MID-SEGMENT GUEST: Gary Gilmore

Ministry: Pastor, Retired Military Chaplain

#2 of 5-Part Series: This current iRetire4Him Podcast series is all about the resulting “grays” that stem from isolation during retirement. Have you listened to the intro episode, Isolation Leads to Loneliness? If not, we recommend that you go back and listen to that Part 1 show, too.

Alcohol, drugs, and porn aren’t just for the young, and we’re now seeing more and more addiction to these things among seniors. So how does this lead to isolation? Because addictions create shame that causes one to isolate him or herself. But just like we highlighted last week, there’s HOPE for retirees that find themselves in addiction and isolation. Retirement Reformation isn’t a recovery program, but it does want to help retirees have purpose and hope for the future!

Pastor and former military chaplain Gary Gilmore shares about his work ministering in the military. He starts talking about his unique position of chaplain ministry and will follow up next episode discussing his current work with retired military members.

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!
