What Should Retirement Look Like for a Christian? Preparation for retirement requires more than just financial planning. For most people, and especially for Christians, it comes with a host of other considerations—when to retire, where to live, and how to spend one's time. Many find themselves asking, Is there a right way to retire? Drawing from his work with geriatric patients and his own retirement experience, Dr. John Dunlop shares practical strategies for Christians as they approach their retirement years.

Are you ready to develop a retirement plan that allows you to grow closer to God by preparing for the non-financial aspects of it including the mental, social, physical, and spiritual aspects of life in retirement? It's time to re-envision retirement in terms of salvation instead of savings. We need to expand retirement discussions from the impersonal numbers and dollar signs to you and your overall wellness. I'm talking about preparing your body, mind, and spirit instead of your pocketbook. Fact of the matter is, retirement is often portrayed as the ultimate prize and destination... but it's not. Getting into heaven is. That's a mindset I don't want anyone to realize too late. While the Bible doesn't endorse many of today's retirement ideals, Scripture actually overflows with Gods plan and promises for your retirement. In such a way, that nearly every book of the Bible contains retirement wisdom for those interested in seeking it out and applying it to this season of life. For those who enter retirement unprepared for everything it is, they can look to the story of Abraham who at age 75 was told by God to leave behind his comforts - and everything he knew - for an unknown destination. For others who may have been forced into retirement because of corporate downsizing, a health problem, or other unexpected circumstance, they can learn from Daniel's unwavering faith as he overcame the Lion's Den after being betrayed by his co-workers. Even those who think they are prepared and called by God to take their life in a new direction, can garner retirement lessons from the many trials and tribulations the Apostle Paul faced after Jesus called out to him on the road to Damascus. In each case, the lives of Abraham, Daniel, and Paul all grew brighter as they pursued their faith and their relationship with God. Don't make your retirement journey like that of the Israelite's who wandered around in the wilderness for forty years to make what was actually an eleven-day journey.
