David Kim","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2027,"description":"What happens when the career ends and the calendar opens up? For millions of people, the question shifts from \"What do I do next?\" to \"What am I for now?\" \nFinding purpose after retirement is one of the defining spiritual challenges of our time, and most churches are underprepared to address it.\nIn this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp sits down with Reverend Dr. David Kim, founder of Goldenwood, to explore vocation after retirement as a distinct and active calling. David argues that the later decades of life carry their own vocational weight, marked by availability, discernment, and gift. Drawing on his research and work with Goldenwood's Nautilus program, he makes the case that calling is a dynamic relationship that stays highly active even after the 9-to-5 ends. \nFrom navigating the \"third-third\" of life to challenging the myth that relevance fades with age, David's work helps older generations integrate their wisdom into the church and the broader culture.\n🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:\nThe Post-Income Years: Redefining retirement as the \"third-third\" of life and discovering how vocational calling becomes more pertinent during this season.\nEmeritus for All: Why every industry should look to the university and the church to adopt an \"emeritus\" model that honors older workers and facilitates the transfer of generational wisdom.\nMentorship vs. Companionship: Shifting from formal mentorship to walking side-by-side as companions to foster authentic, cross-generational connection.\nExercising Spiritual Muscles: Building spiritual competencies before retirement to navigate the fears, doubts, and identity losses that come with leaving the workforce.\nOpening the Spiritual Imagination: How programs like Nautilus help individuals envision the next decade of life and resist settling for comfort alone.\n📚 Episode Resources:\nGoldenwood: https://goldenwoodnyc.org\nThe Prophetic Imagination: 40th Anniversary Edition: https://a.co/d/03CM0llI\n#podcast #podcastclips...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/XpK8J1UaK-lAhdin2b3t4A_PNLlgHqZ7_lESbs8_y-0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMzNjUyLzE2NjE3/ODcyNTktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
