Coming off a break, we are so excited to get back to it and start Season 2 of Woven. This season kicks off with a series on Practicing Contentment. In this episode, we discuss a basic overview of contentedness and what is means to practice contentment as we age. We try to answer the question, "What does it mean to age gracefully and biblically?" Remember, contentment is an internal satisfaction which does not demand changes in external circumstances.
