Meet Jim Granberry and listen to his story about walking through life with his friend, Steve. God called Jim to walk through life with his friend. In Jim’s words, “Knowing that the diagnosis could be the ultimate cause of his death, we walked the path together, hoping and praying that it would not.” Jim’s story is a holy story. We often never know ahead of time how God uses friendships for eternal purposes.

Our founder gives a brief 20-minute encouragement and a challenge for the new year before us. Our mission? We exist to call a generation of aging believers to leverage their lives for the fame of Jesus and the glory of God. Let’s embrace 2026 for this purpose.

Hal Habecker, host of the Finishing Well podcast, reflects on the mission of aging Christians to lead, influence, and encourage others. He emphasizes the importance of discipleship, regardless of age, and encourages listeners to press on in their faith. Habecker shares personal anecdotes, including his 50-year marriage and the impact of his spiritual gifts. He highlights the need for older believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to continue making an impact in their communities. The podcast aims to inspire and equip believers to live and finish well, emphasizing that retirement should not be seen as an ending but as a time to serve and leave a legacy for God's glory.
