For more biblical teaching and ministry resources, visit www.TonyEvans.org, and if you’d like to go deeper in your study of Scripture, you can explore online courses at https://www.tonyevanstraining.org/ He’s 93. He believes some of his greatest ministry happened after 70. And that alone will make a lot of people rethink what they call “too late.” In this episode of The Unbound Podcast, Dr. Tony Evans sits down with Dr. Gene Getz for a conversation about church, leadership, discipleship and what it looks like to keep building when most people assume your best years are behind you. Dr. Getz talks about why so many people in the church are still hungry for real teaching, why consumer Christianity keeps weakening discipleship, and why truth and love have to stay together if the church is going to stay healthy. What gives this episode weight is not just what he taught. It is how he lived it. Dr. Evans reflects on how Gene shaped him in seminary and helped form his understanding of the church. Gene shares how his later decades became some of his most fruitful, including rewriting key books, expanding the Life Essentials Study Bible, and continuing global ministry well into his 70s, 80s, and now 90s. If you have ever wondered whether your most meaningful work is already behind you, this conversation says otherwise. It is a reminder that calling does not expire, faithfulness still compounds, and God is not in a hurry the way we are. This is a conversation about the church, yes. But it is also about endurance, usefulness and the hope that your later years may hold more purpose than you imagined.
