FEATURING: Paul Nichols 

MINISTRY: Retired United Auto Workers Chaplain 

This episode, host Jim Brangenberg takes us to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to meet Paul Nichols, who discovered that retirement isn't about having a rigid plan but about being obedient to God's daily calling. After 30 years with the United Auto Workers, Paul has spent the last 20+ years in retirement serving as a chaplain to workers and retirees—conducting funerals, weddings, hospital visits, and providing spiritual guidance. His story shows what happens when you stay available to serve where God has already planted you. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR YOU 
Your retirement years can be even more purposeful and fulfilling than your working years when you remain available to serve others. 
Meeting people "right where they're at" without judgment creates opportunities for genuine ministry and meaningful connections. 
Staying physically and mentally active through community involvement, recreation, and service is vital for a vibrant retirement. 
The workplace relationships, skills, and industry knowledge you've built over decades can become your most effective ministry platform. 

YOUR NEXT STEP 

Consider providing chaplaincy-like support in your former workplace or community. You don't need an official title to be present during others' celebrations or crises. Check if your industry has chaplaincy programs you could join, or simply be available to those who already know and trust you.
