Anna is one of the Bible's most unusual women. She, along with a man named Simeon, had spent a lifetime in loyal service to God and was finally able to meet her Messiah.

On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent, we explore one of life's most avoided topics: death and dying.We'll listen to a recent sermon from Chap where he talks about how Christians shouldn't fear talking about our final departure and what it means to "run through the tape" rather than coast into the finish line. We examine five biblical principles for facing old age and death with faith and joy, drawing from Paul's final words in 2 Timothy 4. We discuss how death is not the end but a portal to something better, why we should anticipate suffering in our final years, and how to keep our eyes fixed on Christ and heaven even as our bodies decay. We also wrestle with the physical, emotional, and social suffering that comes with aging, and why we should strive for joy instead of becoming sour in our later years.This conversation challenges us to develop a biblical strategy for finishing well, longing for heaven, and glorifying God even in our dying.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Luke 2:10-11 - The Christmas Announcement Romans 15:13 - I Am Praying for You Isaiah 9:6 - I Am Praying for You No Episode on Christmas Day Psalm 92:12-14 - I Will be Fruitful in my Old Age

Today's Promise: Psalm 92:12-14 What does it really mean to flourish as a follower of Christ? Especially when life is hard and the years are passing? Scripture gives us a powerful promise: God's people are not destined to fade, but to thrive.   In today's episode, we turn to the words of the psalmist, who paints a vivid picture of the life of those who have been made righteous through faith in Christ. He highlights four remarkable truths God promises to His people. Like a palm tree, you can flourish even in harsh conditions. As you walk faithfully with the Lord, you can remain strong when others falter.   You are invited to live daily in the presence of God, rooted in His house. And perhaps most encouraging of all, fruitfulness is not limited to youth. God promises vitality, purpose, and spiritual impact even in old age.   If you've ever wondered whether growth, strength, and usefulness are still possible in every season of life, this promise is for you.

THE TOWNSEND PLAN, FATHER COUGHLIN, AND THE THIRD PARTY THREAT Colleague David Pietrusza. Dr. Francis Townsend's popular plan for old-age pensions pressured Roosevelt, who disliked "the dole," into creating Social Security. Concurrently, Father Charles Coughlin, the influential "Radio Priest," turned against Roosevelt after feeling used and ignored, specifically following a meeting at Hyde Park arranged by Joe Kennedy. Coughlin allied with Townsend and Huey Long's successor, Gerald L.K. Smith, to form a third party aimed at throwing the election to the House of Representatives. Despite their massive radio audiences, these political amateurs failed to get on the ballot in key states like New York and California. NUMBER 3

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise weighs in on the Steelers' losing skid of five losses in their last seven games. This show is presented by FanDuel. Specifically, he gives his thoughts on whether the preseason concerns about old age are proving valid. Do guys like Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt still have the ability to life this roster to an AFC North title and NFL playoffs appearance? Or have their abilities to transcend losing streaks diminished. And is it reasonable to expect younger players including Joey Porter Jr., Patrick Queen, Jaylen Warren, Darnell Washington and others to step up in the closing weeks of the season? Paul tackles those questions, plus the highlights from coach Mike Tomlin's weekly news conference Tuesday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most Canadians believe that Canada's Old Age Security benefits act as a safety net, lifting struggling retirees out of poverty. But in this episode of the Hard Truths pod, Generation Squeeze founder, Dr. Paul Kershaw explains the hard truth: Some seniors with two homes, seven-figure portfolios, and six-figure incomes are still collecting OAS. And not just a token amount — retired couples with $180,000 in income still qualify for roughly $18,000 a year in OAS benefits. Paul dives deep into The Globe and Mail's "Financial Facelift"column. Every weekend, financial experts help Canadians fine-tune their retirement plans. The advice is smart and methodical, showing how to make the most of tax and benefit rules. But those columns also reveal something deeper —how our most expensive federal program, Old Age Security, has drifted from protecting retirees from poverty to padding the comfort of affluence .

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on StoicismIn this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, we reflect on a powerful line from Seneca's Letters to Lucilius, Letter 12: On Old Age:“How nice is it to have outworn one's desires and left them behind.”Seneca, Letters to Lucilius, Letter 12Seneca's words remind us that there's peace in growing beyond our old desires. What many see as loss, fewer passions, less drive, a quieter rhythm of life, can instead be freedom. The Stoics teach that as we age, we shed the compulsions that once ruled us and move closer to calm, reason, and virtue. Seneca himself wrote this late in life, finding new joy not in chasing but in observing, not in striving but in understanding.This reflection connects deeply with Epictetus' warning not to let our wants drive us, and with Marcus Aurelius' reminder to “be content with what nature gives.” It points to the Stoic discipline of Desire, learning to want only what's up to us, and to the discipline of Assent, choosing which thoughts and impulses deserve our attention.So what can we take from Seneca's view on aging today?Learn to see detachment not as loss but as liberation.Recognize how changing desires can open space for peace and reflection.Use each stage of life to align more closely with virtue rather than vanity.Seneca invites us to see old age not as a decline but as a refinement, the quiet strength that comes when we finally stop running after what never mattered.For more, check out this related article with quotes on dealing with death:https://viastoica.com/10-seneca-quotes-on-death/And if you're looking for more Stoic sayings, visit viastoica.com, where you'll find hundreds of quotes with full references to the original texts:https://viastoica.com/stoic-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/marcus-aurelius-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/epictetus-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/seneca-quotesMake sure to subscribe to more Stoic Quotes episodes every Friday, as well as our Tuesday interviews and longer discussions.Support the showhttps://viastoica.comhttps://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coachinghttps://viastoica.com/benny-vonckenhttps://x.com/ViaStoicainfo@viastoica.comProduced by: badmic.com

In The Life, Old Age, and Death of a Working-Class Woman (Allen Lane), sociologist Didier Eribon continues the historical, political and personal reflection he began with his classic memoir Returning to Reims, this time turning his attention to the end of life. Tracing his mother's rapid physical and cognitive decline, and drawing on works by Simone de Beauvoir, Norbert Elias, Annie Ernaux and Michel Foucault among others, Eribon transmutes his rage, sadness and the shame over her death into a nuanced portrait of the woman who raised him. How does our society treat the elderly, Eribon asks? Can the completely dependent speak for themselves – and if not, who can speak for them? Eribon was in conversation about his work with the essayist and novelist Mendez.

In this episode, we're joined by Associate Professor Sharna Jamadar, a cognitive neuroscientist at Monash University, to explore how the brain uses energy, and how that changes across the lifespan. Did you know that a 10-year-old's brain uses over 50% of the body's total energy, compared to just 20% in adults? We dive into why younger brains work harder, the role of synaptic pruning and proliferation, and how the brain's organisation impacts cognitive efficiency. We also touch on the importance of glucose metabolism and its connection to age-related disorders like Alzheimer's. A fascinating look at the energy demands of our most complex organ!

Letters to the Aged - 2 Why should the aged be more peevish and morose than others? If they are pious, there can be no good reason for it; but it is not difficult to account for the fact. In the decline of life a gradual change takes place in our physical system, by which the mind is considerably affected; and often serious disease is added to this natural change. The nervous system is debilitated and shattered, and in consequence, the spirits are apt to sink, or to become irregular.
