Hope for the Caregiver

#425 Caregivers and Chronic Pain (Part 2)

#424 What Raiders of the Lost Ark Taught Me About Loving Someone in Chronic Pain

Teachable moments often appear in unexpected places. For example, a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark drove home a core principle about being in a relationship with someone who lives with pain. 

This episode is part of series we're doing on chronic pain, suffering, pain management, and other issues that affect us as family caregivers. Feel free to add your thoughts ...and share this with someone you know who lives with a suffering loved one.

#423 The Deceitful Allure Of Rage

From Hope for the Caregiver 6/20/2020.

A pastor friend once told me, "Rage is the most delicious of sins - it gives the illusion of power." 

As a caregiver, we find ourselves faced with a long list of injustices. Do we rage against them? What does that look like as a caregiver? 

For me, i discovered a surprising antidote for rage.

We talked about it on the air, plus took calls ...one in particular provided an opportunity to explore the current destruction in our cities as a teachable moment.

What many call the "Prodigal Son" is better named "The Story of the Best Father"

In this Father's Day message, my friend, Pastor Jim Bachmann talks about a story we all know ...from a different perspective than most have heard. 

Rev. Jim Bachmann is the senior pastor of Stephens Valley Church in Nashville, TN. He's been our pastor and friend for more than twenty years. You can livestream Stephens Valley and also access their archives.

Caregiving is hard enough. It's harder alone.  It's even harder without an assurance of God's love and provision. This message strengthens my heart, and I believe it will also encourage yours.

#421 Jim Breuer called the show and gives one of the best (and hilarious) Father's Day tributes ...EVER.

Saturday Night Live Alum, Jim Breuer, called the show for a special Father's Day episode. In all our years on the air, Jim's interview soared up to one of my all time favorites.

 "If you don't have people who can laugh with you ...you're doomed."

- Jim Breuer

From Home Improvement to Saturday Night Live, Jim Breuer brings a comedy legacy to audiences across the country. Calling the show, Jim also shared his huge heart and great love of family as shared his own journey as a caregiver.  Recalling introducing his father to Sylvester Stallone, Jim launched into an impression of the Rocky star that had us howling with laughter. Jim's rapid fire delivery showed no mercy to John and me as we vainly tried to catch our breath. But then just as quick, Jim opened his heart to share deeply personal and poignant events with his father.
