So this week’s episode isn’t for the faint of heart, but someone has to record on it. Let’s chat about suicide: the soteriological considerations, the sobering statistics, some profiles of people who want you to kill yourself, why you shouldn’t do it and how to get you or your friends out of suicidal moods.

I don’t care what anyone says, this podcast is gold.
It nudged me to look up a term, soteriology. A science of salvation! There is a write-up somewhere on the webs, I am not going to quote the link because SuperLutheran did not write it so it may not be welcome.
But for a civilian like myself, it was useful to learn of the 5 prominent SMEs, subject matter experts.
Calvin, Luther, Wesley, Finney the revivalist and Barth. The youngest of all five died in the year I was born. Barth’s contribution was to focus on Christocentrism.
Strangely that’s what I advocate as well.
Learn of Christ’s life and deeds.
This knowledge changed me into who I am.
