What does the dementia journey actually look like from inside a marriage, a family, and a church?

Six caregivers sat down with us at our Alzheimer's and Dementia seminar, held February 21, 2026 at McGregor Baptist Church, and this episode gathers their voices in one place. Karen, caring for her husband Steve for seventeen years. A husband caring for his wife Celeste in her fifth year. A husband walking with his wife Sally through four years of the disease. A daughter who cared for her mom Darlene for a decade. A husband caring for his wife Bunny. And a wife caring for her husband Jim.

Their stories carry real honesty about the first two transition years, the roller coaster of daily care, the shame that keeps families silent, and the moments of unexpected grace, including the day a life group brought the wrong neighbor home from Bible study. Every voice comes back to the same place: they could not do this without the church, and they could not do this without Christ.

McGregor Dementia Podcast provides relevant resources to those currently walking the dementia journey with their loved ones.
