In this inspiring episode, Jim sits down with Jeff Wilson—longtime friend, brother-in-law, and faithful servant-leader—to explore how retirement can be a season of joyful purpose and ministry. Jeff reflects on his first year of retirement and how he's rediscovering meaning through family, church involvement, and a soon-to-begin part-time job in transit driving. If you're contemplating retirement or wondering what comes next, Jeff’s story is a testament to the idea that retirement is not the end—it’s a new beginning.

Key Highlights:

Serving Through Simplicity
Jeff shares how he's embraced roles like leading a small group at church and preparing to drive a community transit bus—all with a heart to serve.

Family and Faith Connections
In a fun twist, listeners learn that Jeff is Jim’s brother-in-law—and has known him since age 11! They reflect on the examples set by their parents and the different ways retirees are embracing (or avoiding) purposeful living.

A Call to Engage
Jeff urges retirees to plug into their local church and community, offering themselves for whatever is needed—whether sweeping floors or leading Bible studies.
