The Gun Lap Podcast

Join cohosts Robert Wolgemuth and Bob Lepine with guest Bill Eiliff as they discuss the need to cheer those on coming behind them.  Bill said, “To me, living is Christ. Dying is gain. You keep that mentality and that sense of purpose and then realize that the next generation coming along behind you , God’s going to use them. He’s been doing it for thousands of years in extraordinary ways. Let’s be their greatest cheerleaders. Their greatest helpers; and not turn into grumpy old me.”

Join cohosts Robert Wolgemuth and Bob Lepine as they discuss using the years after retirement with wisdom and purpose. Bob said, “In this season, there’s less accountability. You move into the season and think, “Good. I get to rest some. And then what happens is you just keep resting and don’t get back in the game to run another lap... We’ve got a new assignment - we’ve got to step in and fill our schedule with meaningful, impactful Kingdom work.”
