Dying Well: Aging and Medical Decisions

How do we navigate end-of-life medical choices with faith and wisdom? Mark is joined by his sister Megan, a cardiac nurse, and Val Bohlen, a longtime hospice caregiver. Together they share personal and professional perspectives on aging, medical interventions, and the difficult choices that often come at the end of life. This conversation explores the tension between preserving life and prolonging dying, and helps us think biblically about stewarding our bodies with dignity, wisdom, and faith as we grow older.

This crash course explores five critical areas to deepen our understanding of living and dying well in light of eternity: medical decisions, funeral planning, legacy building, financial preparedness, and spiritual reflection. Taught by Mark Vance with guest panelists.
