Losing My Faith (Son With Autism)

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Thank you for your informative videos. I became a Christian at age 40 now I'm 51. I have an autistic teenage son with violent tendencies. Every time he beats us up or hurts himself I lose more love and respect for the faith I thought I had. Today I hate God as I've never hated anyone or anything. 15 years of beatings and suffering has taken its toll on my faith and love for God. I need a string to hang on to or I will perish, lately, I blaspheme God as if he is my family and my worst enemy. I need help!!!"

Does God Care About Sports?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Tom asks ""Hi Dr. betters I have an extremely strange question which would have been better private but I will ask your advice it would help a lot. So I noticed in the previous videos you mentioned you played Golf, well I have played all my life I have spent hours on upon hours playing I tried to turn pro it didn't work out, etc but my problem is I was always much better than my results showed as you know golf is a mental game as well physically but my mind would torture me self doubt anger tension all creep in. I was told I need to trust my game more now this is where my question is does Jesus or god have any bearing in sports or golf etc because some days players get them lucky breaks or a player is holing every putt he sees., does god control anything to do with this or is a sport not important to god, etc he would not be worried about a game of golf? It’s just when I play sometimes I feel like the devil holds me back because I have a lot of self-doubts. I know you and many others would say this is not important in life but it’s been a life’s work for me to get to where I am so it means something to me personally to improve to where I know I can be. So how would you stay in the present one shot at a time think positive etc from a biblical standpoint? And is the sport of any interest to God can he control the outcome? Over the years we have seen some unbelievable things in all sports. I would be interested to hear your point of view. Thanks, Tom"

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?"
