118: Navigating Retirement Phases

Part 1 of the 3-Part Series Transitions 

Come discuss with co-hosts Bruce and Jim the transitions retirees face, highlighting the three phases of retirement: active, mentoring, and reflective. Bruce explains that the active phase (ages 65 to late 70s) involves fulfilling bucket lists and to-do lists. The mentoring phase (late 70s to mid-80s) focuses on sharing life experiences and guidance. Finally, the reflective phase (mid-80s onward) emphasizes reflecting on and sharing wisdom with future generations. 

Joel Penton, CEO of LifeWise Academy, joins to share how retirees can make a significant impact by helping provide Bible education to public school students during school hours. He encourages listeners to support LifeWise by signing petitions, joining steering committees, teaching, chaperoning, or donating. Find out how you can get involved!  

Bruce concludes by urging retirees to embrace the reflective phase early, finding fulfillment in their relationship with God and sharing their faith journey. He emphasizes the importance of mentoring and supporting not only younger generations but also peers and even parents. Give Ecclesiastes a read for some much needed perspective!
