Hope + Help Podcast · Hope + Help for Aging Women with Sharon Betters & Susan Hunt

About the Episode

In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt about their book, Aging with Grace: Flourishing in an Anti-Aging Culture. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are:

• What does the Bible have to say about aging?
• What does Jesus Christ offer to the aging woman who is struggling with a sense of purposelessness in her life?
• What does it mean to “travel heavenward” as we age, and how can this biblical concept encourage us during seasons of grief and loss?
• What does fruitfulness and flourishing look like in our older years of life?
• Which biblical narratives are helpful for the aging woman who feels like it’s too late for God to use or redeem her?
• What are some practical questions we can ask ourselves to help maintain a biblical perspective on what’s going on in our lives as we age?

About the Book

Aging with Grace: Flourishing in an Anti-Aging Culture

There are many blessings that come with age: retirement, grandchildren, travel, and life experience. Today’s culture, however, marginalizes old age, often portraying it as burdensome and hopeless. Many older women can feel like an encumbrance rather than a blessing to their friends and family members. In response to these struggles, Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt encourage women to find hope through both real-life and biblical accounts of women who rediscovered gospel-rooted joy later in life. In each chapter, readers will be encouraged as they experience afresh a gospel that is big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious.
