Suicide Awareness

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicide, please reach out to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988lifeline.org or simply dial 988.

Talking about suicide is uncomfortable. For some, the topic is deeply painful. However, we cannot ignore it. Below the video, you can download the companion PDF for the video as well as find resources.

In this session, we look at suicide from both a biblical and a clinical perspective in a candid question and answer format. Some of the questions addressed in this video by our panel are:

  • Is suicide a sin?

  • Does suicide change God’s plans for a person?

  • What’s going through someone’s mind who is suicidal?

  • How do we recognize someone who is suicidal (especially if they are hiding it)?

  • What steps should we take when we think someone is suicidal?

  • What questions can we ask if we think someone is suicidal?

  • What are some ways people can process suicide without having all the details?

Our panel:

Dr. Larry Wieland, LISAC, EdD

Pastor Bill Meiter, M.Div
