An important conversation about the epidemic of male suicide

If not for you, please listen to this important message from ‪@DavidWaldy‬ on his personal experience with suicidal ideation even as a Christian.
This message is part of an all-new program from Promise Keepers called Carried: Real Talk on Men's Mental Health. Sign up for the full program at www.promisekeepers.org/carried.
This is some of the "real talk" that we promised through this challenge. David shares a very real, very vulnerable story which includes hitting rock bottom and his own experience with suicidal ideation.
You don't want to miss this message. If not for you, for you to understand what men are going through. We are losing our men to suicide at alarming rates. Be a part of the solution - which starts with listening and engaging in this conversation.
As David says, you need to be part of COMMUNITY. If the Promise Keepers community can be that for you, please dive in. Even if you don't "need" someone right now, form relationships now so that if you ever get to a dark place, you have men who will stand in the gap -- and you can be that man to stand in the gap for another.

The one question no one asks! If so many young men have been lost to suicide in western nations? What will be the cost for so many dead young men?

[@jonathanm9986]

Who cares. No one cared about those young men, we shouldn’t care about whether this negatively affects a nation or not

@@jonathanm9986 The net loss will effect all of us, so you should care!

[@jonathanm9986]

@@crypter27 So, if the net loss begins to affect us, our nation should have addressed the issue beforehand. It’s not like they don’t know the issue exist. They actively choose to ignore male depression and suicide because it doesn’t suit their agenda. Therefore I wouldn’t care if it leads to the downfall of the nation. They orchestrated it and they will reap what they sowed You really think the rise of male suicide is a mistake. No they planned it because they want weak men with no purpose, creating a society easier to control. They are benefiting and profiting off male depression.

"...even as a christian" there's the spiritual arrogance we all know christians for lol

[@zitofan4life]

Lol how sad must you be to focus on that one line over everything else he had to say

[@mexicanbanjo9325]

Classic anti theist moment. No matter the content of a message you become hateful of a person you don’t even know. There’s the casual hatred of an internet atheist we all know them for.

9 million children die every year before the age of five. Most of them have parents who believe in God, and they are praying all the while for their innocent child. For those 9 million, year over year, not one of those prayers is answered. I think we're deluding ourselves calling that "love." If God exists, which I personally doubt, he is either impotent or evil.

Great points from a different perspective. Never saw it like that. But it's true.
