After 37 years of teaching in St. Paul, returning iRetire4Him Podcast guest Sheila Arrington thought retirement meant slowing down. Instead, God led her to Arizona and into a new season of ministry. From founding the Purposely Designed Conference to mentoring women through her ministry, Sheila shows that retirement isn’t an ending—it’s an opportunity to glorify God in fresh ways.

In this episode, Sheila shares how:

Leaving her Minnesota roots opened the door to God’s new assignments

God is using her to empower and equip women

A sabbatical taught her the importance of sitting with God before doing for God

Retirement is not about checking out but stepping into deeper purpose

If you’ve ever wondered what God might have in store for your retirement years, Sheila’s story will inspire you to see this season as a powerful new beginning!
