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.

Ep 2086: Rethinking God’s Will for Your Life

In this episode, Jim and Martha challenge the common question, "What is God’s will for my life?" and shift the focus to a more biblical approach: "What is God's will?" They discuss how this perspective applies to daily work, decision-making, and faith in action. By seeking to obey God in every moment rather than just planning for the future, believers can align their work and lives with His greater purpose. 

The conversation covers: 
✔️ The importance of knowing God over just seeking direction 
✔️ Learning to recognize and respond to God’s will in daily life 
✔️ How obedience leads to clarity in work and career decisions 
✔️ Personal stories of God's guidance in their journey 

They also highlight practical ways you can live out God’s will in the workplace and introduce resources like the iWork4Him Nation Covenant to help you embrace your mission field at work.
