Who died, Rick Warren?
Most of the population is on drugs (prescription or not) and those drugs cause a lot of suicides. But, the real problem stems from not having a "real" relationship with Jesus. If ppl look to the world for their happiness and fulfillment, they will never be happy. Life is full of disappointments and failures. So, when ppl make this world, their main or only focus, they are going to be depressed. But, when ppl make Jesus the most important part of their lives, they will have peace. Nothing in this world matters. All that matters is the life outside of this world. Once ppl realize that, it's easy to get past life's disappointments. We are fulfilled through our relationship with Jesus.
Oh my Lord. I haven't watched this yet the title alone is so hurtful and alarming
Why would someone turn their life over to a counselor? We are supposed to turn our lives over to Jesus. He's the only one we can trust to make decisions which, are best for us. Only His answers are trustworthy. Only He can truly understand our struggles. Only He knows what the real solution is for us. Nobody should trust another human to make those kinds of decisions for them. May God bless everyone, whom reads this.
who
why arent u telling us who
There's nothing wrong with suicide after age fourty. Life is killing us everyday anyway. If you're young, then I don't condone it. Life is short, brutal, we age horribly in decaying bodies. All humans do is work and pay bills in ever declining bodies. Life sucks, and we live too long. Humans should die by our fifties anyway. If God exists he's brutal for creating such suffering
Seek God and we shall find him. I've sought him my whole life, he doesn't exist. It's all evolution, and evolution kills us after fourty anyway. There's nothing wrong with suicide.
Reason Christian going through depression is they are not listening to the holy spit. We just want to do our own thing. He trying get our attention. But we are no listening.
I think most of the pastors lack the calling and anointing of the Almighty God.
If we take out the psychological impact and just command the thing. Jesus didn't do anything like that. The weak must say your strong. Pray with out ceasing and love your neighbor as yourself.
so many people feel trapped in places they hate. no joy or love. get the toxic people and places out of your life. you will feel great happiness again and wonder why you lost so many years feeling depressed. drop the guilt and shame that toxic people made you feel in the first place that you carried for years.
Very few carry the MANTEL BREAKERS ANOINTING ON THEIR LIVES, VERY FEW ARE CALLED TO PRAY/BRING DELIVERANCE TO THERE PASTERS LIVER..THAT THE PROBLEM.
It’s easy to play armchair therapist or to be one of Job’s “friends” as you look down at someone suffering with depression. Just to silence the critics…Unless you’ve been through the “Valley of the shadow of death,” PERSONALLY…then remain SILENT.
Thank you…thank you…thank you to the wise and the merciful for not being judgmental, critical or self righteous as many commenters here have been.
I’m just beginning to walk out of the valley of the shadow of death. It has been a period of deep depression and severe anxiety. But through the Lord’s help, kindness of friends and family, a wonderful therapist, doctors and medication, I’m coming out.
Right before this happened I rcvd a prophet word, “You are going on a journey, a trip, but the Lord is with you.” Also others in times past which said “You will reach out to a hurting community,” “Become a part of law enforcement community that will touch many spheres of the community,” “You will offer a shoulder to cry on, and the arms of comfort.” Do ya think maybe God is preparing me to help the helpless?🤔 I believe He is.
Unless one has walked in the shoes of another, their self righteous words of discouragement will be nothing more than a painful echo like the sounds in a white washed tomb.
On my worst day I began to feel physical symptoms in my body and my balance. My friend drove me to urgent care. The doctor asked me if I pray. I said “Yes, are you a Christian?” He said he was and then asked if he could pray for me. That’s when heaven opened up for me and things started to turn around. I wept with my face buried in my hands. Jesus was letting me know that HE is leading me through this journey to heal my past and then to help others who are hurting.
Done. It’s no wonder the world looks at Christians as being self righteous and judgmental. You are devouring your own family here. Many of you should be ashamed and repent. My GOD, give someone a cup of water…Jesus said.
My God, what is wrong with Christians. Suicide is a SPIRITUAL issue, not mental. Keep trying to fix the old, dead man and see how far you get…smh
Psychology deals with behavior, Christianity deals with the cause.
When I have wings like a sparrow I go to a place I sing Amazing Grace.
Christian counseling does not have any answers by her own admission . Only the Holy Spirit has the answer but , if one lives and preaches in a carnal realm demonic oppression and depression sets in !
Unfortunately California docs have a reputation for giving meds that don’t mix. Find out the meds the pastor was on. Famous people with unending funds commit suicide. The meds don’t always help and can make depression worse.
Read, Spurgeon's Sorrows.'
Everyone that calls the name of Christ isn't a believer.
It’s not a mental health problem, it’s a spiritual problem. Spiritual warfare.
She does seem like a very caring counselor.
Jesus is the only Answer to your problems
CLICKBAIT! This is just an interview about suicide – no actual pastor is mentioned here. 😒 What a waste of 6 minutes!
Oh & CBN News, please tell me who that California megachurch "pastor" was that took his own life after he dealt with mental health challenges?!
People keep asking who the pastor is. Pastor Andrew Stoecklein
My sympathies for the family they're in my prayers. The ministry of Christ is a CALLING not a VOCATION most pastors operate in the flesh and not in the spirit. Most church structures are out of order as they make the pastor the front man. The apostle Paul outline church structure clearly in scripture and we tend to do our own thing.
Some claim to be salt and yet are more like artificial sweetener😂
What pastor? Where is the story?
Very sad, we need to look after one another as much as we can, time is short
Which Pastor?
yes the churches hide things quite well ..bury their head in shame covered by sand
Becsuse they are fake and liars.
People. Just
Can't be real
About who they
Are as pastor's
People will
Condemn THEM.
Pastor they needs more money what's about GOD ALL CHURCHES FAKES ONLY JESUS ES CAMINO LA VERDAD Y LA VIDA NADIE VA AL PADRE SI NO POR MI AMEN
if Jesus is not your Head, then someone else is ruling you.
I get so tired of people blaming the victim. All you have to do is pray??? How many here have had clinical depression? Being a little sad from time to time is not clinical depression. Doesn't it occur to you that the medications may have been made, because God knew how many depressed ones there were to be in the last days? By praying and doing nothing, not accepting medications might just be sinning against the holy spirit, because of not doing something for yourself. I've been there and done that. I am here today because I wasn't so holier than thou not to take meds., when Yashua knew that was the help that I needed. When you pray, you might try to do something to help yourself, and Yashua will be assured that your truly meant what you say in pray. Don't believe everything you read on the net. There are a lot of nuts out there, the Deep State for one, that want you to be miserable. Off my soapbox on this subject. It just angers me how many naive people are out there You know very well that if you break a bone, it needs set. I suppose you do that all by yourself.
Sadly many pastors have read God's Word enough to pass seminary exams and assignements, but never to find God's heart for themselves. It's only when they do the latter that they are filled with the life Jesus promised his life would bring. If they had truly read the word, then they wouldn't war against 1 Corinthians 14: 1 and God's power. "Man does not live by bread alone, but by EVERY word that proceedith from the mouth of God." Mattthew 4: 10
Psalm 1:1
The lie These Preachers live while supposedly representing God eats them alive
So much for healing in Jesus
You people really don't understand…(comment section)
I personally don't believe any truly born again person can commit suicide. Why? Because God doesn't call anyone to do such a thing and it's not his will in purpose. Don't think you're born again? BE SURE
The answer to our problems really is "JESUS". If a Counselor can't point you in that direction GET UP AND RUN!!!
Be it believer or non, both are facing the same challenging lives, but the way to handle the challenges is different. Believers count on the Holy Spirit to deal with their lives situation and that is the difference…
Committing suicide is a faithless act the Bible says believers have a sound mind I think Issac Newton , Chuck Missler are examples of the modern christian life scripture says prove all things doesn't mean to ignore math and science almost all of modern tech was birthed by believers , things changed around the 1900s when Einstein wrote the miracle papers and the world took over even when Galileo invented the telescope and the Andromeda Galaxy was observed in more detail one of the first reactions was God didn't create that starting mankind down the path of evolution yet the Lord said everyone one of your hairs are numbered he wasn't just talking about one person I believe he meant everyone that has ever existed and everyone that ever will exsist ,if you multiply the potential number of people by the average number hairs on your head which is about 100,000 and include all the animals hairs that is a huge number I believe that is almost a prophecy Him knowing in the future of man's tech discovering there could be a trillion Galaxies and multiply that by stars and planets moons asteroids I think the numbers would close to the same that to me is astounding because God deals in massively huge numbers plus people keep multiplying while the universe has a limited amount of matter when the Lord said His Father dwells in unapproachable light He is saying God is infinite yet in math infinity is mostly used in integral calulus yet this person says no difference between believers and unbelievers well if your a believer infinity in eternity is yours , the unbelievers have only eternity without the Lord
