When Things Go Wrong How Can I Respond with Righteous Anger Instead of Sinful Anger?
When Things Go Wrong How Can I Respond with Righteous Anger Instead of Sinful Anger?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I am struggling with anger and I just don’t know what to do. I used to be happy but now even the small things that go wrong set me off. I have been a believer since I was a kid and I know that anger is a sin issue in my heart but I don’t know how to deal with it. I have been reading my bible and in Matthew 5:22 it says “everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment” and this scares me. When things go wrong how can I respond with righteous anger instead of sinful anger?"

My Husband Is More Concerned with Being a Good Son Than a Good Husband. What Do I Do?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "My husband and I have only been married for 6 months. In order to save money to buy a house of our own we decided to live with his parents for a while. It seemed like a good idea in the beginning but now it is causing a lot of tension. I feel like my husband cares more about being a good son to his mom then a good wife to me. His mother tells me all the time that she hopes we never move out and that it would kill her for her son to leave. I feel like I am stuck, what should I do?"

Am I Just Losing My Mind?
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
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?
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?
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"
"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."
