Are you a Christian caregiver who secretly wonders, “Is all this sacrifice even worth it?”

Episode 265 meets you in that raw place with Psalm 73 as a roadmap out of spiritual jail.

1. Name the Tension
“Sometimes caregiving doesn’t feel like a calling. It feels like punishment.” That line opens the episode and echoes Asaph’s cry, “Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure.”

2. God’s Character, Your Circumstances
Psalm 73:1—“Surely God is good…” Dementia, exhaustion, and sibling drama can’t revoke His goodness. The Think Different Dementia Method™ starts here: anchor every decision in God’s unchanging character.

3. Expect a Broken World
Sin’s curse explains strokes, memory loss, and caregiver fatigue. When you stop expecting ease, you start preparing wisely.

4. Enter the Sanctuary
Nothing shifts until Asaph enters God’s presence (v. 17). Five minutes in Scripture or streamed worship may feel small, but it realigns the soul faster than any to-do list.

5. Therapeutic Truth-Telling™ for Your Heart
Pray Asaph’s honesty: “Lord, I was senseless and ignorant.” Repentance releases envy and self-pity so you can serve from overflow, not obligation.

6. Walk Humbly, Not Heroically
Use the Contented Caregiver Blueprint™ to apply Do-Delay-Delete-Delegate. Humility admits you can’t do everything—freedom follows.
