195. How To Know If You Are Dementia Caregiving By Default Or By Design? Support For Caregivers
11 nov· Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians: Conversations To Make Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Easier Today By Reducing Stress, Overwhelm and Burnout
Have you ever considered that there might be two ways to approach caregiving—either 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 “design” mindset can reduce anxiety, offer a sense of control, and help you feel prepared for what’s to come.
Isn’t 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.

190. Dementia Caregiving For God’s Glory: How To Reform Your Thinking
30 okt· Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians: Conversations To Make Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Easier Today By Reducing Stress, Overwhelm and Burnout
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 Solas—the foundational beliefs emphasized during the Reformation—can 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 God’s Word.
Sola Fide reminds them that their worth is in faith, not caregiving perfection, and Sola Gratia assures them that God’s grace covers their challenges.
With Christ’s example of humility and Soli Deo Gloria, caregivers can see every act of caregiving as a way to reflect God’s 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 feeling overwhelmed by the repetitive tasks involved in dementia caregiving? From answering the same questions to managing daily routines, it can feel like you’re stuck in an endless loop of caregiving duties.
