MID-SEGMENT GUEST: John Avant  Ministry: Passion Promise  Part 1 of the 3-Part Series Kingdom Impact as a Senior  In this episode of iRetire4Him, Jim Brangenberg and Bruce Bruinsma discuss the untapped potential of retirees to make a Kingdom impact. Bruce highlights that many retirees feel they've outlived their ability to contribute because they haven't realized their role in God's ongoing plan. The conversation emphasizes moving from passive to proactive engagement in God's work, with Bruce explaining that Kingdom impact means actively extending God's reign through our lives. He contrasts activity, such as hobbies, with proactivity, which is intentional and purpose driven.  They also discuss Bruce's book Living the Fruitful Life, which explores how bearing spiritual fruit leads to Kingdom impact. Bruce shares four key ways retirees can bring about Kingdom impact: living a Christlike life, loving and serving others, advancing God's mission, and faithfulness and obedience. John Avant, this episode's special guest, shares his story of starting a new ministry at 65, focusing on supporting missionaries and college revival. His testimony reinforces the idea that retirement is not an end, but a new chapter for Kingdom work, where retirees can be freer than ever to follow God's calling.  www.RetirementReformation.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Where do we go from here? A Recap of John Avant's challenging message. Take a listen to this podcast and please tell us what God is saying to you through this time! justin@fbcruston.orgjosh@fbcruston.org"The Beautiful Virus"1 Thessalonians 1:6-8 ~ And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything."Revival is a Season of Breakthroughs in Word, Deed and Power Creating a New Normal"1. Love the Church More than the Chase1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 ~ "But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face, because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us. For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you? For you are our glory and joy."2. Love God’s Plan of Suffering More than a Place of Safety1 Thessalonians 3:1-5 ~ "Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left behind at Athens alone, and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's coworker in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith, that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are destined for this. For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, just as it has come to pass, and just as you know. For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain."3. Love Faith More than You Hate Fear1 Thessalonians 5:23, 24 ~ "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it."

Dr. John Avant is the Director and President of Life Action Division which is an organization committed to revival and awakening in America. He discusses with Sammy the desire to see millions of God astonished lives across America and how revival can come to the world today as it has in the past. Dr. Avant also recounts a revival movement that happened in the mid-90’s in Texas which ended up spreading to one hundred campuses across America and to other parts of the world.

Pastor John Avant was faced with a time of desperation in his church. He began to meet with other Pastors and cry out to God. Little did John know but revival was coming. God poured out such a revival that people wouldn’t leave for 7 hours. They were repenting of their sins, and they were changing. We need this today in America and around the world. Will you answer the call to pray?

01:38 - How to Have a Big Vision 10:55 - John Avant: President of Life Action 24:15 - Handling the Fear Media is Selling 34:37 - Daniel Kahan: Architect Motivational Segment - How to Have a Big Vision What happens to you when you see someone very successful? What is your perspective on their success and how they achieved it? One of the challenges we have in life is to change our thinking about ourselves and what is in store for us. When we understand the meaning behind Jer 29:11, we see God has a bigger vision for us then we even have for ourselves. Challenge yourself to see your future the same way God envisions it for you. When your vision grows, your ideas and creativity will start to grow as well. So, if you're at a roadblock in the creative process in business or life, ask yourself what your vision is for your future. Do you see a bright future or one that is just more of the same? Remember, when you grow your vision, you increase your creativity and what you have to offer the world around you. Your vision for your life will have an impact on the world around you. Interview: John Avant - President of Life Action Dr. John Avant has a deep love and compassion for people and believes that the only hope for our nation is to experience a mighty movement of God. John has pastored churches in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Louisiana. He was also the Vice President of Evangelism and Spiritual Awakening at the North American Mission Board. John and his wife, Donna, fell in love on the campus of Baylor University and married in 1980. They have three adult children and three grandchildren. Interview: Daniel Kahan - Architect at Smith & Moore Daniel Kahan received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1998 and a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Florida in 2004. He was raised in Augusta, Georgia and grew up studying the traditional architecture of the south. He was also exposed to and informed by the modernist residential architecture practiced by his uncle in Mexico City. Before becoming a principal partner with Smith and Moore Architects he apprenticed with the firm while studying architecture collegiately. He has prided himself in the synthesis of classical order and form with modernist simplicity. He draws inspiration from a commitment to artistic integrity, a passion for detail, the use of fine materials,
