Finishing Well Ministries

Finishing Well Ministries We believe that growing older is not a period of decline but a season of unique opportunity to continue serving God, others, and the world around us.

Through our curricula, resources, digital presence, and community engagement, we seek to encourage. As we seek to live life from God's perspective and to glorify Him, we purpose to maximize the spiritual impact of an older generation of men and women as disciples in the local church and for the kingdom of God! Together, we will grow well, connect well, care well, and invest well into the lives of

each other, into the generations following us, and into the life of our local church. One may retire from an occupation, but a disciple of Christ never retires from being the greatest impact for the kingdom that one could be. We believe one's impact for Christ ought to be continually compelling in life and in the local church throughout the final decades of life. God calls us to a different vision of life than the one painted by our culture. He wants us to invest in things that are eternal, using the latter years of the Abrahams, Joshuas, Calebs, Ruths, Annas, Pauls and Johns of the Scriptures as our role models.

The biblical story of Naomi and Ruth, emphasizing how Naomi, despite facing significant hardships including the deaths of her husband and sons, and feeling abandoned by God, ultimately finishes her life well. Naomi's story illustrates the importance of trusting in God's sovereignty and living obediently. Ruth's unwavering loyalty to Naomi and her eventual marriage to Boaz, who becomes her protector and provider, leads to the birth of Obed, the grandfather of King David. Habecker highlights the significance of finishing well, trusting in God's plan, and the importance of community and faithfulness.

Simeon and Anna, two biblical figures who exemplify living well in old age. Simeon, described as righteous and devout, was anticipating the Messiah and was assured by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he saw the Lord's Christ. Upon meeting Jesus, he blessed God and was ready to die in peace. Anna, a widow for 84 years, dedicated her life to fasting, praying, and serving in the temple, and recognized Jesus as the Messiah. Both Simeon and Anna lived their lives in anticipation of Jesus' mission and message, offering lessons in faithfulness and devotion to the end.

Hal Habecker discusses the biblical perspective on retirement, focusing on the Levites who retired at age 50 to serve in 48 cities across Israel. Despite the modern concept of retirement being less than a century old, Habecker emphasizes that the Bible addresses it implicitly. He highlights the Levites' post-retirement roles as pastors, judges, and teachers, stressing their continued contribution to the community. Habecker argues that older people, like the Levites, should remain active in their faith, mentoring younger generations and fulfilling God's purpose. He encourages continuous growth and service in all stages of life, advocating for a multi-generational approach to ministry. https://www.finishingwellministries.org/characters-in-the-bible .

What would we do with 15 years if God added them to our lives? Would we live them for ourselves or would we live those extra years for God? Hezekiah's son Manasseh was born during these extra 15 years, yet grew up to be one of Judah's most wicked kings. This suggests that Hezekiah failed to invest spiritually in his son during his extended years. Start the video series study today.
