Life is short—how are you choosing to live it?

In this episode of Courageous Retirement, I reflect on the reality that our days are limited and invite you into a conversation about living purposefully, not just productively.

Scripture reminds us, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12). That wisdom isn’t about rushing through life—it’s about aligning our time, energy, and calling with what matters eternally.

I revisit themes from Episode 85, “Longing for More,” where I shared the simple but sobering truth that most of us are given no more than 100 years based on the song, A Hundred Years to Live. That awareness isn’t meant to create fear, but clarity—and perhaps courage.

In this episode, we’ll reflect on:
-What it means to ask God, “Teach me how to live” (Psalm 27:11)
-How to wait patiently for the Lord without wasting the season we’re in (Psalm 27:14)
-The question many of us quietly carry: What has my soul longed to do, but I’ve been too busy, afraid, or distracted to pursue?
-Purpose in every season—whether you’re still working, newly retired, or redefining what’s next

I also share personally about a new season I’m stepping into—recognizing that even good work can sometimes crowd out the work we’re most called to do. As part of that realignment, 'Courageous Retirement' will continue in an audio-only format for a time, allowing me to lean more fully into coaching and walking alongside others as they discern and live their God-given purpose.

We close with a reflection on the art of masterful living—a way of life where faith is integrated into every part of who we are, and where work, rest, calling, and joy are no longer in competition. Read it here.

My prayer is that this conversation encourages you to pause, listen, and take one faithful step toward living the life your soul longs for.

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12
