Caring for family members with dementia can be exhausting, difficult, and can even feel hopeless. What guidance can we find in the scriptures to support those caring for individuals with dementia?
In this episode, Janet and Jocelyn interview Keri Allen, a former special education teacher who served as the primary caregiver for her father from his early-onset frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis until his passing in 2024. Keri offers a biblical perspective on dementia and directs listeners to the ultimate source of hope for Christians—Jesus Christ.
