The Bible Project Daily Podcast Two Men – Two Different Ends. (1 Samuel 31: 1-13)
The subject of today’s episode is one we usually avoid in polite conversation, and honestly, I have never heard it addressed from the pulpit. We’re talking about the decision to take one's own life, suicide.
I know that just saying the word can cause a tightening in the chest. But we have to talk about it, because 1 Samuel 31 very clearly ends with King Saul taking his own life.
If you, or if you know someone is struggling, I want you to hear me clearly: There is hope.
Before you go any further, I want you to write a number down. Put it in your phone.
In the US, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is 988.
In the UK, it’s an organization called The Samaritans, and you can call them free on 116 123
They're free, it’s confidential, and it’s available 24/7. Please, don't try to walk through that "narrow" place alone.
