At a time when we typically live longer than any generation before us, it seems all we want to do is preserve our youth. From hair dye to microblading, antiaging creams to botox, we negotiate with age through products, surgeries, and even downright denial.

In this panel discussion recorded at TGCW24, Courtney Doctor, Vanessa Hawkins, Melissa Kruger, Laura Wifler, and Jen Wilkin talk why a biblical perspective on aging means we don’t have to fear the years.
