In this episode of Bleeding Daylight, seasoned chaplain Ben Boland shares his 15+ years of experience ministering to older adults and people living with dementia. As both a practitioner and scholar who has contributed to academic journals and spoken at international conferences, Ben brings unique insights shaped by his professional expertise and personal journey supporting his father who lives with advanced dementia.
Ben challenges our culture’s discrimination against older adults, revealing that 50% of people globally hold ageist attitudes - including older people discriminating against other older people. He emphasises that our value isn’t tied to productivity, beauty, or youth, but to our relationship with God as His beloved children. Through practical wisdom and theological depth, Ben demonstrates how good dementia ministry becomes intergenerational evangelism, reaching entire families with the gospel while providing desperately needed care and support.
