MID-SEGMENT GUEST: John Avant 

Ministry:Passion Promise

Part 1 of the 3-Part Series Kingdom Impact as a Senior

In this episode of iRetire4Him, Jim Brangenberg and Bruce Bruinsma discuss the untapped potential of retirees to make a Kingdom impact. Bruce highlights that many retirees feel they’ve outlived their ability to contribute because they haven’t realized their role in God’s ongoing plan. The conversation emphasizes moving from passive to proactive engagement in God’s work, with Bruce explaining that Kingdom impact means actively extending God's reign through our lives. He contrasts activity, such as hobbies, with proactivity, which is intentional and purpose driven. 

They also discuss Bruce’s book Living the Fruitful Life, which explores how bearing spiritual fruit leads to Kingdom impact. Bruce shares four key ways retirees can bring about Kingdom impact: living a Christlike life, loving and serving others, advancing God's mission, and faithfulness and obedience. John Avant, this episode’s special guest, shares his story of starting a new ministry at 65, focusing on supporting missionaries and college revival. His testimony reinforces the idea that retirement is not an end, but a new chapter for Kingdom work, where retirees can be freer than ever to follow God’s calling.
