Retired Christian vs. Christian Retiree - A Foundational Shift

About this episode

Ben Taatjes discusses the transformative shift in identity from being a retired Christian to a Christian retiree using retirement as a tool for kingdom impact.

In this episode, Ben Taatjes shares insights from his recent Kingdom Advisor work that forced him to recalibrate his own identity. Through this process, he discovered that the system by which we operate is far more important than any title or label we carry. But how does this translate into a retiree's life? Ben and Jerrid explore the core shift that changes everything: retirement isn't the goal - it's the tool from which to operate a whole new life. Discover the profound difference between being a Christian who happens to be retired versus being a Christian retiree who uses retirement as a launching pad for kingdom impact. This foundational truth has the power to completely transform how you approach and experience your retirement years.
