Suicidal ideation is something commonly experienced by people in the church, but is either rarely talked about or is met with over-spiritualization, causing more harm than good. I'm joined today with my friend, David Waldy, as we talk about our own experiences with suicide and how our Christian upbringing influenced some of our very negative self-perception. There's a huge stigma around suicide culturally, but even more so within the church. My hope is that this episode will help to dispel som of the sting associated with the topic and provide relief and comfort for those suffering.  If you are contemplating harming yourself, please call 988, no matter where you live in the United States. People are waiting to help you.  Contact David: http://www.davidwaldy.com/ https://www.tiktok.com/@davidwaldy/ https://www.youtube.com/c/davidwaldy   Support the podcast and become a patreon.
