body image to how we honor the elderly, she calls Christians to reject the world’s lies about aging and steward their days wisely. Written for any age, this book helps individuals and churches embrace each person’s worth as an image-bearer of God.
