• Interview with Wayne Johnson on Alzheimer's Disease
    Dec 18 2025

    Alzheimer's Disease is something that causes pain, not just for those who suffer from it, but also for those who care for the suffering. Andrew interviews Wayne Johnson, a Christian whose wife suffers from the terrible disease, about the frustrations, advice to others, and hope found in Christ. We hope this episode can encourage those who are caregivers and offer help during times of frustration.
