Magnified

Christians With Suicidal Thoughts, This Message Is for You

Scripture doesn't sugarcoat pain. Elijah, Job, David, Saul, Judas, and Jesus are just a few who battled despair and sorrow. In this video, we give an overview of their experiences, and draw wisdom out of these raw stories. But most importantly, we point you to the hope of the gospel that penetrates the darkness. If you're struggling, this is a reminder: God sees you, and your story isn't over. 

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, it is important to seek help immediately. 
You can contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
