MID-SEGMENT GUEST: Peter Vanacore

Ministry: Christian Association of Youth Mentoring

#2 of 3-Part Series: Relationships can be life-giving, but some can also be poisonous. This is why Jim and Bruce speak about toxic relationships and what retirees ought to do about them – because if we allow this toxicity in our lives, it ends up leading to discouragement and disappointment.

 As Bruce of Retirement Reformation remarks, God can certainly change people and relationships, but for the most part, the best option is to remove toxic relationships from your life. But what’s the best way to do this? You can listen to this episode for advice.

And for more counsel, don’t skip the second segment! During your retirement experience, have you ever had situations that haven’t gone the way you planned? Peter Vanacore is back for another interview talking about just that! Transitions are hard, but you can be encouraged by Peter’s story.

As Jim mentions in this show, “just because something surprises us doesn’t mean it surprises God.”

Meet Your Host
Although Jim is not yet at retirement age, he and his wife Martha lived twenty years residing in 55+ communities in Florida. Their experience has highlighted the harsh reality of retirement in the United States, showing the discontent that can come when people lack purpose in their later years. Surrounded by parents in their nineties and friends in their sixties, seventies, and eighties, Jim and Martha find motivation in observing those who live out their faith in retirement, while also witnessing the frustration of those who do not.

Jim has been hosting the iRetire4Him Podcast for nearly five years, has spoken at conferences, and has co-authored the book iRetire4Him: Unlock God’s Purpose for Your Retirement, with his father-in-law. Although he currently Works4Him, he looks forward to Retiring4Him one day!
