#1 of 3-part series: Culture shapes the way we think. Thirty, forty, or fifty years ago, when you were contemplating retirement, you likely lived in a quiet neighborhood with a couple of friendly neighbors that you talked to about sports, church, and family. Almost everyone around you lived just like you did and valued the same things that you did. And American society was still shaped by biblical values. Fast forward to today, and over 80% of the population doesn’t even go to church. Back when you started thinking about retirement, a million dollars was a lot of money, but now the average house in America costs almost ½ a million. 

The reality is that LIFE HAS CHANGED – and we can’t help but be impacted by that change. So how has your view of your retirement and your future shifted over the course of the last few decades? The next three podcasts are dedicated to evaluating how culture impacts us and how we, in turn, can impact the culture for Christ.
