Double Click Part 13: The Fear Missing Work

Double Click Part 13: The Fear Missing Work7 aug25 min

In this episode, Ben Taatjes addresses a fear many retirees are almost embarrassed to admit: 'I'm going to miss my job.' But Ben reveals that the real fear isn't about the job itself - it's about losing the significance, purpose, and sense of "mattering" that the job provided. Drawing from Jordan Raynor's biblical perspective on work, Ben redefines what work actually means beyond paid employment and challenges the cultural narrative that retirement means a life of permanent leisure. Discover why God designed both work and rest, why the desire to create and contribute doesn't disappear at retirement, and how financial independence can actually free your work rather than eliminate it.
