60. Suicide and the Hope of God- With Jon Noyes from Stand to Reason Ministries

Did you know that in 2020, 45,979 Americans died by suicide?

According to SAVE.org, suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the US, approximately 125 Americans die by suicide every day, there is one suicide death every 11.5 minutes, it is the 3rd leading cause of death in 15-24 year olds, and there is estimated 1 death in every 25 suicide attempts. 

In today’s episode, Kristin had a chance to sit down with Former atheist, now speaker with Stand to Reason, Jon Noyes to talk about this critical issue. Stand to Reason trains Christians to think more clearly about their faith and to make even-handed, incisive yet gracious defense for classical Christianity and Christian values in the public square. Stand To Reason teaches the value of using our minds to love God and share the gospel. 

If you or someone you know are contemplating suicide, please know that you are not alone, there is hope, and you are a part of God’s master plan for history. We pray that this episode will bring you hope in whatever you are facing. Life can be hard, but you have a wonderful Creator who loves you and will pull you through any trial you may face.
