Christians nearing retirement age face unique challenges balancing financial preparation with faith values—but Life Surge reviews demonstrate how the organization is doing its part to shepherd this flock of people seeking solutions. Life Surge events provide guidance for this demographic, with reviewers sharing specific retirement planning insights they’ve gained from these gatherings. And this support comes at a crucial time.
Forbes shared a national survey from The National Institute on Retirement Security which found that “79% of working age Americans agree that the nation faces a retirement savings crisis, up from 67% in 2020. And more than half of Americans (55%) are concerned that they cannot achieve financial security in retirement.” As if those numbers weren’t sobering enough, rumors of cuts to social security run rampant.
Community Building at Life Surge’s Core, Say Reviewers
The transition to retirement often brings social hurdles as workplace connections diminish. But connections are plentiful at Life Surge, reviews say.
Sofia C., an executive life coach featured in a YouTube review, emphasized this community element: “I’m so grateful for the instantaneous community. I was outside. We haven’t even opened the doors yet and already we’ve made connections and exchanged information. I just love community, so that was an extra cherry on top.”
Life Surge events teach attendees to view retirement not as an endpoint but as an opportunity for expanded kingdom impact. Reviews show this perspective shift has profound effects on retirement planning.
Many Life Surge reviewers note they received limited economic education from traditional church environments. “In the financial world, there’s groups of people that are more on the starter side of things,” Life Surge’s Chief Marketing Officer Jeremy Nosek explains. “How to save money, how to get out of debt … and then beyond that, when it’s about how to invest resources for multiplication. In the faith world, there isn’t really anybody that fills that void, and that’s where Life Surge sits.”
Michael N. from Seattle, Washington, appreciated this component, describing the event as a “good opportunity to hear some outstanding thought leaders and to learn key concepts of investments.”
This practical financial knowledge proves particularly valuable for retirement-age attendees who may have accumulated resources but need guidance on optimization and distribution strategies aligned with their values.
Susan A. from Seattle, Washington, shared her initial experience: “I didn’t come with any expectations. However, I was very impressed with the content shared and the opportunities presented!”
“In the church, there are different views,” Johnson says. On one extreme, you have sort of the prosperity view, and then on another extreme, you have what I call the poverty view. And then in the middle you have the neutral view. We don’t really focus too much on the theology of it. We focus more on the stewardship practices, the practical implications.”
For those interested in faith-driven financial education and retirement strategies, Life Surge continues to have a full calendar of events scheduled throughout this year. Attendees can expect inspiring keynote speakers, practical workshops, and networking opportunities that reinforce biblical stewardship principles. Whether you’re preparing for retirement, expanding your financial knowledge, or seeking a like-minded Christian business community.
