Ministry: Every Child Arkansas

Part 2 in the 3-Part Wraparound Grandparenting Series

The iRetire4Him Podcast continues in its discussion of wraparound grandparenting, giving listeners more details, examples, and reasons to participate. Host Jim Brangenberg and Retirement Reformation founder Bruce Bruinsma delve into this concept, a solution to the crisis in foster care and adoption.

With 115,000 kids in need of homes and a lack of long-term support for foster parents, wraparound grandparenting involves engaging seniors aged 55 and older to provide a supportive network for fostering and adopting families. Bruce shares insights from his personal experience and highlights the positive impact of wraparound grandparenting.

Special guest Shayne Baker discusses Every Child Arkansas, an initiative addressing the foster care dilemma through collaboration. As the episode unfolds, Bruce emphasizes the importance of seniors engaging in meaningful ways to combat loneliness in their own lives while making a lasting impact on children and families.

Although Jim is not yet at retirement age, he and his wife Martha lived twenty years residing in 55+ communities in Florida. Their experience has highlighted the harsh reality of retirement in the United States, showing the discontent that can come when people lack purpose in their later years. Surrounded by parents in their nineties and friends in their sixties, seventies, and eighties, Jim and Martha find motivation in observing those who live out their faith in retirement, while also witnessing the frustration of those who do not.

Jim has been hosting the iRetire4Him Podcast for nearly five years, has spoken at conferences, and has co-authored the book iRetire4Him: Unlock God’s Purpose for Your Retirement, with his father-in-law. Although he currently Works4Him, he looks forward to Retiring4Him one day!
