Rethinking retirement to avoid the sin of the sluggard - with Mike Raiter
Listen now
Description
Years and years of putting your feet up is the lifestyle of the sluggard. To be a sluggard is a so called ‘deadly sin.’ The concept we now know as retirement is a 19th century invention and not a Christian concept. Former Missionary, Bible College lecturer and principal Mike Raiter says the idea that we should stop work at 65 and enjoy 20 or 30 years of rest is not biblical. How should we think about the stage of life that starts at 65.  What are the ministry opportunities available? What are the sins and temptations that the over 65’s are prone to? And how can younger pastors speak to those who are older? http://www.thepastorsheart.net/podcast/growing-old-mike-raiter Support the show-- To make a one off contribution to support The Pastor's Heart's ministry go to this link, or to become a regular Patreon supporter click here.
