MID-SEGMENT GUEST: Vince Smith

Ministry: Keystone Family Alliance & Christian Alliance for Orphans

#1 of 3-Part Series: In various episodes of the iRetire4Him Podcast, we’ve discussed the issue of loneliness and isolation that is often experienced during our retirement years. How are these combated and overcome? Through relationships!

Especially in retirement, our relationships matter. Bruce Bruinsma with the Retirement Reformation attests that in order to cultivate and hold onto our relationships, it takes intentionality, perseverance, and curiosity. In the first part of this series, Bruce and Jim talk through different types of relationships and Bruce's list of what’s needed to keep our relationships thriving:

-        Stay in touch.

-        Be present with them.

-        Show appreciation for who they are.

-        Celebrate milestones.

-        Share experiences.

-        Communicate openly.

-        Support each other.

And halfway through the show, mid-segment guest Vince Smith talks about the work he’s been involved in surrounding orphan and foster care, recruiting help from the Church. Have you ever considered fostering or adopting? It’s not for everyone, but, as Vince shares, everyone can be a part of a “care community” that supports fostering and adoption efforts.

Want to help? Here’s a practical next-step example: Once a month, plan to take a meal to a local foster care family! You can also find more ideas for supporting this type of ministry in your own church on the CAFO and KFA websites.
