Yes, He does. Learn how to discern what it is by taking an uncommon approach. Jeff Haanen looks biblically and practically at the need for rest and purpose in retirement. And teaches you how to:
- Take a sabbatical rest in early retirement
- Listen to God’s voice for their calling in retirement
- Rethink “work” in retirement
- Understand family systems and leaving a legacy
Planning retirement doesn’t have to be distressing. Retire in a way that’s God-honoring, purpose-filled, restful, and truly biblical.
