What Good Am I Now?

Rediscovering Purpose in Retirement

Category: Mindset & Perspective
Ideal for: Church groups, retirement communities, senior-focused enrichment programs
Length: 30–60 minutes, flexible

This talk addresses one of the most emotionally charged questions retirees quietly ask themselves: What good am I now? When the calendar clears and identity shifts, it’s easy to feel unnecessary—even invisible. Steven gently guides attendees toward a new understanding of purpose in this chapter of life, showing how influence doesn’t retire just because your job title did. Through real-life stories, biblical insight, and practical encouragement, this talk helps listeners reframe aging as a season of hidden strength and redemptive usefulness.

  • Discover how influence and usefulness evolve after retirement
  • Reframe purpose apart from productivity or professional roles
  • Embrace slower, deeper ways to bless others with wisdom and presence
  • Recognize that your story—and your impact—aren’t finished
  • Retirees feeling directionless, underused, or unsure of their purpose
  • Widows/widowers, caregivers, or empty-nesters navigating major transitions
  • Faith-based audiences looking for spiritual encouragement without preaching
  • Seniors ready to explore meaning beyond busyness

Our culture rarely celebrates aging. Instead, it sidelines it. This talk invites seniors back into the center—not to relive their past, but to steward their present. In a world obsessed with speed and youth, this message affirms that quiet strength, compassion, and wisdom still matter—and might just be more powerful than ever.

This talk is designed to be accessible, engaging, and informative in any setting — whether you’re hosting a formal educational workshop or a casual community gathering.

Ideal venues include:

  • Church groups or older adult ministries
  • Independent and assisted living communities
  • Faith-based retreats or seasonal enrichment series
  • Any gathering where seniors need to be reminded: they still matter

All I need is a quiet space, a place to project slides (optional), and a group of people ready to learn. I tailor the delivery style to fit your audience’s comfort level and questions.

Let’s give your audience the encouragement they didn’t know they needed—because purpose doesn’t retire.
