How Can We Save Our Loved Ones?

In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hi, my brother grew up Christian, and went to college to be a pastor. During those years he struggled with alcoholism.

He now says that he doesn't even believe in God because if He really existed, He would have taken that from him…How can I try and bring him back to God other than praying for him?"

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 like I've never hated anyone or anything. 15 years of beatings and suffering has taken its toll on my faith and love for God.
