Mid-Segment Special Guest: Steve & Ruth Carter

It’s almost New Years and most of us are looking forward to new beginnings, resolutions, and a chance to start over – especially as we move another year away from the COVID-19 pandemic. But for some, the new year is a reminder that we are alone. Similarly, while some of us may look back on 2021 with fondness, for many people this past year has been full of pain or sorrow.

Whether excitement or dread, the turn of the year brings up emotions in us. So, how does God want us to react? As far as I remember there are not any psalms about the New Year but there are tons of scriptures referencing new beginnings and fond remembrances. So, how are you looking towards the new year - is it with fondness, sadness or some mixed emotions? In today’s show we parse through this subject.

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!
