Part 1 of the 3-Part Series Everyone Can Do Something

Leading up to Christmas and the end of the year, hosts Jim Brangenberg and Bruce Bruinsma inspire retirees to embrace the season with purpose and love. Reflecting on the Christmas spirit, they ask: What can you uniquely do to make a difference this year?

We’re reminded that even small, neighborly gestures can bring immense joy as the duo discusses practical ways to bless others, from making a thoughtful phone call to helping foster children gain a sense of belonging. Find a need and fill it—whether through time, resources, or simply a listening ear. Bruce is a big advocate of Wraparound Grandparenting ( https://retirementreformation.org/wraparound ), where retirees support foster and adoptive families with love and stability. The message is clear: while we all have different abilities, everyone can bring hope to someone else’s life, which is what the Church is called to do!

Above all, the episode emphasizes loving your neighbor, not just at Christmas but all year long. Whether you’re retired, working, or somewhere in between, there’s a unique way for you to spread joy. After all, the heart of the season is living out Christ’s love.
