Drawing from a sermon illustration about a man who drove home without any memory of the journey, Ben Taatjes explores how retirement can lull us into a dangerous autopilot mode. When everything becomes familiar and comfortable, we stop growing - and as John Maxwell warns, if you're not growing, you're dying. Discover how this slow but gradual descent happens as life's momentum naturally slows down with age. Ben challenges retirees to pursue intentional discomfort and provides practical ways to accelerate growth while decelerating the slowing of life's momentum. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who's settled into the comfortable rhythms of retirement without realizing they've stopped truly living.
