Keep On Keeping On: Dr. Mark Rutland on Joyful Aging, Purpose, and Global Mission

Dr. Mark Rutland, author of his 20th book Keep On Keeping On, joins Philip Cameron for a candid, humor-filled conversation about finishing well, aging with joy, and trusting an unchanging God through every season of life. Dr. Rutland — founder of Global Servants, which operates Houses of Grace for at-risk girls in northern Thailand and West Africa — brings decades of pastoral wisdom and a refreshingly lighthearted perspective to the challenges of growing older in ministry. At the heart of the discussion is a simple but powerful truth: "We are changing. God is not." Dr. Rutland argues that walking with an unchanging God through the changes of life is what makes aging redemptive and even adventurous. He and Philip explore how a genuine sense of humor — not just knowing what's funny, but knowing what's funny about yourself — keeps believers winsome, joyful, and effective well into their senior years. Dr. Rutland also shares the story behind Global Servants' Houses of Grace, which proactively rescue girls from trafficking vulnerability in Thailand and Ghana, with graduates now serving as house mothers, attorneys, and doctors.
