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?
