May is Mental Health Awareness month so we spend this episode on suicide awareness. Pastor Obie Batista is the co-host and brings great wisdom, knowledge and personal experience regarding mental health. If you do not struggle with mental health, first, thank God for that, next, please listen to the episode because there is a good chance you have a son, daughter, spouse, family member, friend, co-worker or just a casual acquaintance that does.

In this episode we discuss three major topics: 1.) Statistics regarding mental health and specifically suicide, 2.) signs to be aware of that could indicate that a person is struggling mentally and some suggestions on how connect with that individual, 3.) the HOPE that exists for all of us - Jesus Christ. Regardless of your struggle or the stage of the struggle that you are in, there IS hope and that hope comes from Jesus.

If you are struggling, please don't go through it alone. Reach out to any of the resources below to get help. As we discuss in this episode, asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. We all have a story and a testimony, God can use your struggles to help someone else!
