26: Helping People With Thoughts of Suicide

During this episode, Pastor Jeff will give you some practical concepts to help you counsel those that are suffering from thoughts of suicide. Wisdom and discernment come from God, but we are tasked with the responsibility to help others with God's word. God has equipped every believer to help those we know overcome suicidal thoughts. It is not a simple task to help those who struggle with thoughts of suicide, but nevertheless God has placed His people in the lives of those who may need help. God has also given us the best tool we could ever use to combat these thoughts, the Bible. 

Pastor Jeff uses the 4 L's. These four L's are love, listen, launch, and lean. Check out episode 26 to understand practical biblical actions to help those who struggle with thoughts of suicide.
