Are You a Christian Family Caregiver Feeling Worn Thin by Dementia or Alzheimer’s?
You’re not the first Christian caregiver to face this—and you don’t have to guess your way through it.
Welcome to Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians, the podcast that helps you stop guessing in the fog, see what’s actually happening, and learn how to steward this season faithfully with Christ-centered care.
Whether you’re a spouse, adult child, or family member trying to walk this journey faithfully, this show meets you at the intersection of practical dementia guidance and biblical clarity for real caregiving decisions—so you can care for your loved one while protecting your marriage, honoring your responsibilities, and remaining anchored in truth
Here, we answer the questions Christian caregivers are actually asking:
✅ What are the stages of Alzheimer’s disease, and how can I prepare for each stage as a caregiver?
✅ How do I survive dementia caregiving without burnout?
✅ How do I handle aggressive or challenging dementia behaviors – like hitting, yelling, or refusing care?
✅ What is sundowning and how can I manage it?
✅ When is it time to move my loved one to a memory care facility or nursing home?
✅ Why does my loved one with dementia keep asking the same questions repeatedly, and how should I respond?
✅ How can I get my loved one with dementia to bathe or maintain hygiene when they resist?
✅ How do I prevent my loved one from wandering or getting lost?
✅ How do I balance caring for my loved one and other responsibilities (kids, job, spouse) without feeling guilty?
✅ What does dementia caregiving look like from a Christian perspective?
✅ How can I maintain my faith and trust in God while caring for someone with dementia?
✅ Why would God allow my loved one to suffer from Alzheimer’s?
✅ How can I cope with caregiver guilt as a Christian?
✅ What does the Bible say about honoring and caring for elderly parents with dementia?
✅ How do I care for my parent with dementia without losing my marriage?
This podcast isn’t just about surviving—it’s about stewarding.
Because caregiving isn’t a detour from your life. It’s part of your calling.
