Engaging Boomers for Kingdom Impact with Scott Papador

No Regrets Leadership Podcast

In this episode, Steve Sonderman sits down with Scott Papador to discuss The Grand Plan—a powerful 6-week curriculum designed to engage the often-overlooked force in our churches: Boomers. With 76 million Boomers in the U.S. and an estimated 35% of church attendees coming from this generation, Scott challenges us to consider: Are we fully utilizing their gifts, talents, and wisdom?

Scott shares his personal journey to faith and what led him to help develop The Grand Plan, a tool designed to activate men and women aged 52–73 for meaningful kingdom impact. Drawing on insights from Wisdom at Work by Chip Conley and From Strength to Strength by Arthur Brooks, this conversation explores how Boomers can move from success to significance.

Through a six-summit process centered on holistic health, vision planning, and intentional engagement, The Grand Planhelps Boomers discover how to serve with purpose—during retirement and beyond. Whether in small groups, businesses, or ministry, this episode encourages you not to bury your treasure but to live with impact throughout every season of life.
