What do you do when your own mind tells you to quit?

In this powerful and compassionate episode of The Cornerstone Shield and Shelter Podcast, we confront one of the most painful realities of our time — depression, suicidal thoughts, and spiritual despair.

More than one million people worldwide die by suicide each year. Countless others silently battle hopelessness, anxiety, trauma, and emotional exhaustion. If you or someone you love is struggling with depression or thoughts of giving up, this message is for you.

In this biblically grounded yet deeply compassionate sermon, we answer difficult questions:

• What does the Bible say about suicide? • Is suicide an unforgivable sin? • Can a Christian struggle with suicidal thoughts? • Where is God when despair feels overwhelming?

Through Scripture, truth, and pastoral care, we dismantle the lie that your life has no future. We address the difference between sin and suffering, the reality of mental health struggles, and the hope found in Jesus Christ — even when you cannot feel it.

This episode speaks directly to those battling depression, anxiety, trauma, emotional burnout, and spiritual darkness. It is a message of Christian hope, suicide prevention awareness, and the reminder that your story is not finished.
