136: Retirement – The Best is Yet to Come!

Retirement is often seen as the finish line, but what if it’s actually a new starting point? In this episode, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with Ross Harrop, whose so-called "retirement" has been anything but restful! After 33 years with the Boy Scouts of America and time as an executive pastor, Ross found himself searching for purpose in his next chapter. Instead of slowing down, he leaned into God’s plan and discovered a new calling as a C12 chair, mentoring Christian business leaders. 

Join us as Ross shares how faith, business, and retirement intersect, and how God can use every season of our lives for His glory.

135: What Do Two 58-year-olds Know About Retirement?

Jim and Martha Brangenberg are only 58 – so what do they really know about retirement? A lot more than you’d think! After living in a retirement community for over two decades, they’ve seen firsthand what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to life after a paycheck. 

In this episode, they challenge the American dream of retirement and explore the biblical perspective: Is retirement really about endless relaxation, or is there a greater purpose? They unpack what the Bible says, share stories of retirees who are thriving, and discuss how to prepare – mentally, spiritually, and practically – for a life of impact in your later years. 

If you’ve ever wondered what comes next after work, this episode will shift your perspective. Because if you have a pulse, you have a purpose!
