Hi, my name is Barry and welcome to the Faith over Dementia podcast. I have been living with Early Onset Alzheimer's disease since I was 57. I am also a Christian so now I am exploring how life now works for me in this ever-changing world with its new challenges and new opportunities. I have always liked to think out loud, talk about the bible and its text, its narrative, the books I am reading, films and anything else that interests me. This is my attempt to share this part of my journey with all of its ups and downs in God's good creation. So why not come along and join me?
Not Genealogy Again!

Episode 011: Genesis Chapter 11A has just landed. A short series of the first 11 chapters of Genesis, and how they help us understand the the outworking of the rest of the Bible narrative.
Last episode we saw how Noah found favour in Gods eyes, and even so, things still started to go wrong.
Over the course of time, people started to migrate eastward and determined to live life without God.

Episode 010 Genesis Chapters 6-9
More Descendants, More Corruption and a Flood – Part 2
Episode 010: Genesis Chapter 6-9 has just landed. A short series of the first 11 chapters of Genesis, and how they help us understand the the outworking of the rest of the Bible narrative.
So, last episode we saw just how far the people had fallen into wickedness and sin.
But this time, in a kind of reversal of Genesis 1, God determines to wipe out man, animals, creeping things and birds, An indication of just how corrupt things had become. He was sorry that He had made them…
Then just when all hope seemed lost, verse 8 of chapter six is dropped in our laps and hope is found and, maybe restored again:
“But Noah, found favour, in the eyes of the Lord”

Episode 009 Genesis Chapters 5-6
Descendants, Corruption and a Flood - Part 1
Episode 009: Genesis Chapter 5-6 has just landed. A short series of the first 11 chapters of Genesis, and how they help us understand the the outworking of the rest of the Bible narrative.
Today I am talking about Genesis chapters 5 and 6. In the last episode we saw mankind plunge further into sin, even though God has enabled the couple to have two sons, in whom maybe rested the hope of an offspring who will overcome the serpent.
Chapter 5 is a genealogy story that serves as a bridge to chapter six where we have a world view of increasing human wickedness and the epic battle between righteousness and evil will continue.

Episode 008 - Bonus Episode
Episode 8 is upon us and for this episode we are taking a short break from my mini series on Genesis chapters 1-11.
Instead, I am having a chat with my wife Rosalyn about Early Onset Alzheimer's disease. We discuss how my diagnosis had an impact on our family in the beginning, it's progression and how it has changed our life today.
At some point in the near future, Rosalyn and myself will be holding a questions and answers episode, both on the Genesis 1-11 series and what we have learnt about living faith and with dementia.
If you have any questions on either subject that you would like us to discuss, you can email me at:
