Building on last week's conversation about identity and the deep longing many feel in retirement, Ben Taatjes explores whether what feels like something missing might actually be a matter of alignment. Discover the three major steps to surrendering and becoming more aligned with God's purpose for your life. Beginning with surrender itself - losing attachment to outcomes - Ben reveals how this creates transformation that helps us understand God's will as outlined in Romans 12:1-2. Learn why God's plan isn't something we frantically chase but something we begin to recognize as our hearts and values align with His. This episode shows how life shifts from our agenda to God's agenda through the practice of surrender, opening the door to purpose and peace in retirement.
