Our Stories Pt. 2: My Story with Alzheimer's It’s a question that I’ve heard asked multiple times amongst my generation: “If I had to lose my physical abilities or my mental capacity as I age, which would I choose?” Obviously, we’d all like to keep both (to whatever degree we currently have them!) but reality shows us that this isn’t always the case. Almost universally, the answer to the question is, “if I had to lose one, I pray it won’t be my ability to think, respond, pray and reflect.” We deeply value our ability to navigate the journey of life from a place of cognitive wellness. But it simply isn’t always the case. This weekend, we will delve into the realm of dementia and consider two stories of people whose loved ones have battled or are battling with Alzheimer’s Disease. My wife, Joyce will share about her mother’s journey and Carol Jansen will talk about her husband’s current battle. Marilyn Parsons will also join in and share how we as families and as a church family can best come alongside those we love who are facing cognitive decline. It will be a weekend to offer hope to us all when life doesn’t unfold exactly as we would like it to and how we find courage and peace in God in the midst of it. I look forward to worshiping together! Have a blessed weekend! Pastor Ian Trigg

This week, I sat down with Dr. Dean and Dr. Ayesha Sherzai—directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Medical Center and authors of The Alzheimer's Solution—to talk about all things brain health, a topic that is more important now than ever before. Did you know that half of the people who live to the age of 85 will have Alzheimer's? It's quickly becoming the most pressing health issue facing our world today. As we learned at revitalize 2018, when the Sherzais quickly won over the crowd with their well-rounded perspective on brain health—the Sherzais are on a mission to prevent Alzheimer's, slow its progression, help patients and families cope, and hopefully soon even find a cure. There's no doubt about it: They have a lot of hard-earned knowledge to share. In this episode of the mbg podcast, you'll learn about the lifestyle factors that are hurting your brain the most. High on this list is multitasking. Many of us think we're skilled at performing more than one task at a time, but the Sherzais explain that multitasking isn't just bad for your brain, it's impossible—since you just end up doing a lot of different things poorly instead of a few things well. On the flip side, establishing deep focus on one task is one of the healthiest activities for your mind. We also talked about how finding a sense of purpose can take time—but it's well worth the time and effort—and why it's so important to use technology mindfully in parenting. Don’t miss it!
