Retirement – Moving from Conventional to the Extraordinary S4 EP #128
Written by on August 15, 2023
In this episode, learn why retirement is not a finish line but a starting point: a moment to transition from the conventional to the extraordinary, from passive years to a period of active service in God’s Kingdom. My guest is Bruce Bruinsma, Founder and CEO of The Retirement Reformation.
The Retirement Reformation approach is to shift the understanding of retirement from a traditional perspective. Instead of seeing this phase of life as a winding down and disengaging, The Retirement Reformation envisions it as a time full of potential for active engagement in God’s Kingdom.
There are approximately 48 million Christ followers aged 60 and above. Feelings of isolation and loneliness are on the rise, creating significant health challenges. This demographic also represents one of the largest groups leaving the Church today.
