Seminar series: Running the Final Lap

Living faithfully as we approach retirement, dependence, dementia and death

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Hebrews 12:1-2

In the summer of 2023 I led a series of four seminars at the Keswick Convention, exploring themes from my latest book The Final Lap. We explored how as believers we can live faithfully and joyfully through the transitions from work to retirement, from independence to dependence, and finally from life to death. How can we run the race God has marked out for us with perseverance as the pace inevitably changes as we age?

If you click through to each seminar, you can watch a video of the session and also read the associated handout.
