Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice shares about the miscarriage of her child and discusses where God is when a woman experiences a miscarriage. She also offers practical ways to begin healing after pregnancy loss, whether you are the mother or father. My 45-year-old son is single and has epilepsy. He’s never driven, isn’t married, and has never dated. Having him come live with us will change our privacy and his. How do we navigate this transition and maintain healthy boundaries? Why won’t God reveal Himself to me? I hear people talk about experiences that confirm God is real. Why does He reveal Himself to some people and not others? How can I overcome my doubts about God? I was sexually abused by my mom until I was a junior in high school. I’m 78, and you’re the first people I’ve ever shared this with. Is there anything I can do to ease the burden of this trauma?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Parents, do you know how to talk about the dangers of AI and chatbots? Dr. Alice shares the tragic story of a boy who committed suicide after developing a romantic relationship with AI, reminding us that AI should never replace our relationships with God and other people. I’m a 70-year-old widow, and my husband died when I was 52. Yesterday, when I asked my brother if I could share something with him, he mentioned God and said I had to wait until I was with both him and his wife. My 23-year-old son got his girlfriend pregnant and asked to move her in, but I said no unless they’re married or stay in separate rooms because I feel I’d be compromising my faith. Now he has cut me off, and I feel forced to choose between my son and my faith. I feel like I’m being bombarded with Satan and spiritual warfare on a daily basis. None of the pastors or the eight different churches I’ve gone to can help. My daughter was assaulted, and my siblings forged my signature and stole my inheritance. Where do I turn?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky shares a couple of her favorite quotes, including one attributed to Plato: “Be kind because everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” We rarely know what anyone else is carrying, so we have to be careful not to judge. My elderly mother fell and broke her femur two years ago, but she still isn’t doing anything about it. I’m 58, but she treats me like a child and says she doesn’t want me to be alone. How do I handle this so I don’t sound so irritated? My brother and his wife didn’t talk to our 88-year-old mom at a birthday party. It’s been three and a half weeks since they stopped speaking. Should my husband and I intervene? I just started listening to you yesterday! Knowing how much God loves me and who I am in Christ through Scripture has literally made me a different person. My daughter-in-law wants to divorce my son. They have four kids, and it’s getting ugly. What role should I play as a grandpa?

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ discusses the difference between slips and relapses. For example, JJ has been working to change his diet but had a recent slip-up, not a relapse. In recovery, when people have a slip, they often think they’re starting back at zero. But it’s only a minor setback. I went to Every Man’s Battle and wanted to share that within the first hour, you experience a certain freedom. I help with lay counseling and have seen ministers tell women that it’s built into a guy’s DNA to need to have a sexual release, so wives should fulfill that need. I don’t agree with that. What’s the best way to counter that bad advice? My husband has had sexual fantasies about feet, and it has affected my emotional connection with him. He’s also been stealing money from my business. Is this my way out, and does it give me grounds for a divorce? I have a gratitude of thanks for JJ at the last Every Man’s Battle! Afterwards going through the workbook with my wife helped answer her questions.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky shares the challenges of caring for her adult son with disabilities and the constant search for answers. Her pastor recently reminded her that God is with her. In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul reminds us that we have treasures in “clay jars” and may be “pressed…but not…crushed.” I called you about my blindness, and I wanted to let you know that my eyes and depression have been completely healed! I’m dating a woman whose son loves me, but he has a busy schedule. How can I let him know that I want to have a relationship with him? How can I help my best friend whose mom is a financial narcissist? She’s very frustrated that her mom has always been financially driven about who owes her money. Everything in my friend’s childhood has revolved around money. My friend started working when she was 9. I’ve lived with my mom for 3 years. Two days ago, she moved my brother, who is an amputee, into the house. He sexually abused my sister from the time she was 2 to 12. What do I say to him? How do I forgive him?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill explains why remembering 9/11 matters as we mark the 25th anniversary: we honor those who died and remember so we don’t repeat history. Throughout the Bible, God’s people created memorials to remember what God did during difficult times. Remembering a tragedy also honors that part of us that lived through it. My best friend of 40 years has stayed in a miserable marriage with an unfaithful husband for 10 years. They’re deeply in debt, and I’ve given them a large sum of money to help. Am I a terrible friend if I tell her I’m angry, or am I hiding if I don’t? How do I move forward as a Christian with my parents who get offended the minute anyone else does something wrong? My mom didn’t answer my calls after I moved. When she finally did, she just talked about the weather.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui discusses what to do when someone you know is suicidal. My 21-year-old nephew is an atheist, uses substances to drown his sorrows, and has put his hands on his mother more than once. We lost a sibling to suicide, so that might be why my sister is overprotective. The hosts discuss why betrayed women are reluctant to get help for themselves. How do I love and support my 22-year-old daughter without supporting the lesbian lifestyle? My daughter is in a lesbian relationship, and we are Christians who want to love and support her while staying true to our beliefs.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim discusses how spiritual discipline helps us become better equipped to handle whatever comes our way. Using Jesus’ example in Luke 6:12, picture a wagon wheel with three parts: solitude, community, and mission. Should I wait for my daughter to make the first move so we can have a relationship? She’s 46, and we can’t seem to find peace between us. She resents that I left New York and her. We moved across the country to be close to my in-laws, but I’m having a hard time with my mother-in-law, who won’t even babysit for us. She doesn’t let my husband’s cousin or sister talk to me unless I mend things with her. Should I be the one to mend the relationship? My 19-year-old daughter is living with a man out of wedlock. Since I don’t agree with her lifestyle, should I stop paying her car insurance?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris discusses how much he loves old hymns. One line from the hymn “Come Thou Fount” that stands out to him is, “Tune my heart to sing Thy grace.” Tuning our hearts to “sing Thy grace” is a daily task. It’s been a year since my son has talked to me. He is gay, and he and his partner lost the home they were living in. He stopped talking to me after I told him I wouldn’t give him any money. He used to take drugs, but his partner has helped him stop. What should I do? My friend has panic attacks and goes to the hospital. She already sees a doctor, and I’m tutoring her in English because she’s from another country. How can I help her? Can our marriage survive a sexless existence? Eighteen months ago, I found out that my husband had been cheating on me with prostitutes for the majority of our seven-year marriage. My husband also has ED.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill shares how waterskiing reminded her of the mind-body connection and the importance of staying active. Nothing stays the same, so keep moving forward! My sister, who is 11 years older, is racist, and she speaks ugly about strangers. I’m white and have 2 black grandkids, so this is especially hurtful. Should I stay or leave my marriage? I’ve been married for 47 years to a narcissist and wonder if God has called me to stay because my marriage is my ministry. After three years in a recovery group, I feel God calling me to lead a Life Recovery Group. How do I maintain healthy boundaries and balance while overcoming my fear of failure? My husband and I have been separated for 3 weeks, and he is living in another state. My OCD has been getting worse.
