In today's episode, titled "Growing Old Gracefully," hosts Ridley Barron and Dan Sanchez dive deep into the topic of aging with grace and purpose. Ridley, drawing from a sermon he recently delivered on the life of Jacob, delves into the factors that contribute to growing old gracefully, such as perspective and priorities. They explore the challenges faced by many as they age, the disappointment from unfulfilled dreams, and the transformative power of aligning one's priorities with God's desires.
