There’s a better option for the future than being the most broken down old dude in the retirement home.
If the kind of life you’ll be living tomorrow depends on the choices you make today, are you making the kinds of choices you can really live with?
Or are you hoping you’ll drop dead before the worst of them catch up with you?
If Caleb and Joshua could lead the charge into the Promised Land in their 80s, and we’re made of the same flesh and blood they are, maybe there’s a better set of choices than the ones so many of us default into?
You can apply these principles to anything: money, relationships, food, exercise, reputation. If your life today is built on the last 1000 decisions you made, what happens if you hitch your NEXT 1000 decisions to a vision of what you REALLY want tomorrow to look like?
And if you already ARE an old fart? We’ve got good news for you, too.
Don’t be so quick to assume you’re just waiting around for your number to get punched. There’s plenty of life in you yet.
Doug’s latest book is’Biblical Badasses: The Old Men‘
When God gets geared up to bring about a reformation, he green-lights the dream machine in us old farts. Yep, the prophet Joel says that when God‘s afoot flipping a nation from filth to faith, he doesn’t just use the young ‘uns, but he gives fresh dreams to the old dudes. Indeed, it is not just young peeps. It’s young and old. It’s a holy mashup of the green behind the ears and grey within the ears. That’s right, old man … God’s not finished with you yet. The ten men spotlighted in this spicy tome were probably way older than you when God lit their world of fire with fresh vision and purpose. If you’re hungry for more of God, then you should expect the Lord to do the same with you.
This is a great book for the rowdy 60+ Christian. It’ll shoot adrenaline into your soul. It hit #1 on Amazon in less than twenty-four hours. Get your seniors reading this in their group bible study. The devil will not be happy…
