How to overcome depression and suicide? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
This year America is headed toward a record 40,000 deaths by suicide. It is the second leading cause of death for those aged 10-24.
Unrepentant sin and unresolved conflict are what lead to depression, and depression is the path that leads to suicide. But there is hope. The Psalmist says, Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him.
Knowing and drawing near to God, and feeding on His truth, is where the hope comes to overcome depression and suicide.
This weekend, we’ll discuss the power of one-to-one discipleship.
