Have you ever considered that there might be two ways to approach caregivingâeither by default or by design?
In this thought-provoking episode, we discuss the importance of intentionality in dementia caregiving. Are you reacting to daily challenges as they come, or are you actively shaping your caregiving journey with purpose and planning?
Understanding this distinction can transform your experience, providing a clearer path and a brighter outlook.
Are you caregiving by default, simply responding to each challenge as it appears? Or are you caregiving by design, creating a plan that supports you and your loved one? Shifting to a âdesignâ mindset can reduce anxiety, offer a sense of control, and help you feel prepared for whatâs to come.
Isnât it time to start caregiving with a plan in mind? Begin by considering what kind of caregiver you want to be, and take steps to transform your approach with intention and purpose.

Have you ever considered that the way you think could transform your caregiving journey?
In this episode, we explore the power of your mindâspecifically the reticular activating system (RAS)âand how it can help you find peace, purpose, and even self-love in the midst of dementia caregiving.
Our RAS is part of Godâs intricate design for our minds, helping us focus on what we value. When you start caring about your future, your RAS will help you find ways to prioritize self-care, spiritual growth, and a positive outlook. God created our minds to help us find paths through difficulty, and caregiving can be one of those journeys where we learn to lean on His wisdom.
How will you start caring for yourself on this journey? By reframing your thoughts, setting meaningful goals, and building a positive environment, you can create a caregiving experience rooted in love and resilience.

How can the core principles of the Reformation help you find strength and purpose in dementia caregiving?
In this episode, we reflect on how the Five Solasâthe foundational beliefs emphasized during the Reformationâcan guide caregivers through every challenge, creating a caregiving journey that honors God and brings peace.
These Reformation principles offer caregivers a meaningful foundation for their daily journey. By applying Sola Scriptura, caregivers can draw comfort and guidance from Godâs Word.
Sola Fide reminds them that their worth is in faith, not caregiving perfection, and Sola Gratia assures them that Godâs grace covers their challenges.
With Christâs example of humility and Soli Deo Gloria, caregivers can see every act of caregiving as a way to reflect Godâs love.
This episode provides the tools to approach caregiving with faith, purpose, and the peace that comes from knowing their work honors God.

Are you struggling with challenging behaviors in your loved one with dementia? Youâre not alone. Many caregivers face the frustration of trying to understand and manage unpredictable behaviors.
In this episode, we tackle these common caregiving challenges with practical advice and biblical encouragement. Letâs break down some key questions about managing these difficult moments.
A common concern for caregivers is understanding what to expect as dementia progresses. The truth is, a personâs behavior during dementia is often a magnification of their pre-existing traits.
If your loved one was anxious before, their anxiety may increase. If they were calm, they may remain relatively peaceful until the later stages.
What many donât realize is that dementia follows a backward progression, known as retrogenesis, where individuals slowly lose the abilities they gained in early life.
By seeing dementia as a reverse developmental process, caregivers can begin to anticipate changes and prepare for the future.
