For most people, Christmas is an exciting time of year; a time to get together with family, to see little ones open gifts and run around. But for some of us, it brings a stark reminder of how much time has passed and how many friends or loved ones have gone home before us. There are a lot of mixed emotions that end up surrounding this annual celebration of Christ’s birth. What is it like for you? Does it bring joy, or stress, or sorrow? Does it remind you of warm fond memories or does it remind you of a spouse or child or other family member that isn’t there to be with you?

Any way you look at it, Christmas is on its way. As a Reformed Retiree, how should you be looking at this day of celebration? How can your life make the difference in the lives of all those around you in the run up to Christmas and all next year? Join us for today’s show, as we have a frank conversation about Christmas and its joys and stressors.

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!
