MID-SEGMENT GUEST: Doug Hunter

Ministry: Pinnacle Forum

#2 of 3-Part Series: In general, Americans have bought into the lie that retirement should be 30+ years of pure leisure. But that’s not a sustainable way of life! Retirement Reformation founder Bruce Bruinsma reflects on the example that God gives of 6 days of purpose and 1 day of rest. As retirees, we can still find the necessary rest and fun in retirement without trying to make rest and fun the driving factor during our retirement years.

Doug Hunter with Pinnacle Forum is 75 years old but nowhere near slowing down! He spends most of his time engaging with Christian leaders at Pinnacle Forum, to make a difference in the marketplace, but he also serves on several boards, sharing his wisdom and experience. He’s a shining example of living with purpose over leisure and encourages iRetire4Him Podcast listeners to ask God how He wants to use them.

Bruce also shares a bit more about their Oxygen for Life events that are taking place across the nation and Retirement Reformation’s goals for reaching as many retirees as possible with the message that you have purpose and God wants to use you as long as you have breath in your lungs!

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!
