Mid-Segment Special Guest:  Dr. Sharen Ford #1 of 3-part series: Wasn’t it Dolly Parton who sung “Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living.

Work gave us purpose, work paid for things we love, Work pr...

Mid-segment special guest: LD Buckingham #4 of a 4-part series. Let’s face it, retirement, as laid out in the American dream, is just plain boring. How can anyone spend 30 years watching TV, building puzzles, playing golf, going shopping, and taking vacations? There’s got to be more to life than just entertainment and pleasure. In the final show of this four-part series, Bruce Bruinsma, the founde...

Mid-segment special guest: Steve Barrett #3 of a 4-part series. Perhaps the most underutilized talent in the kingdom of God is that of mentorship.

Mid-segment special guest: Dr. Jerry White #1 of a 4-part series. Romans 12:2 says, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

Thirty, forty, or fifty years ago, when you were contemplating retirement, you likely lived in a quiet neighborhood with a couple of friendly neighbors that you talked to about sports, church, and family. Almost everyone around you lived just like you did and valued the same things that you did. And Ameri...
