In her longform article “How to Grow Newer When You’re Not Growing Younger,” Abigail Dodds writes thoughtfully about the familiar experience of feeling young on the inside while watching your body age, of feeling slightly estranged from the person you see in the mirror, and of pursuing newness in Christ rather than running after youth. We asked Dodds to record herself reading her essay for listeners of The Gospel Coalition Podcast.

Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
