In this heavy episode, Grant sits down with Jacob Coyne, the founder of the incredible "Stay Here" movement. He shares the powerful story of how a conversation in Dallas led to a partnership with 57 NFL quarterbacks for a suicide prevention campaign that reached over 200 million people. Jacob debunks the #1 myth that holds most leaders back from helping those who are struggling. He gets practical about what to do and say when someone you know uses language like, "I don't want to be here anymore." This isn't just about awareness; it's about action. It's about having the courage to be direct and the compassion to build communities where people can actually find healing. If you're a pastor, a youth leader, or just someone who wants to know how to love people who are struggling well, this is for you.
