112: Reassigned, not Retired
Part 1 of the 3-Part Series The RJFFA vs. Loneliness
This iRetire4Him episode looks at the epidemic of loneliness in retirees, pastors, and business leaders. It highlights how the Retired Jesus-Following Folks of America (RJFFA), with their wealth of experience, can come to the rescue and address this widespread issue.
Loneliness can be a serious health concern according to a recent report from the U.S. Surgeon General. Seniors especially struggle with shrinking social circles and negative societal views on aging. Pastors and business leaders also experience loneliness due to difficulties finding trusted confidantes. The show argues that retirees hold the solution. With more time and wisdom, they can connect with lonely individuals across these groups.
Hear from Bruce Bruinsma, founder of Retirement Reformation, which helps retirees find purpose, and Phil Burks, a retired entrepreneur who now mentors younger generations. Listeners are encouraged to explore the full episode and Retirement Reformation's resources to learn how to combat loneliness and find fulfillment in their later years.
