Hope in the Midst of Grief, Depression and Loss - Rick and Kay Warren - HTB at Home

[@dlynch1898]

Life can be good again. I haven’t lost a child but have survived years of abuse. I still look in the mirror to see if I’m the same person. I still wake up during the night reliving some of those moments of abuse. I’m 74 and still feel like I’m reliving the abuse like it was yesterday. But I have a the word of God that has the promises and the rock that I stand on. Thank you for understanding and teaching about mental illness and grief. I appreciate hearing your teachings today especially how the church should reach out to others. I promise you that I will keep reaching out changing lives living like Jesus Christ and encouraging and lifting up others. Rick I’ve read your book the purpose driven life and still quote from it. Many blessings to the four of you I love you bunches 💕❤️😘

I just found your ministry after someone posted on Alliance for Hope. I lost my 16 year old son Will to suicide 6/24/2020. I will never be the same person as I was before I lost my son,how can I be . The sadness is overwhelming and I will forever miss my sweet boy but You and Kay give me hope.

Thank you so much. I was looking for hope after a devastating loss about 7 months ago. I was hoping for so long that it’s been hard to let go. It is comforting to hear you speak of grief not having a timetable, though the Lord called me to not lie down in that valley of grief but keep moving forward. Sometimes it seems so hard to do. To not let grief turn into depression. I recently came across a verse that struck a deep chord - it was in Zechariah 9:12 “ Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope.” I need to keep returning to the Lord, my fortress; for I am grateful to be a ‘prisoner’ of the only certain hope - Jesus Christ.”

Thank you, this is helping me so much. I recently lost my grandmother and I had never experienced a loved one’s death. Thank you for your sincerity and sharing your hope bc life can seem so depressing sometimes but I will continue to believe.

just a brilliant interview so helpful to everyone who has experienced any loss

Loved this so much. I’ve watched the series on grief Rick did at Saddleback many years ago, and haven’t stopped listening since. I’ve recently read Kay’s book Dangeroys Surrender and am so inspired.

A good preacher will bring helpful teaching to the flock, who will say what good preaching. A great preacher will bring glory to God and bring the flock to say, " What a great Saviour!"

In my own experience when someone you love dearly has suicidal ideation it’s so important that that person can feel able to express all of their thoughts and pain without censoring it for fear of your disapproval. What worries me is that if someone is in that much anguish that they feel they have no other option ( I’ve heard suicide survivors describe it like a terrible urge to scratch an itch they can’t control ) its pivotal that we can stare into the abyss with them. That means taking how they are feeling at face value and not trying to mould it into something less terrifying or painful to ourselves. I think like Rick says surviving family members of suicide just need “presence”so too do people in our midst who are in the kind of agonising invisible psychological and spiritual pain which leads them to want death as an escape from this life. It’s truly heartbreaking. We have so much more to learn and do regarding suffering and mental health. I think God will call us to go deep and then Deeper still in our prayer and contemplation of this area.

I lost my 13 year old son to suicide 5 years ago. Thank you for being so honest xxx

[@jude1515]

Prayers for you.

[@sarahannetennant551]

So sorry for your loss Sue, lots of love, hugs and prayers xxxxxxx

[@teagang6492]

I think it’s highly important for people to take this sort of happiness and view what happening it’s good to know the life of freedom from suicidal thoughts and feelings, it’s good to know what happening and it’s good to know what’s going on, it’s good to know that everything in life is important, it’s good to know that blame and self hate can happen but you can through it. It’s really important for other people to know that life will continue and that this life will never end, everything happens for a reason. I was suicidal and this life is important I will keep laughing and keep close family and friends near me because all sorts of evil stuff will continue to happen. This life is so important people can be bullied and lies about but family has always been successful in making this life completely correct 😍🥰 God is correct

I have experienced shunning from Christian’s when I was prayed for and nothing happened not knowing I had issues with brain injury.

[@ianbetts4435]

Why do they call Rick Warren a false teacher on the internet?

[@bryantotten2757]

Be careful of this character assignation syndrome going on online these days.sometimes error and false teachers do need exposing but I don,t believe it all.Concering Rick probably jealousy or fear

[@Inharmonics]

Unfortunately every remotely well-known protestant Christian teacher is called this online, with websites, videos, comments etc. decrying them - unless they are of a certain camp (reformed fundamentalist or related groups.) I know some of these teachers, and have found them wonderfully loving and the "real deal". Still, these ministers or missionaries were the target of "heresy hunting" like anyone else. A sad internet phenomenon.

[@Eka5304]

I’m asking the same question as well..
