Ask Dr. Betters
Leaving A Church
In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hello Dr. Betters. I'm a Christian who attends an Evangelical church that has never preached on the 2nd Coming in the 50 years I've attended though they teach and preach the Gospel.

I have so many more questions to send to you in the future about scripture and personal experiences. If I may ask one more question, How do you know if God is calling you to preach?

Is it a Sin to have a Tattoo?

I do not have any tattoos of any kind on my body & I dunno if I ever want one or any! Then I was reminded of a scripture verse. . . .Leviticus 19:28! Please help me to better understand this verse or any others like it, before I go & possibly do something foolish! Thank you for your time!"
"God Is Allowing Demons To Ruin My Life"
In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Does God punishes people with demons? Because I’ve been very confused lately and suffering greatly with theology and the Bible and who God is and I also believe I have demons and am in need of deliverance. However, I have cried out to God to help me but he doesn’t. I believe God is using demons to punish me. It’s so bad that I can’t even pray or read the Bible in peace. I feel there is something really evil and strong in my spirit. But God is allowing them to torment me to punish me. I know I sin relentlessly day after day and it’s overwhelming but I just can’t feel peace or rest. I have tried coming to Christ and being saved but I don’t believe what I did was effective. Either I have yet to be saved, or God didn’t choose me for salvation. I wasn’t predestined. I’m suffering a great deal and especially feeling and seeing that God/Jesus doesn’t love me"

Am I in the wrong for asking God of such things as sending care & love to them in heaven from me here on earth??? Will God do such a kind act as these things or is this just not a thing he does at all??? Thank you for your time. Rodney."
Solomon Had 1000 Wives?
In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "It's Shaun, thanks for the cool videos, My friends & I were debating the other week about marriage and commandments say thou shalt not commit adultery. NOW our debate was about Abraham / Isaac / Jacob they had more than one wife, also Solomon he had Shocking thousand wives, maybe you could shed some light on this for us because we said that in Abraham's time they had to repopulate the earth but I'm sure in Solomon's time the earth was already re-populated. We were just a bit confused. Could you maybe shed some light on this because the commandments say thou shalt not commit adultery? Thanks await your response."
"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."
