Flourishing in the Third Third of Life Course
Faithful. Fruitful. Flourishing. What if those three words could describe the third third of your life? Anchored in Scripture and enriched by science and other disciplines, Flourishing in the Third Third of Life is a video-based course produced by the Max De Pree Center for Leadership. This course will equip individuals in and near retirement age to live faithfully and fruitfully and experience abundant and purposeful life.
Designed for groups and classes, but suitable for individual use as well, each session consists of a video lecture, questions for small group discussion, and resources for individual study and devotions.
