In this episode, Ben Taatjes addresses a key truth many retirees discover too late: retirement doesn't fix identity issues - it reveals them. When the guardrails of work structure, daily contribution, and external validation disappear, we're left face-to-face with ourselves, and often those inner gaps speak louder, not quieter. Drawing from C.S. Lewis's 'Mere Christianity,' Ben explores the deeper longing for something more that intensifies when we're stripped down to our bare selves. Discover why retirement itself cannot resolve this longing and how retirees must reconnect with the foundational truth that they're created in God's image and designed to contribute. This episode offers hope for those feeling lost in retirement by pointing them back to their true identity and purpose.
