This is Our Time To Make a Difference. Together, We Will.

Three old friends

Seems like yesterday you were just starting out and had your whole life ahead of you. Then, you woke up one day and realized there’s more time behind you than ahead — and your priorities have changed. What matters now is maximizing the time you have left. Making a difference. Living significantly. Leaving a legacy. Finishing well.

If you’re like many men at this stage in their lives, this can feel like a daunting challenge. You honestly don’t know where to start. The good news is you’re not alone.

At Finish Well, we’re a group of retired and pre-retirement Christian men who have joined together to make the absolute most of this time in our lives. Together, we can encourage, guide and support one another to use the gifts and skills God has given each of us to make the greatest impact.

We don’t have all the answers to how we’ll do the most good in our later years. But we’re passionate, dedicated and confident that working together, we will uncover many brilliant, effective and inspired ways to make a difference and finish well.
