321. 5 Ways How Faithful Christian Caregivers Get Stuck — Even When Their Theology Is Sound

Faithful Christian caregivers don’t get stuck because they lack faith or biblical conviction.
They get stuck when true beliefs are applied without wisdom.

In this episode of Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians, we name five common ways faithful caregivers quietly become trapped—not by rebellion, but by misapplied perseverance, silence, fear, emotional over-identification, and endurance without discernment.

This episode brings biblical clarity to the realities of dementia caregiving and explains why wisdom—not more pressure—is what faithfulness actually requires.

Episode Takeaways 

• Faithfulness does not mean doing everything alone
• Perseverance without evaluation leads to burnout
• Silence is not submission when truth is required
• Waiting can be a decision rooted in fear
• Compassion must be ordered to endure
• Wisdom seeks counsel it does not isolate
