#3 of 3-part series: Wasn’t it Huey Lewis who sung, “Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'- I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'?” But really – why do we leave our homes, our places of rest and relaxation? Why do we go to work? Well, most of us go because we love to work. Work gives us purpose. Work pays for things we love. Work provides for our families…But now you are thinking, I have a different perspective on my work. I am over 60 and work has taken on a whole new role in my life...

Bruce Bruinsma of the Retirement Reformation continues the journey with us of this 3-part series on “Working after 60” as we come to the final episode. Last week we talked about Wanting to Work, and this week we are covering working as a Volunteering. Some of us don’t need to work for a living anymore, but we still want to contribute. Since we all know that retirement isn’t biblical, we hope this conversation helps you determine how to best serve your local community through volunteering in the years following 60.

#4 of a 4-part series. Christians are called to ministry for a lifetime. Impacting and changing lives is more than a priority; it is God’s mandate to each of us. This mandate, the call on our lives, has two parts. First, the common call for all believers to minister, impact others and help to change lives. Then, our unique call is based on our unique set of gifts, talents, and abilities. But how do these two callings play out in our retirement? Retirement is not only a reward for past service but also a steppingstone, a launching pad for future ministry -- future fully funded ministry. Bruce Bruinsma, the Founder of the Retirement Reformation, just released his latest book in the future funded ministry series, A Fruitful Retirement: The result of a future funded ministry plan. Bruce joins us today for part 3 of a 4-part series talking about how your retirement years can be fruitful!

Let’s face it, retirement, as laid out in the American dream, is just plain boring. How can anyone spend 30 years watching TV, building puzzles, playing golf, going shopping, and taking vacations? There’s got to be more to life. In the final show of this four-part series, Bruce Bruinsma and Jim Brangenberg talk about what it looks like when we go back to work as a retiree. This discussion is based on chapter 6 of the recently released book iRetire4Him: Unlock God’s Purpose for Your Retirement.

This discussion is based on chapters 4 & 5 of the recently released book iRetire4Him: Unlock God’s Purpose for Your Retirement.
