In President Russell M. Nelson’s October 2023 talk, “Think Celestial!” he declared, “Mortality is a master class in learning to choose the things of greatest eternal import.” For aging members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this “learning” remains in force as they find themselves looking for the best ways to serve in the Church and with their families. On this episode of the Church News podcast, Norman Hill — BYU associate professor and author of the Deseret News series “Better With Age” — shares his insights into aging with faith with host Church News editor Ryan Jensen.

The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.
