Show Summary: No matter what we do or how we try to prevent it, we are all aging. With age comes wisdom, but also body changes that make us feel like we’re losing everything we once had. Heather Creekmore wants us to remember that God’s Word does not speak badly about growing older. Join hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Elisa Morgan as they talk about aging gratefully with Heather Creekmore on this episode of God Hears Her.
