Sitting in Suffering: Suicide and addiction

In episode 151, Tim Lodgen's powerful story allows us to go deeper into a topic we've only lightly addressed: suicide.  Suicide is difficult to discuss; it's a topic that carries deep emotions, difficult theology, and hefty stigmas.  However, not discussing it leaves the many who wrestle with suicidal thoughts feeling more alone.  The truth is, they aren't alone; these emotions and mindsets can be found in scripture.  Tim and I don't give answers, but we do create space to discuss this hard topically honestly.  Tim also shares transparently his challenging journey with addiction, and how God was with him even when he couldn't believe it. How has the God brought you peace amidst hopelessness?
