New Life LIVE: September 24, 2026
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). When we have GAD, our brains can link worrying with the belief that we can control things. Typically, it’s the man who wants to be intimate and the woman who doesn’t, but my marriage is the opposite. In 34 years of marriage, I’ve always been the one initiating. How do I honor God and my husband? I attended Every Man’s Battle this weekend after a ministry service representative encouraged me to go. Thank you

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky asks: How do we repair a relationship? She explains that some people are using AI to replace human therapists, but AI cannot repair a rupture in a relationship. Becky offers practical suggestions for rebuilding connection. My 17-year-old granddaughter thinks her father, my son, is trying to contact her. How do we tell her the truth—that there is a court order preventing him from seeing her and that he has sexually abused children? I just found out my 16-y

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ asks: What areas of your life have you overlooked? Drawing on Proverbs 24:30-34, he explains how the areas we overlook can eventually become like weeds in our lives. How do I process my best friend cutting off all contact with me? We’ve been best friends for more than 15 years, but she sent me a text saying we are no longer friends. How do I cope with the loss of this friendship? What are your thoughts on an acronym I wrote for New Life? I wanted to suggest

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc explains how each attachment style can lead to people saying the opposite of how they feel. Ask yourself: What am I actually feeling and what do I want this person to know? Is it unreasonable to ask my son to text me when he gets to his destination when he travels? He seems upset when I ask, but I want to know he’s safe. As Christians, should we accept a wedding invitation from my husband’s female cousin, who is marrying a woman? I feel God is telling me n

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 wo

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 bot

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? M

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

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. H

New Life LIVE: September 11, 2026
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 the

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

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 havi

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.

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

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice shares how more and more parents are seeing their children become disrespectful while still demanding screen time. She offers steps parents can take. My husband will take what I say and switch it to something unrelated, and he’ll relate the conversation to a song he’s heard. He did drugs in his 20s. Did the drugs affect him, and how do I respond to help him see his problem? Do I leave my church because everyone is 30 years younger and I can’t connect?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri explains why ambiguity can make us anxious and how a frightening choking incident reminded her that control is an illusion. All we have is right now. Taking life moment by moment can help us manage anxiety and uncertainty. When I read Proverbs 3:5-6, why do I have to trust anyone? It says to trust in the Lord with ALL of your heart. Am I using this verse to protect myself? God didn’t command us to trust in anyone but Him but to love others. I’ve been

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice asks, “Are you taking the proven steps you need to get better? If not, why not?” Don’t let fear, ignorance, or pride keep you from facing pain, pursuing healing, and taking God’s steps toward lasting change. How does a young man prepare for marriage and leave behind childish things in a world that is hostile to biblical maturity? I’m in my mid-20s and have struggled with pornography. My three sisters and I all experienced sexual abuse from our older b

New Life LIVE: September 1, 2026
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim discusses how children are being exposed to pornography at younger ages, with some children encountering it as young as age 8. If a parent catches their child watching it, they need to be careful not to overreact and instead be a safe place for their kids. I’m concerned for my 8-year-old daughter’s safety as she lives with my wife, who said she doesn’t want to be a pastor’s wife and asked me to leave. My daughter is now lashing out at her grandmother.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc reflects on how his 21-year-old son’s ADHD made school a roller coaster, activating Marc’s stress system. When it comes to parenting, more is caught than taught; we need to soothe before we solve, to model emotional maturity. Where does ayahuasca come from, and is it addictive? My 35-year-old daughter wants to be a mom and find a husband; she traveled to Peru and took ayahuasca, and her brother died from drugs. How can people move forward after losing some

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ explains primary and secondary boundaries from the Every Man’s Battle Intensive, sharing how he set boundaries around which foods he allows in his home after changing his diet. What secondary “fences” or primary boundaries do you need to set? I’m separated after 34 years of marriage to a covert narcissistic husband, and my adult sons show narcissistic tendencies. Can you give me biblical advice on helping them while grieving the loss of my 22-year-old son to
