Retirement Reformation

Today we honor the life of Judy, beloved wife of our founder Bruce and the First Lady of Retirement Reformation.

After 63 years of marriage and a lifetime of faithfulness, Judy went home to be with Jesus last night. She embodied the very heart of our mission and was truly Faithful For a Lifetime.

A celebration of her life and legacy will be held this Saturday, September 6, at 11:00 AM at Cross Fellowship Church in Black Forest, CO, followed by a reception at the church. All are welcome.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to Retirement Reformation at retirementreformation.org/donate.

We grieve her passing, yet rejoice that she is now in the presence of her Savior.

For the month of February, Bruce and Jim thought it would be fun to bring in 4 incredible interviews of people living out their faith in their retirement.
In this first "best of" episode, you'll hear from LD Buckingham who joined the podcast in show 58 and is really excited to talk with listeners about doing something purposeful with your retirement years and then from Phil Burks in show 112 who shares his story of being reassigned, not retired.
Both of these men get it, that retirement isn’t when it is all over, it is a new stage in life where both LD & Phil understood their positions as fully funded missionaries released with new assignments. Enjoy hearing from these two "retirees!" Listen today: www.iwork4him.com/iretire4him-podcast/2025/02/iretire4him-show-133

As we close out the year with this new series, we really want to focus on each and every listener (and Christian retiree) finding out how God wants to use them and their unique abilities.

An initiative near and dear to Bruce and Jim's hearts is wraparound grandparenting, where seniors use their time and resources to support foster and adoptive families. We really believe this is a solution to the foster care crisis that the Church can and should embrace!
