Ageism & The Fear Of Young Adults In Power
How do you know when it is time to walk away and retire? The last eight members of Congress to die in office were Democrats. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trailblazer, and yet her decision to continue serving on the Supreme Court until her death in September of 2020 is a part of her legacy that can’t be overlooked. In this episode, we discuss ageism and how it is keeping young people out of both politics and the church.
