New Life LIVE: September 9, 2026

calendar September 9, 2026

Topics: Adult Children, Boundaries & Self-Care, Estrangement, Family Relationships

Hosts: Brian Perez, Dr. Alice Benton, PsyD, Dr. Jim Burns, PhD

Caller Questions & Discussion:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. 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?
