If you’re still working and thinking retirement will be your reward—the season where you finally “clock out” and coast—you may have bought into a lie.

In this eye-opening conversation, Jim and Martha Brangenberg talk with leadership expert Danita Bye about why the American view of retirement is spiritually dangerous and about how it affects more than just those over 65. Danita shares why younger believers must prepare now for a purpose-filled future that doesn’t expire when the paycheck does.

Because if you're not preparing to serve, disciple, and lead in your later years…you might be preparing to check out when your impact is most needed.
