Pastoral Retirement Coaching to Thrive Beyond the Pulpit

You’ve dedicated your life to serving God and His people. Now, as you prepare for the next chapter, you deserve more than a generic retirement talk — you deserve a purpose-filled transition plan that honors your calling, secures your future, and equips you to flourish beyond the pulpit.

Become Future-Ready — Emotionally, Financially, Spiritually, Practically

A Strategy Session with Bibi Apampa — The Retirement Queen — is a deeply personalized, one-on-one paid coaching experience designed specifically for pastors and ministry leaders to help you become "Future-Ready" for a Happy, Rich, Peaceful Retirement with multiple income streams. Together, we’ll create a retirement roadmap that honor's your identity, protects your legacy, and prepares you for a joyful, meaningful life after full-time ministry

What We Focus On in Your Strategy Session

Each session is tailored to where you are now — whether you’re five years from retirement, halfway through a transition, or already retired and seeking clarity. Our work together is built around four core pillars:

1) Identity & Emotional Transition

Moving from ministry into retirement isn’t just practical — it’s deeply personal. Many pastors find the shift disorienting or even painful. In our time together, we will:

• Distinguish who you are from what you do

• Untangle personal identity from pastoral role

• Navigate the grief, relief, and unexpected emotions that emerge

• Cultivate a positive vision for your next season

This emotional groundwork ensures your retirement isn’t just normal but transformational.

2) Legacy & Succession Planning

The way you leave matters. You want your ministry to continue fruitfully and your congregation to be healthy and thriving. We help you:

• Prepare a graceful, faith-filled exit strategy

• Document institutional memory and wisdom

• Mentor and support your successor

• Plan how your legacy continues long after your pulpit days

This pillar brings peace to your heart and confidence to your church community — and that peace is priceless.

3) Financial & Practical Logistics

Pastoral finances have unique twists — housing allowances, denominational benefits, tax issues, and irregular income streams. In your personalized plan we will:

• Analyze your current financial landscape

• Build sustainable retirement wealth strategies

• Explore clergy-specific tax and benefit planning

• Identify multiple income streams compatible with your calling

• Establish practical systems for ongoing financial peace

You’ll walk away with clarity — not confusion — and a workable path toward financial security.

4) Purposeful Life Beyond the Pulpit

Retirement is not “the end” — it’s a transition into something new and fulfilling. In this pillar we will help you:

• Discover meaningful roles beyond full-time ministry

• Explore bi-vocational opportunities, writing, interim roles, mentoring, or teaching

• Build a life-plan that combines purpose, service, and personal joy

This isn’t about quitting ministry — it’s about redefining ministry in ways that fit your next season.

Your Strategy Session Includes:

• A deep review of where you are now and where you want to go

• Financial and retirement goals mapped to your values and calling

• Actionable steps to build or enhance multiple income streams

• Estate planning, legacy strategy, and legal documentation basics

• Health-forward lifestyle planning for a vibrant retirement

• A custom, step-by-step implementation plan you can start immediately

By the End of This Session, You’ll Know:

✔ What gaps exist in your retirement readiness — and how to fill them
✔ Practical steps to build sustainable income after ministry
✔ How to protect your family, your assets, and your legacy
✔ How to stay healthy, fulfilled, and relevant beyond the pulpit

Who This Is For

This session is ideal for:

• Pastors exploring retirement within the next 1–10 years
