Christian Financial Perspectives

What does the Bible really say about retirement? Retirement is actually mentioned only once in the Bible, where it refers to the Levites retiring from their regular service at the age of 50. However, the Bible emphasizes the importance of work around 500 times, with work being part of God's original design for humans. Retirement, as we understand it today, is a cultural concept rather than a Biblical one. In this episode, Bob and Shawn explore how to align your retirement plans with a Biblical perspective, focusing on service, purpose, and finishing life. Retirement should not be solely focused on personal interests and agendas but should be about glorifying God and serving Him.
