I Need My Husband Back | Ask Dr. Betters

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "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?" Dr. Chuck Betters, drawing from his own faith struggles—especially the tragic loss of his sixteen-year-old son, Mark—has assisted countless individuals facing similar challenges over more than five decades of ministry. He finds hope in the belief that God is sovereign and can be trusted.

How Do I Deal with Emotional Abuse? | Ask Dr. Betters

In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "People quickly recognize the pain and sin of physical abuse, but what about emotional abuse? I know that everyone is sinful and the tongue can be a weapon, but how far is too far? My husband doesn’t curse me out (so to speak) but yet his words hurt; they break my heart; he is controlling and manipulative, yet when I try to talk about anything he just insists it’s all my fault and that I am the problem. I’ve heard you tell people they need to search themselves and look in the mirror, and I am really trying to do that because I know that I am bringing my own sin behaviors into the relationship, but I am desperate to put Christ in the center of my marriage, and I don’t know how to do that when my partner is focused on tearing me down in order to deem himself blameless." Dr. Chuck Betters, drawing from his own faith struggles—especially the tragic loss of his sixteen-year-old son, Mark—has assisted countless individuals facing similar challenges over more than five decades of ministry.

What Does the Bible Say About Single Woman in Ministry? | Ask Dr. Betters

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the following question from Rhonda: "I have heard many people espouse Paul’s teachings about singleness and marriage. I am a single woman who has never married. I am not single by my own choice, but I do have a desire to be married. In serving in ministry, I have found that most churches tend to shun single women in ministry, especially single women who are called into children’s ministry. The trend is to have a husband-and-wife team, believing it is a good balance and representation of godly relationships. Can you explain what the Bible has to say about this?"
