Desperate Times, Desperate People: Responding to Suicide

March 21, 2015
Jan Markell, Dr. Marcus Bachmann, and Larry Kutzler lead a round table discussion with those “left behind” after suicide. Our desperate times are producing desperate people, many of them Christians who take their own life. Loved ones speak into this for the hour. How should the church react? Is this the unpardonable sin as some say it is? Or is God’s grace broad enough to cover this sin? Learn more at www.engagesdg.org. We use the mobile app from www.oneplace.com.

Jan Markell and Eric Barger spend the entire hour with Dr. Mark Hitchcock discussing the supposed trips to Heaven and Hell and back. Are they for real? Why do so many of them contradict the Bible? The co-hosts and Hitchcock spend an extended time on “Heaven Is for Real,” Dr. Mary Neal, and Don Piper. Why could Paul not speak about his trip to Heaven but people can today?
