In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and it breaks my heart to hear about all the pain and suffering people are dealing with. To be honest, right now I feel like my life is going really well, no major issues, no struggles, no problems but after watching your videos I realized that I am not really deepening my relationship with Christ because, well, “things are good”. I mean, people seem to need Jesus more when they are hurting but how do you need Him just as much when things are ok?"

In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "I grew up in a very abusive home. My father was a terrible man and has caused me great pain and suffering. My mother finally got the courage to leave him but the damage was already done. I am now in my 30’s and have recently begun attending church. I just heard a sermon that was all about viewing God as our father and it caused me to want to vomit because it made me think about all the horrible things my father did to me. I just can’t go there, I can’t use that image. Is it wrong to view God as a “motherly” figure? (refer to Isaiah 66:13, 49:15)"

A Special Message from Dr. Betters

In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "I have grown up in the Catholic church my whole life here in Pennsylvania. Now with all the news around the abuse that has been taking place it just breaks my heart. I know that abuse can happen anywhere but my bigger issue is how they handled it and covered it up for so long. After 40+ years in the church I’m feeling like I need to leave and it makes me so sad. Is this a valid reason for leaving the church?"

In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "People quickly recognize the pain and sin of physical abuse but what about emotional abuse. I know that everyone is sinful and the tongue can be a weapon but how far is too far? My husband doesn’t curse me out (so to speak) but yet his words hurt, they break my heart, he is controlling and manipulative but yet when I try to talk about anything he just insists it’s all my fault and that I am the problem. I’ve heard you tell people they need to search themselves and look in the mirror and I am really trying to do that because I know that I am bringing my own sin behaviors into the relationship but I am desperate to put Christ in the center of my marriage and I don’t know how to do that when my partner is focused on tearing me down in order to deem himself blameless."

In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "I have a couple of big decisions in front of me. I have been praying about them for awhile seeking the Lord’s clarity and direction although I still do not feel at peace. Does that mean I’m making the wrong decision? Does that mean that both options are wrong? Should there always be peace about decisions before we make them?"
