The Greats is back—with David Atkinson joining Colton as the podcast’s new co-host.
In this episode, Colton and David explore Cicero’s reflections on old age, friendship, virtue, purpose, and death. Cicero identifies four reasons people fear growing older: withdrawing from active work, losing physical strength, experiencing fewer pleasures, and drawing closer to death. But are these unavoidable miseries—or can the way we live now shape the kind of old age we experience later?
The conversation examines why growing older doesn’t have to mean becoming useless, how possibilities are exchanged for realities as life progresses, why influence may be the crowning achievement of old age, and where Cicero’s view of death falls short without a fuller Christian understanding of providence and eternal life.
They also discuss the importance of staying intellectually active, investing in younger generations, cultivating genuine friendships, and building a life worth looking back on.
