counseling families with aging relatives on this edition of Truth in Love.

I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth in Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems

that people face.

And this week on the podcast, one of our own ACBC staff members, Sam Stevens, our director

of counseling center certification, is sitting down with Jim Corber.

Jim Corber is the pastor of biblical counseling and church planting at Grace Covenant Church

in Beaver Creek, Ohio. And they are a training center of ours. And Jim has served for quite some

time as a fellow with ACBC. And so I think you will enjoy the knowledge that he gives. And can I just

say that this is a very important subject,

especially as we think about in our country in America,

we see a growing number of baby boomers getting to an elderly age.

And as that happens, how do younger generations biblically think about caring well for those who are aging? I think you'll

find this conversation between Sam and Jim very helpful. So Sam, thank you for sitting down with Jim

and letting us hear a little bit more about how we would counsel biblically issues dealing with

aging parents. Well, Jim, thanks for being with us, this episode of

our podcast. And so I want to kick off our time together, kind of asking you the topic of

counseling families with aging relatives. How does this topic hit home personally, first off

with you? Well, Sam, thanks for inviting me to be a part of this podcast. And it really hits home because

in God's Providence, I was the youngest cousin of an old family. And, you know, as a child,

I remember thinking at five years of age that weekends were designed for funerals, apparently,

because it seemed like we were going to one every week. But I had an old family.
