"Faith and Mental Health" with Chris Shelton
This week we're talking with Pastor Chris Shelton and are diving deeper into his sermon "Faith and Mental Health." In this episode will be talking about Christianity and suicide, and how we as Christians should respond to and have conversations about this issue. While this is a very serious and difficult topic to discuss, we believe it is important for Christians to be aware of and open to these types of conversations.
If you or a loved one is struggling with thoughts of suicide, we urge you to to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 or chat with them online at SuicidePreventionLifeline.org/chat.
