Ep 2087: Retirement is Just the Beginning

What happens when retirement isn’t the end but the beginning of a new and fulfilling chapter? In this episode, Jim and Martha sit down with Ross Harrop, a man who has dedicated his post-retirement years to mentoring and guiding Christian business leaders through C12. After 33 years with the Boy Scouts of America and a season as an executive pastor, Ross found himself searching for purpose in his retirement years — until a divine connection led him to his next calling. 

Join us and explore Ross's journey of faith, purpose, and leadership, proving that if you’ve got a pulse, you’ve got a purpose! 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Your calling doesn’t retire when you do. Ross shares how his transition from corporate life to ministry and mentoring was God divinely preparing him for his work at C12. 

  • Find where God is at work and join Him. Inspired by Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby, Ross sought where God was moving and joined in. 

  • The impact of C12. Ross reflects on how C12 has transformed both his life and the lives of countless Christian business leaders. 

  • Retirement doesn’t mean stopping — it means repurposing. Ross is living proof that our most impactful years may still be ahead of us.
