Based on Psalm 71, the Biblical Perspectives on Aging podcast is a weekly series of one-on-one conversations with Christian aging experts from The Baptist Home and other industry leaders who fearlessly apply biblical truths related to providing soul care to and advocating for the aging. Listen as host Dr. Andy Braams invites guests to share time earned insights on how to approach difficult aging topics related to sanctity of life, First Amendment rights, dementia care, Alzheimer’s, long-term care, memory care, Validation Therapy, aging ethics, and end of life issues in a Christlike manner for the Glory of God.
