This week's question: "How can I stop feeling so lonely? I don't know what to do." Find out in this week's episode of the Ask in Faith Podcast. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I often get asked questions about our beliefs and practices. I can only speak for myself, not as an official Church representative, but here are my responses to some of those commonly asked questions. This short video certainly doesn't answer every question, so I'd encourage you to continue seeking truth on this subject, while also remembering that the Lord often asks us to obediently trust Him while we wait for further light and knowledge. Hope it helps! RESOURCES ON THIS SUBJECT: - Crisis Phone Numbers: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/suicide-crisis-help-lines/in-crisis?lang=eng - Spencer W.
