Suicide brings crushing grief to thousands of families every year, including Christian families. When a Christian takes their own life, loved ones often wrestle with doubt about the deceased individual's eternal destiny, further deepening the sense of loss and grief.
In this episode, Dr. David K. Bernard addresses the topic of suicide from both a theological and a pastoral perspective, examining what the Bible says about the value of human life while offering comfort to those who have lost someone they love to suicide.
If you are concerned about suicide and don’t know what to do, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). They have trained counselors available 24/7 to speak with either you or your loved one.
