Close Up Radio to Feature Kathleen Panning of Retired With Purpose

Leesville, SC – Pastor Kathleen Panning is a woman of faith who has always found a purpose in serving others. She has both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in divinity supplemented by various professional certifications.

Throughout forty years she has led congregations, appeared at more than 200 funerals, been the chaplain at several hospitals, and spoken to people both individually and in groups. She brought worship to the media and masses long before COVID  changed things. One major goal was always to help other women of faith maintain a meaningful and inspiring ministry. Her most recent venture came when she reached retirement age but felt she still had missions to achieve. Thus, her coaching practice is named Retired With Purpose.

“To me, ministry and coaching go hand-in-hand. I am always helping people infuse their lives and work with a sense of purpose and gratitude. I support those who have a firm life vision to maintain their enthusiasm and reach their goals. Sometimes they are highly spiritual or have a faith background, but not always.”

She recently gave a presentation at  an international leadership conference. It is called:  Leadership: You Can’t Play on the Teeter-Totter Alone and emphasizes how a more balanced life requires gratitude and input from others.

Clearly Kathleen is anything but quiet or truly retired. She is, as the business name says, Retired With Purpose and it is an exciting purpose to learn about. This is her third appearance on our radio show, and we are most excited to welcome her back again.
