How to Combat Suicide for You or a Loved One

Every 12 minutes another person commits suicide in the United States. That’s heartbreaking! Find out what you can do to help save a life!

With so many people talking about the recent suicide of Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, now is the time to talk about what we can do to solve the problem. The second leading death among young people is suicide. Today’s media, pop culture and news is full of negative messages that not only promote suicide but can cause us to become depressed, anxiety ridden or stressed out. However, I am relieved to announce that there is hope and an answer to this devastating trend.

Ray Comfort, the founder of Living Waters Ministry, guides us through the hard topic of SUICIDE for this week’s episode. The why, how and what we can do to help others or get help for ourselves will be addressed. Our main focus will be on the newly released movie Ray produced called EXIT: The Appeal of Suicide.

Episode 19: How to combat suicide for you or a loved one.

Conclusion

Suicide is a serious issue, especially in America. I strongly believe our negative media, news and entertainment are causing many people to feel depressed and hopeless! Let’s turn off the negative messages and open the Bible to read God’s truth. If you’re wanting information on the top signs that someone could be suicidal, you can read a previous blog I wrote on that subject here.

THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE: Ask God to bring to mind anyone you know that might be suicidal, stressed, depressed or full of anxiety. Take them to lunch, pray with them and offer them encouragement and support. Give your friend a copy of the Exit movie and if it’s very serious, find a counselor that can help. Sometimes we don’t realize that one simple step, like making a phone call, sending a card or taking a friend to lunch, could literally help save a life.

Question: Who is God bringing to mind that might need to watch this movie and read the book? Share your thoughts by clicking here!
