Echos of Impact Ep. 15 There's No Retirement in the Kingdom of God with Katharine Rose
In today's episode of Echos of Impact, we sit down with Katharine Rose—writer, speaker, and host of the podcast Eternal Echoes—for a rich and deeply meaningful conversation about purpose, obedience, legacy, and listening closely to God's voice.
Katharine shares her personal journey through striving, wilderness seasons, delayed obedience, and surrender. She opens up about learning the hard way that just because something is good doesn't mean it's God, and how the Lord patiently redirected her when she tried to take control of the calling placed on her life.
We also dive into the heart behind Eternal Echoes, Katharine's ministry dedicated to amplifying the wisdom and faith stories of the older generation. Through powerful reflections, we explore how our culture often overlooks both single women and the elderly—and how God sees purpose, value, and calling very differently.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, gain an eternal perspective, and remember that as long as we're breathing, God isn't finished with us yet.
