About this listen

The podcast will touch upon many subjects related to aging, senior life, church life, scripture and God’s plan for us. Most podcasts will involve discussion and interviews with the host and guests. It is Finishing Well's desire that by sharing and exploring God’s plan for older citizens in this podcast, seniors will gain a better understanding of ways they can finish well. It is also our hope that seniors will thereby find greater joy in their lives than they had ever imagined for their aging years.We will endeavor to help the listener understand the role he or she already has as a senior seeking to finish well. We will also strive to illustrate how the finishing well track can fill a void too many of us feel about our worth, our value and our purpose in our aging years. If we are able to clarify the message we know the Lord wants all of us to grasp, we hope the listener will find a renewed sense of purpose, meaning and joy in his or her life every day.

    FOUR PRINCIPLES TO IMPROVE A MARRIAGE

    In this episode of the Finishing Well Podcast, Hal Habecker and Ken Wilgus discuss the concept of "ringleaders," a framework for Christian men to reflect on and improve their marriages. Ken introduces the four principles:

    I belong to Jesus the Creator of my marriage.

    Jesus has joined me to my wife as one flesh.

    To love my wife is to love myself - to serve my wife is to serve myself.

    I am to my wife as Jesus is to me.

    They emphasize the importance of grounding marriage in Jesus and understanding the deep unity and oneness within a marriage. The conversation highlights the need for men to love and serve their wives as Jesus loves them, reflecting on the theological and practical implications of these principles.

  • Episode S7E02: “Walking with a friend through one of life’s greatest challenges – a potential terminal cancer diagnosis.”
    Jan 22 2026

    Send us a text

    Meet Jim Granberry and listen to his story about walking through life with his friend, Steve. God called Jim to walk through life with his friend. In Jim’s words, “Knowing that the diagnosis could be the ultimate cause of his death, we walked the path together, hoping and praying that it would not.” Jim’s story is a holy story. We often never know ahead of time how God uses friendships for eternal purposes.
