FEATURING: Danita Bye 

ORGANIZATION: DanitaBye.com 

What if the way we think about retirement is not only unbiblical but actually harmful? In this powerful episode, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with Danita Bye to expose the cultural lie that age 65 marks the end of purpose. 

Danita brings a compelling challenge to believers: at a time when AI is accelerating and younger generations are desperate for wisdom, we cannot afford to sideline our spiritual elders. Retirement doesn’t mean retreat—it’s a divine invitation to reengage through prayer, mentorship, vision, and leadership. 

What You'll Hear: 
Why traditional retirement is dangerous for the Church and society 
A personal story that reveals how America views the elderly—and what we’re missing 
The link between disengaged elders and a generation hungry for purpose 
What AI and cultural confusion mean for our grandchildren’s future 
The radical power of intentional, intercessory prayer in this season of life 

 
Danita closes with a bold reminder: the world may call your best years finished, but God never does. Whether you're 65 or 85, your influence still matters, and your calling hasn’t retired. If it feels impossible to make an impact in this season, that might be the best sign you're right where God wants you. Because with Him, nothing is impossible!
