52. Your Calling Doesn't Retire: How God Uses Ordinary People for Extraordinary Purposes Beyond the Workplace
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Does God still have a calling on your life as you step into retirement? Absolutely — and in this episode, Vona makes the case that your best season is not behind you. It's just beginning.
Inspired by her own church's search for a pastor, Vona draws a powerful parallel between the formal call process and the calling God places on every one of our lives — yes, even yours, and yes, even now. From Moses to David to the everyday believer ready to leave the workplace, God has always used ordinary people for extraordinary purposes.
In this episode you'll discover:
- Why your calling doesn't end when your career does
- How retirement frees you to prioritize the relationship and purpose God designed you for
- What it truly looks like to "lead a life worthy of your calling" in this season
