Dental Health as we Age with Dr. Fred Schimon DDS

What does the Bible really say about aging? Is growing older something to fear — or something to embrace?

In this episode of Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging, Wendy Jones talks with life coach, speaker, and author Lori Pulliam about the spiritual purpose of aging. Together, they challenge today’s youth-obsessed culture and offer a faith-based perspective on honor, legacy, caregiving, and preparing for eternity.

They discuss:

• The biblical command to honor our elders

• Why aging is preparation, not decline

• How to support aging parents with love and presence

• Finding purpose in the later seasons of life

• Shifting from “doing” to simply “being”

If you’re caring for aging parents, working in senior care, or thinking about your own future, this episode offers encouragement, clarity, and eternal perspective.
