What if the very thing you never wanted is exactly where God grows you?

I share the behind-the-scenes journey of how this podcast became unapologetically Christian—and what God has taught me through two years of walking beside dementia caregivers like you.

If you feel like you didn’t sign up for this, you’re not alone. But here's the truth: God doesn’t waste your pain. He’s using even this season to shape you.

Here are the three things I’ve learned:

1. God Won’t Stay in the Background.
He calls us to be visible with our faith—even in the hard, messy parts of dementia caregiving. You don’t have to do this alone or quietly.

2. Obedience Brings Clarity—But Also Conflict.
Spiritual warfare is real. When we step out with biblical clarity, conflict may increase—but so does the peace of knowing you’re walking in truth.

3. God Grows You for a Role You Didn’t Choose.
I never wanted to be a pastor’s wife or run a Christian dementia podcast. But looking back, I’m grateful. God has carried me—and He’ll carry you too.

You don’t have to pretend this is easy. But you also don’t have to carry it alone.

Don’t walk alone. The Christian DigniCare Society (lifetime, under $100) gives you community, coaching, prayer, and practical tools.
