Suicide Solution. In this episode, we sit with Martin Luther and C.S. Lewis to discuss the topic of self-murder ("suicide"). We talk about focusing on higher truth, how individualism leads to harmful consequences, and how Christians and churches may discuss this with others.

This episode discusses suicide directly. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, US) — and reach out to a pastor, a friend, or family, not just a stranger on the internet.
