#5 of 5-Part Series: In this series you’ve seen just how detrimental isolation is – often leading to loneliness, addiction, divorce, and even bankruptcy. Well, suicide often branches from one or more of these five areas. Even scarier – studies show there’s been a 20% increase of suicide attempts in adults 85+ in the last few years and over one third of suicide deaths were 55 or older.

What’s the main warning sign? Isolation and loneliness. Now you can clearly see why the iRetire4Him Podcast is addressing the dangers of isolation.

The message of Retirement Reformation combats ideas of hopelessness: you’re unique and called by God specifically. That gives you purpose, so you can step into God’s preferred future for you.

Even though he “retired” from Christian radio at 54, God allowed mid-segment guest Gordon Marcy to start the Glorystone App, an online player used by Christian broadcasters and ministries. Gordon confesses himself that he doesn’t have a background in software, but he shows how even at retirement age God can use you to do something you’ve never dreamed of. Listen to his advice for you!
