Our hope is not in this world and our hope is not in the people in this world...our hope of the world.
Suicide is a topic many shy away from, but it's a reality that needs addressing, especially for those grappling with addiction. In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley take on this heavy subject with compassion and faith. Dr. Shaw reflects on the haunting lyrics of 'S.O.S.' by Glorious Sons, which paints a bleak picture of despair and addiction.
He reminds us that true hope isn't found in worldly things but in Christ and the promise of eternal life. The episode dives deep into how biblical counseling can offer a lifeline to those contemplating suicide. Dr. Shaw shares practical advice on how to support someone struggling with these thoughts, emphasizing the critical role of community and faith.
He also explores powerful Bible verses like Romans 15:13 and Proverbs 15:13, which speak to the heart's capacity for joy and peace through belief. Listeners will find solace in the message that they're not alone in their struggles. The hosts stress the importance of a supportive community and faith-based interventions in overcoming addiction and finding hope. Whether you're battling suicidal thoughts yourself or want to help someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a message of redemption.
