Part 2 of the 3-Part Series The RJFFA vs. Loneliness
This episode places a special focus on loneliness among pastors and how retirees can offer support. Jim Brangenberg and Bruce Bruinsma discuss the importance of finding meaning and purpose in retirement, particularly through helping others. They connect with Ed Villalba from Life Action, a ministry that encourages pastors.
The majority of pastors face isolation and the inability to share their struggles openly. Church seniors are valuable resources who can offer practical help (like babysitting or fixing things around the house), sometimes financial support, or simply ask “how can I be praying for you?”
Expressing appreciation and offering encouragement to pastors can make a big difference, too. Retirees have a lot to give, like contributing skills and experience by actively serving in the church. By working together, the RJFFA (Retired Jesus-Following Folks of America) can make a significant impact on reducing loneliness among pastors and fostering a thriving church community. Listen for practical ideas that you can start putting into action right away!
