  Age of Lions Episode 048 - Andy Robertson

  Sep 7, 202657 minS2

  What happens when the life you thought you’d live suddenly takes a completely different turn? At 50, Andy Robertson stepped away from nearly four decades of ministry with no clear picture of what came next. He started a service business from scratch, endured financial hardship, nearly lost his marriage, faced major heart surgery, and eventually found himself spiritually disconnected from the God he had spent most of his life serving. Now, at 69, Andy says his passion for Jesus and his sense of purpose are stronger than ever. In this episode of The Age of Lions, Andy shares candidly about rebuilding his career, marriage, health, and faith—and the simple steps that helped him find his way back to God. He also talks about why getting older doesn’t have to mean slowing down spiritually. Instead of seeing himself in the fourth quarter of life, Andy is asking God for “overtime” and looking for every opportunity to invest what he’s learned into the next generation. It’s a powerful conversation about second chances, starting over, finishing well, and discovering that God may still have some of His best work for you ahead.

  Age of Lions Episode 047 - Lara Allen

  Sep 1, 202655 min

  What happens when you reach a season of life where the roles that have defined you begin to change? In this episode of The Age of Lions, Mark sits down with Lara Allen, entrepreneur, nonprofit consultant, and host of the Delight in Every Step podcast, for a conversation about purpose, transition, and discovering what God may have for you next. As Lara approached the empty-nest years, she began asking some important questions: Do I want to lead my business for the rest of my life? What do I want to do with the years ahead? And most importantly, what is God asking me to do next? Those questions launched a journey of listening, prayer, and eventually stepping into an entirely new season of ministry and work. Mark and Lara talk about the importance of quieting the constant noise in our lives, staying physically and spiritually healthy as we age, navigating the empty nest, and recognizing the tremendous opportunity older generations have to invest in those coming behind them. Lara also shares a powerful truth that captures the heart of this conversation: “Our purpose does not expire, but our assignment can change.” They also discuss why women in their 50s and beyond often find themselves rediscovering creativity, calling, and dreams that may have been set aside during the busy years of raising families and building careers—and why starting something new later in life isn’t just possible, but may be exactly what God is inviting you to do. In this episode: • Why empty nesting can become a catalyst for discovering what’s next • The importance of shutting out the noise so you can hear God • Why your purpose doesn’t expire even when your assignment changes • The need for older generations to intentionally mentor younger people • Why younger adults are hungry for relationships with people who have gone before them • How Lara traced the story of her life to recognize patterns of God’s faithfulness • Why it’s never too late to start something new • How to keep moving forward when health challenges and discouragement try to slow you down Lara is the founder of Flourish with Lara and host of Delight in Every Step, a podcast highlighting women who have stepped into something new in their 50s and beyond. She also works with individuals and teams through coaching and Working Genius workshops. The message is simple: You aren’t finished. Your assignment may change, but your purpose doesn’t expire. There is still more ahead. Where to find Lara: https://www.flourishwithlara.com/

  Episode #46

  Age of Lions Episode 046 - Mike Plaia

  Aug 24, 20261h 4mS2

  In this episode of The Age of Lions , Mark sits down with entrepreneur, CEO, former Army officer, coach, and mentor Mike Plaia for a conversation about what it means to grow older with greater purpose, discipline, and faith. Mike shares how his perspective has shifted as he’s aged—from pushing harder and accomplishing more to becoming increasingly intentional about where he spends his time, who he surrounds himself with, and what he’s ultimately pursuing. He talks about creating a “to-don’t list,” the importance of choosing the right people for your inner circle, and why successful leaders have to resist pride and remember that everything they’ve been given is ultimately something they steward for God. Mike also opens up about coming to a deeper walk with Christ later in life and how that changed his priorities as a husband, father, businessman, and leader. The conversation explores the lessons found in adversity, our responsibility to pour into younger generations, overcoming fear and self-doubt, and why getting outside your comfort zone is essential for continued growth. And Mike offers a challenge perfectly suited for every Lion: “When in doubt, let the lion out.” It’s a conversation about making the years you have left count—and a reminder that whether you’re 50, 60, 70, or beyond, it’s never too late to lean into the purpose God still has for your life.

In this episode of The Age of Lions , Mark sits down with entrepreneur, pastor, coach and author Ken Joslin for a powerful conversation about purpose, discipline, relationships and continuing to grow as we get older. Ken shares how his journey through ministry, business, personal loss, health transformation and entrepreneurship has shaped the work he is doing today—and why he believes everything we walk through can prepare us for what God has next. They talk about Ken’s philosophy of “incremental, not monumental,” the power of small daily disciplined decisions, why proximity to the right people can change the trajectory of your life, and the importance of intentionally investing in your faith, health, relationships and purpose. Ken also shares the thinking behind his new book, The 14 Frequencies of Proximity , and why authenticity, community and the relationships we build may be some of the greatest “cheat codes” for growth. If you’ve ever wondered whether your window of impact is closing, this conversation is a reminder: God isn’t finished with you. Your experiences, relationships, wisdom and even the difficult seasons of your life may be preparing you for what comes next. In this episode: Why getting 1% better every day matters “Incremental, not monumental” and the power of consistency Finding purpose in the second half of life Why obedience matters more than controlling outcomes Fighting isolation as we get older Ken’s Community, Circle and Corner approach to relationships Why proximity can accelerate growth Building discipline into your everyday life Becoming the best version of yourself so you can make your greatest Kingdom impact FOLLOW KEN https://growstackdrive.com/
