    Gratitude, Lament, and Calling: the Spiritual Work of Growing Older

    Where do we find meaning and purpose in the later seasons of life? How do we support others through significant transitions to find peace, hope, and freedom?

    Abundant Aging

    Seabury was delighted to be featured on the Abundant Aging Podcast to discuss our original curriculum The Path Ahead: Spirituality and Purpose in Later LifeSM, which focuses on these questions and gives people the tools to answer them with clarity and confidence.

    The Path Ahead was developed in response to concerns that older adults in churches felt overlooked. It now trains faith leaders to help older members grapple with ageism, identify changing spiritual needs, and engage in discernment about God’s continuing call.

    • Dr. Elizabeth Boyd discusses the origins of The Path Ahead.
