Question: The first reason given for suicide being wrong is that it is a sin to take a life, even your own, but the second reason given is that only God can take life. So is God sinning by taking life given that line of reasoning? I can see clients arguing that point.
I love this so much! Calling loneliness a "dashboard warning light"  is brilliant. It's not something to be feared or medicated, but to trigger awareness of our deepest need not being met by the Savior. I can't wait to get my hands on your book. I ordered a lot of copies to share in counseling. May the Lord bless you.
Sadly, I did not feel hope after listenin to this. I felt guilty. Which is probably my pride. Going to listen again to see what I missed.🥺
So so good 👍! ! Not sheltering but shepherding and engaging!
I'm not a ACBC counselor, but I do seek to speak truth into other sisters lives and I found this episode very helpful and insightful. Thank you for this and for all previous episodes! -Anita
I very much enjoyed this podcast but a common theme I'm hearing is inconsistency in the volume caused by not being close enough to the microphone I think, this makes it difficult to listen to as the volume keeps needing to be adjusted. I know it's only a little thing but I thought you'd want to know so you can work it out for next time. My sincere thanks for always staying true to scripture and tackling those big topics, it's had a huge impact on my relationships and work with young people
