Am I Just Losing My Mind?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "There's someone from my past I want to let go of but can't. I've been praying to God for the past 3 years, asking He make me forget her and help me move on, but nothing has changed. The smallest things will trigger memories. I'll see her face in dreams, so clearly, like looking at a photograph. Is God telling me not to let go of her? Is it a demon distracting me? Am I just losing my mind? I've looked everywhere but can't find answers. I'm just so conflicted and don't know what to do."

Living Like The Old Me

How do I know if I’m living like the “old me” instead of the “newness in life in Christ”? I find myself sinning almost daily. I dont want to do it anymore, yet this is the thousandth time I’ve said that probably. I am a hypocrite, but I dont want to be. I want to stop and im trying to stop yet I fall almost daily. Am I truly still not saved?

How Has Marriage Changed?

Hi Dr. Betters, could you shine some light on the evolution of the institution of marriage? Polygamy was accepted in the old testament. I imagine that incest was too in the times of Adam and Eve since their family was the only one that existed, and had been commanded to be fruitful and multiply. None of this is acceptable to God anymore.

Submitting Myself To An Abusive Man?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hi Dr. Betters! I am a 24-year-old female and I have a question about marriage. I know that wives are supposed to submit themselves to their husbands. However, every female family member of mine (my mother, grandmother, aunts, etc.) submitted themselves to their husbands and ended up being abused and controlled by them. The idea of submitting myself underneath a future husband makes me feel so uncomfortable that I would rather live a life of singleness. However, I want to have children in the future. What should I do?"

"Drawing The Line In My Marriage"

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I'm standing here in my kitchen, listening to Dr. Betters, baking my son's 17th birthday cake. I'm reaching out in desperation, as the woman reaches for Jesus' hem. We've been to 11 counselors, pastoral and professional over the last 14 years. I know I am a sinner at heart, but I am seeking healing for my marriage, still. I've lived under emotional/verbal abuse for 26 years. I've tried to separate 3 times. My husband is a professing believer and, since middle school, has opened the door of technology and apps to our son (34 hours on Tik Tok over the last 10 days recently on just 1 app). What is a Christian wife to do when my husband devalues, minimizes, and outright blocks my attempts and wishes with boundaries when it comes to social media, music, and video games? I know the arm of the Lord is not short and is mighty in battle, but where is my line of obedience to God over man? How do I protect my son in this last year? Thank you for your time."

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hi Dr. Betters, God has guided me recently to your videos as He has other good ministries over the years and because of them I have grown spiritually and owe much thanks to Christian brothers and sister and their gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I Need My Husband Back

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, DayDay asks "I am 32 years old. I’ve been with my husband for 15 years. This year 2021 my husband unexpectedly passed away, on Valentine’s Day of all days, at 49 years old. We have three children ages 3,4 and 11. We have already been through so much in our lifetime (financially mentally and emotionally) and God took my husband from us, for what? What kind of God would want to see me and my children suffer? I don’t understand it, and I need answers. It’s not OK for God to leave me in this lifetime without answers and just think I’m supposed to forget about it when I die. Like I’m supposed to forget about it and my brain is supposed to be wiped clear and not have any questions. No it does not help me that people tell me that the heavens need him more because that’s not the case. We have a family together and I need him more. God has my husband for eternity. How could he need him more?"

How Can I Save The Person I Married?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, Nathan asks "Hello, how can I save the person I married? I'm a man with faith which was one of the reasons why she married me. She comes from a family with no faith. My wife has become a very negative (evil) person who shows it to our children and I. Our 2 daughter's are 4yr and 11months old. My marriage is sacred and I will not give up on either my marriage or my wife because I know it is important to not just God but to me as well. I feel if I can save my wife then my kids can be saved as well but it scares me to know it can go both ways with the influence of the devil.

Thank you for your service and any advice you can give."
