The Biblical Worldview of Retirement
About this episode
Bob and Shawn explore the biblical perspective on retirement, emphasizing service and purpose in later life.
Retirement is one of the most widely accepted goals in modern culture, yet the Bible has surprisingly little to say about retirement itself. In this episode, Bob and Shawn explore what Scripture does say about work, purpose, and serving others during the later seasons of life. By examining the Bible's only direct reference to retirement and contrasting it with the more than 500 references to work, he challenges listeners to rethink retirement through a biblical lens. Rather than viewing retirement as an escape from responsibility, Christians are encouraged to see it as an opportunity to serve God in new ways. Whether through mentoring, volunteering, missions, investing in family, or supporting the next generation, retirement can become a season of renewed purpose and Kingdom impact. If God has given you more time, how will you use it to finish life well and glorify Him?
