Our Greatest Lessons Come Through The Hardest Trials
Podcasts > Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging with Wendy Jones
Friday, June 12, 2026
Pastor Tim Helland joins host Wendy Jones on Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging to discuss how faith and perspective can transform the way we face life’s trials especially while caring for aging loved ones. Drawing from personal experience as a caregiver and a father, Pastor Tim shares how biblical truth brings lasting hope in the midst of grief, stress, and uncertainty.
He reflects on the emotional and physical toll caregiving takes—citing that 70% of caregivers over 65 die before the person they care for and emphasizes the importance of spiritual resilience. Using Scripture like James 1:2 (“Consider it pure joy when you face trials…”), he explains how true blessing is found not in comfort, but in trusting God’s eternal kingdom.
This conversation offers encouragement, reminding listeners that real hope isn’t in this life alone, but in the life to come.
