Taking A Risk After 60 - And God Showed Up

Episode Summary

What if your best years aren’t behind you—but just getting started?

In this episode of The Age of Lions, Mark sits down with Jamie Riddle, a 66-year-old who is living proof that purpose doesn’t fade with age—it sharpens.

Jamie shares the moment everything changed. Sitting at a dinner table in unbearable pain, he came face to face with a question many of us eventually ask: Is this what getting older is supposed to feel like? What followed was a complete turnaround—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

But that was just the beginning.

From a powerful calling he couldn’t ignore…

to a dream that turned into a growing ministry…

to learning how to truly hear and obey God’s voice…

Jamie’s story is about what happens when you stop resisting and start saying yes.

Along the way, Mark and Jamie dive into:

- Why it’s dangerous to “wait until later” to take your health

seriously

- The power of one step of obedience—and how it can open doors you never imagined

- How successful men quietly struggle with identity, fear, and isolation as they age

- Why community is essential—and what happens when you lose it

- How to recognize God’s voice and actually trust it

This conversation is raw, encouraging, and deeply practical for anyone in their second half of life who knows there’s still more ahead.

You are not done.

You are not too late.

And your calling is still in front of you.
