What if aging wasn't about slowing down, but about stepping into your full power? In this episode of SUPERPOWER, we explore the journey of transformation—from shyness to spiritual leadership, from work-life chaos to inner kindness, and from traditional aging to vibrant purpose. This conversation is about more than growing older—it's about growing into yourself.

Host Kristine Milkovich sits down with Charles McKinney, pastor, community leader, and lifelong learner. Charles is a husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He retired from three careers and is now serving in his fourth act as Hospital Chaplain, Biblical counselor, and Pastor on call. His greatest love and delight is his family and his greatest joy is encouraging and exhorting others to be their best version of themselves.

Charles is a lifelong learner. He enjoys travel, festivals, the beach, and most of all being one of the boomer generation. He brings warmth, wisdom, and decades of lived experience to this heartfelt dialogue.

This conversation reflects on Charles' personal journey, the role of community, and how embracing one's innate gifts can change the trajectory of a life. With humor, humility, and heart, Charles shares the stories that shaped his purpose.
