137: Jim’s Plea to Retirees

In this powerful episode, Jim Brangenberg shares a heartfelt message about the real purpose of retirement. Many retirees have been led to believe that retirement is solely about relaxation and pleasure, but Jim challenges this idea, revealing it’s a lie that sidelines some of the most valuable members of God's kingdom. 

Instead of stepping back, retirees have an incredible opportunity to step forward—mentoring, serving, and influencing the next generation. Whether through volunteering, mentoring younger believers, or simply loving neighbors well, every retiree has a role to play in restoring faith and culture in our communities. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Retirement isn't the end of your calling. If you have a pulse, you have a purpose. 

  • Faith in action transforms culture. Engage with those around you, share wisdom, and serve others. 

  • You are needed. The next generation is searching for guidance, and your experience and faith can help shape the future. 

  • Find your new mission. Whether through politics, community service, mentoring, or local outreach, there is work to be done.
