SEVEN ESSENTIALS WORKSHOP & SELF STUDY COURSE
God’s purposes for His people do not change at the age of retirement.
As followers of Christ, we are called to keep growing spiritually, to keep being conformed to the image of Christ, to keep building the church, to keep sharing the Gospel, to keep on being ambassadors for Christ, to keep using our giftedness, and to keep on making disciples in every one of our retirement years. Mobilizing seniors throughout their retirement years is our purpose.
​
To encourage this biblical mindset in retirement is the purpose of this discipleship project. FWM has developed this video series/workbook to focus on SEVEN (7) areas of life that will help us live well and finish well. It is particularly designed with retired and aging people in mind; however, it can be a great resource for the younger generations looking for ways to encourage parents and grandparents.. We believe God has an incredible mission for us as we age. The workbook follows the video series. The two are designed for personal use or small group use.
SIMPLY WATCH THE VIDEO THEN WORK THROUGH THE WORKBOOK.
Use it in a Sunday School group, a home group, or a Bible study group.

What the Bible Says About Growing Older:
The Exciting Potential for This Season of Life
by Dr. Hal Habecker (Author)
​
“You never fish in the same river twice.” The river is always changing. That’s true of life as well. Each day is different from the day before. We ourselves are different. Therefore, God keeps giving us opportunities to grow. Because this is true, let’s consider some important biblical principles about aging.

"Ted" addresses tensions early retirees can face in both secular and church cultures. Donated and produced by Wes and Judy Wick's youngest son, Jeremy, this was his very first explainer video. And while this clip helps explain YES!, it also helped Jeremy launch his video-making career. An intergenerational win-win!
