Vibrant Ministry After Retirement Age, with Lisa Northway (ep 89)

Even in your old age, God will cause you to flourish (Psalms 92:14). May we all carry on gloriously!

Retirement isn’t what it used to be.

In the U.S. military, retirement is mandatory at 62 years of age, but Chaplain (MAJ) Lisa A. Northway, U.S. Army Garrison Chaplain, is an exception to that. Lisa, who’s currently stationed in Fort Sill, OK, has been called the “Grandma Moses” of the Army Chaplaincy. She recently received permission to extend her chaplaincy for a few more years.

In this podcast, I talk with Lisa about how to have vibrant ministry past retirement age, including

  • How to mentor younger ministers
  • The value of long-term experience in today’s ministry environment
  • How to pace yourself for the long-term
  • How not to block the way for younger ministers
