Episode 3: Six Essentials to Finishing Well - #1 We will GROW

What happens when retired believers allow themselves to be sidelined for ministry? On this episode, Hal and Randy discuss the feeling of being locked away in a Senior Treasure Vault and how to break from the stigma that we're ever "done" with ministry.

Episode 4: Six Essentials to Finishing Well - We will CONNECT

The power of relationships is more and more profoud as we get on in years. Connecting with others is the second of our six essentials for finishing well becuase it is where we find purpose and ignite compassion for others. Finding ways to love and serve others guards us from isolation, bitterness, and loneliness.

Episode 5: Six Essentials for Finishing Well - #3 LOVE

What does it mean to truly follow the two "greatest commandments" to love God and love others? As we age, we become more comfortable with our familiar relationships, but God calls us to continue finding ways to share Christ's love with a hurting world and pay attention to where the Spirit is leading us, even when it is new territory. It's what Jesus did for us and the example we must follow.

Episode 6: Investing in Generations Following Us

Instead of dwelling on our past, God calls us to focus on what He is doing in our lives right now too. When we do that, we pour our lives into generations following us, just as Psalm 71 says. One of the greatest services we can provide for the generations coming after us is to tell them how much we love them and how special they are to our lives. In this episode, we'll discuss how to do that, even if they act as if they don't want it.

Episode 7: Be Available

Being available doesn't always mean having a clear space in your calendar. God doesn't really pay attention to your schedule and we must learn to be ready to respond when He calls us to opportunities for ministry. Those of us who have retired must learn that we never retire from God's service and purpose!

Episode 8: Preparing for The End

No one likes to think about "the end." What if instead of letting it scare us, we saw it as a way to hand off responsibility to the next generation? As we wrap up our series on the 6 Essentials for Finishing Well, we're talking about the issue of the end of our lives and what kind of legacy we want to leave.

After God's promise to make him great, his life took a turn that no one would have predicted. However, God uses all things to work towards His will and Joseph is a story that shows us the reward of faith. As we finish well, let's learn from the life of Joseph together as an example!
