FEATURING: Buck Jacobs

ORGANIZATION: C12 Group

Based on your retirement years, how is God going to judge you when you stand before Him?

In this episode of iRetire4Him, host Jim Brangenberg talks with Buck Jacobs, founder of C12 Group, the world’s largest network of Christian CEOs and executives building businesses for a greater purpose. Now in his 80s, he’s stepped away from leading C12, but Buck continues mentoring and discipling business leaders around the world, showing that God’s calling doesn’t end with age—it just looks different.

Together, Jim and Buck discuss:

How making money or net worth is not what’s important when it comes to eternity

Why pouring into others is much more gratifying than focusing on leisure

How surrendering your time and experience to Christ leads to lasting joy and impact

The eternal rewards of staying faithful and fruitful in every phase of life

What God will say to each one of us when we encounter Him in heaven

You can check out Buck’s YouVersion Bible study on Romans 8 for further encouragement on living a Spirit-led life of purpose.

Meet Your Host

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!
