Just like every other organ in the body, the brain can severely malfunction. Think of it like a heart attack. RIP to this young man. Celebrate his life and the good he has done during his time here. It will all make sense in time.
His humor and his smile is truly missed amongst many but to his family smh it’s soo hard. It hurts I’m sure. He spoke truth, no matter the sin God judges is differently. Amen to this brother, bless his soul Lord.
Well, a quick browse through the comments and I'm reminded of why I left the Church. Hypochristians everywhere! What's that quote? ‘I Like Jesus - it’s His followers I can’t stand’. RIP Jarrid and may the Creator give his wife and children comfort and peace.
Jesus didn't come for saints but sinners. The churches are full of sinners. Your sin can be hypocrisy, another man sin could be something else. Among all churches you will find people who are lukewarm, those in a process of being saved and those of backsliding and losing their salvation. How is your faith growing now that you are on your own?
good morning queen. Just wanted to left thou up. I praise God for giving you a 2ndchance at life. I too was given a 2chance. You definitely dont look at life the same way. I pray for healing and restoration for his family. Breaks my heart. I know that somehow God will work it all for good. God bless you sis, stay up In Him.. 👍🏼🙏🏼✌🏼
as a muslim i don't think people should be mad at Jarrid Wilson, i know truly religious people tend to be stronger mentally and less prone to depression since they already have a permanent purpose which is the afterlife reward (especially for us , qur''an giving muslims a whole productive lifestyle away from the negativity the society tried to shove in everybody) , bible''s almost as close too. away from religions suicidal people tend to help suicidal people because they relate , the sad thing is he wasn't fully believing in his reasons himself .. may he RIP.
God makes all things beautiful in His own time, out of tragedy comes growth, wisdom and light. I pray his family is coping and on the road toward healing, God is love!!!!
The real problem here is that we dont learn to believe and act on the power of forgiving ourselves for the sins we committed or may commit. I was quick to forgive others but I realize i wasnt forgiving myself of my own sins which led to a war in my mind of guilt and unworthiness. The devils drills this area hard. But once you forgive yourself and believe it, the devil has no room to bring you into condemnation.
Some of y'all are so quick to hate on a man who sinned by killing himself. Saying he wasn't a true Christian but the truth is we all make mistakes we've all sinned. Please stop acting like the Hypocrites that Jesus rebuked because it isn't acting like Jesus it isn't uplifting to others. Depression is a serious issue that many people face and if you are going through depression and have suicidal thoughts call a hotline get help. I believe in the power of the holy spirit being more than able to heal us but I also believe in using wisdom and taking care of yourself. If you need the help then get it.
His death is the epitome of realness. We all trying to be good enough and not feeling like it's enough. God doesnt give answers to the questions to the stuff we have questions about and as Christians, we hear " God wont give you more than u can bear" but that's clearly not true. If you are a pastor and feel the pressure to be perfect and you feel like s"$# on the inside, just step down and take care of yourself. Forgetting trying to save face. Care for yourself. Don't put the church first. Take care of you because your family needs you.
your "CHURCH" is your "Temple", the spirit within; yesssssssssssss... I agree, please in the name of Jesus Christ; please take care of your inner Spirit. Concentrate on that, and forgive yourself; it doesn't matter what you've done or you are going to do: you are FORGIVEN.
His suicide opens many doors of asking why ...i have always said that there is a huge price to pay when you go into ministry because of the huge accountability to the people you preach in front of ...someone dropped the ball in his church with him...they should of seen the struggles he had and asked him to step down until he was better but instead he was aloud to keep going and now he has damaged many christians by his deed ......
All those Christians are suppose to have a personal relationship with Christ and read their own Bible. The pastor isn't to be worshipped, he is a vessel that God uses to deliver a message.
In God's perfect time your story will make sense. May love, comfort, hope, support and joy overflow to your family. Believing that your offspring will continue your legacy, and they too will be the vessel of God's love.
Jesus gave us his holy spirit. Remember if you have the fruits of the spirit of God Do you think you will commit suicide? Jesus himself is the king of peace He gives us peace and our peace is in him Self control is one gift of the holy spirit. Do you think when you cut yourself and blast yourself with a gun , is that having self control or does that manifest an inner peace of state of mind? You can answer that biblically and refer to that verses. Without self control you can do everything to your self.
Depression Is a mental health condition, it's a disease that need to address. I've been there and I can say it's not easy to overcome. It's a hopeless situations and feelings that you can't do by your own. We need medical assistance if we experience such condition. Psychiatrist and Psychologist are the people that can truly understand what is happening inside our brains. It's a long time process of healing. Everyone is vulnerable in experiencing such condition. I really thank God how I totally recover form that kind of experience. With the help of some doctors by giving medicines, I was able to recover and improve my condition and of course the GREATEST HEALER is JESUS! Don't judge people who are in that kind of condition, they need understanding, accpetance, respect and more importantly love and prayers. It's not only psychological or mental battle but also spiritual battle! God bless eveyone!
Isn't it true that God is the God of the living? How can one kill himself while wanting to be a living child of God? It is not right to judge, but it is right to turn away from suicidal thoughts. And this is a good opportunity to talk about this. If one falls it is better for the other 99 to turn away from that cliff. Run away from that cliff! Better to ask God to take you back to Him and be willing to follow Jesus till the time arrives and God answers your request. I also had suicidal thoughts, but I asked Jesus' help, fasted for three days while I was insisting Jesus to help me with my porn addiction. Shortly after I found myself free, everything was gone. No addiction, no suicidal thoughts anymore. Maybe this short testimony helps others see life from a different angle. It is worth it to run to Jesus. It is worth it to cry out to God to help you. Let Him the decision to keep you in His harvest or not, and not be yours to leave.
Mc 13:13 “You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.” God tells us that we will have pain, suffering, persecutions for His name and that The devil is always there to confuse you and to lie, to Steal and distroy. I’m really sorry and sad FoR what pastor Jarrid did, with this things a lot of chiristian and unbelivers are confused Now. God knows his pain, indeed. I’m sad that he didnt knew how to let the Holy Spirit of God to help him to pass Over The depresion stage... Its very sad 😪
@@Alexa4ev3r to some people, depression can't be cured, neither healed. Like King David, psychologically, he was depressed for his whole life. He died in despair and he wrote Psalms with the notion of poverty. In this case, it becomes a limp. Everyone walks their life with a limp, and limps exist for us to make use of the God-given strength in us. As what Paul heard from the Lord, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made PERFECT IN YOUR WEAKNESSES". In my opinion, Jarrid's death show us the strength that God had given to him in his struggles. Take a look now, people are talking about the stigma of mental health and how important it is for us, Christians, to take it seriously and not just something to be carried in a Pentecostal healing rally or just a one-time advice to move on. Recovery takes process and recovery is a step to healing.
Ezra Jalin, I agree with your opinion. But let’s think about the apostles, did they had some ‘special’ treatment for this mental health that we are all confronting? Only the SCRIPTURES. From there is the POWER. But I repeat, I understand your opinion and I agree with it. We should have a serious action in this directions, like doing all we can to support constantly the Christians who haves depression and other problems. I had a hard time last year and this year, I can tell you I had a lot of support from family and close friends, but the only one who was there for me when no one could was Jesus. And he delivered me from depression, anxiety and a lot of fear... the devil wanted to destroy my mental health and I was feeling like nothing and was thinking sometimes: why I need to live? I don’t see any hope for me... that’s why I RUN to Him and he really was my STONE and REFUGE! I don’t judge pastor for what he did... I just want all to know that Jesus NEVER LEAVES US!
@@Alexa4ev3r I disagree with the part you mentioned about the Apostles having special treatment. Historical accounts prove that the apostles weren't alone in their journey. No, I'm not just talking about God's faithfulness but I'm talking about the community that they had. The Greek words "koinonia (fellowship)" and "ekklesia (assembly/Church) speak volume to their journey. For instance, Paul had Silas and Timothy. Peter would have his own commune. Likewise, John of Patmos. Else, they wouldn't write letters. For more, you can read accounts from Jerome and Tertullian about the Apostles and the Church Fathers. The truth is, it's very subjective to say that the Scripture gives healing. It doesn't apply to every Christians. In fact, Scriptures are to be read under guidance. Even atheists know that. Jarrid understood hope, and he was hopeful until his last breath. He knew the Scripture, he was devoted and yet, depression took a toll on him. Like I said, King David experienced God and was after God's heart the whole time and yet lived a life of depression. On the other hand, I'm glad that you're healed through the meditation of the Scripture but let me emphasize this: It's very subjective. Just because it applies to you doesn't mean it applies to everyone. Else, famous preachers and theologians would've been bettering emotionally and mentally. Unfortunately, they weren't and that is okay. Truth be told, we seek perfection in these people but we forgot that humanity can't be redeem without brokenness. We are all limping in our walk no matter how far God has redeem us. The Good News is, the work of resurrection is still ongoing.
There was only 1 perfect man in this world...and everyone hung him to a cross and crucified him....so everyone else stand in line...it's not about our righteousness, if it was, we'd all be in hell....that's the beauty of salvation....it's not about us...it's about HIM, Christ and Him crucified....undeserving grace....heartbreaking to hear about this....but just know, there's always hope....#InJesusname
@iloveChrist...i agree, no one should take their life...its not ours to take...but we gotta start lifting one another up instead of casting stones when our fellow brethren are entangled in something...theres no condemnation for those in Christ...only conviction that can come from the Holy Spirit...its a daily battle. The most precious thing we can handle is a human soul...stay prayed up..lets lift up this mans family and pray that God comfort and restore them during this time. 🙏
@@DavidRobledo22 We can pray for his family yes but we can't do anything about this person. There is hope for us who is still alive, but there is no hope for the ones who are never trusted Jesus and that includes the ones who takes their own life. I'm sorry but we have to stick with the TRUTH even if you don't want to hear it.. People needs to know that is not easy following Christ. And they also need to know know that taking their own life are going to heaven, which is not true. Bible is very clear, Let God do his will not ours!! Like I say is not easy following CHRIST, Is either you get attacked from your family or other people who follows a religion and not a relationship with JESUS CHRIST! WE HAVE TO STAY WITH THE TRUTH!! This is not an argument is "A" Truth!
@Al bryant...yeah, and thats a sad place to be in man. But even in those dark days of whatever anyone is facing, theres always hope...i think those things should draw us closer to God in prayer...cause we cant do it alone...heartbreaking

Like so many other so-called Pastors these days. All words. I don't see many Pastors for their congregation on a personal basis. They are not shepherding or caring for anyone, they are simply hype machines living the high-life.
Your a Christian and you judge others? Doesn’t mean he suicide he’s not a doer of the word. We all sin and we all have our weaknesses. Doesn’t mean that if you commit something wrong you’re not a doer of the word. How dare you to say that
He who is without fault cast the first stone. Its sad reading what people are writing about this pastor. He will be held at a higher standard but we as Christians should practice what Jesus preached and show compassion because thats what our father gives us every day we wake up.
PEOPLE stop condemning Jarrid. Condemnation is 100% of Satan and by displaying your condemnation you are showing whom you are aligned with. Stop it...STOP IT! You are grieving God!
Amen!! Depression is an ILLNESS. And his was severe. Unless you've experienced it, you have no idea. This precious man was incredibly brave to use his illness as a platform to reach out to others who struggle too. We have NO IDEA what happened that day, what the trigger was, whether it was impulsive or planned. What we know is that he loved the Lord and is safe with Him. Doesn't make it right. Doesn't mean his family isn't experiencing unspeakable suffering. But every man born from Adam has a sinful nature and is vulnerable. It is only by God's GRACE that we enter heaven. Jesus said, "Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone." And I see a lot of stones being thrown here, in total ignorance and judgement.
someone can read the Bible, know God but don't know the power of God, don't believe in God, don't live in the Presence of God. talk about God, but the heart doesn't believe. The Lord Jesus always cares about us, why does a pastor say the Lord Jesus cannot always save us from depression? helloooo everybody, the Lord Jesus was even able to turn water into wine, heal blind people and even rise from the dead. What things can God not solve for us if we trust Him? are u in a dark place? The Lord Jesus can set u free, but the question is do u want it or not? are you ready or not? Do you trust Jesus or not? after that then be according to ur faith. It is not Jesus who cannot save us, but we who leave Jesus' presence. Lord Jesus is very good and shining, believe He is only as far as prayer. I hope we all always in the Presence of God so that we will be safe. God bless....
There is such a thing as 'strongholds'. Satan attacks by whispering things, planting seeds, chipping away at faith, causing confusion. Evil is real and it is extremely dark and vile. Some of our brothers and sisters in Christ are suffering. They are targets. The enemy knows their weaknesses. He is wicked in his scheming. He wont stop until he wipes us out. I've experienced it myself. It's not because Jarrid didn't believe or didn't have enough faith. He might have been under the delusion that the darkness would never go away. For some people it doesn't go away. The deliverance takes time. Things are not black and white. Jesus can heal but he needs us to walk it out with him. We have to have compassion on those ones that are too weak to go on. You don't know how satan has exhausted their minds.
Another reason why we need to stop following self proclaimed "pastors" and follow the Lord Jesus instead. Pastoring is not an occupation, it should just be a natural result of Christians maturing and helping others to mature.
These comments are heartbreaking to read. How cold and callous Christians seem to be when it comes to depression and suicide. Is that what God has called the church to do? to judge people with different struggles than their own? How could you possibly be so bold as to assume you know the depths of pain others with depression are forced to endure? Your ignorant comments are not only disrespectful to Jarrid and his family, but they completely destroy your witness for people who also struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts. If someone is struggling with similar issues, why would they try to find refuge in a God or church who only judges rather than shows love and grace and understanding? Your ignorant comments are painful and cause way more harm than any good you think will come from it. If you are struggling with depression and suicide, please know that the ignorant comments of some Christians are not a reflection of Jesus, who, more than anyone else ever could, understands your pain and struggles and welcomes you with open arms always. You are not selfish or a bad person for struggling in the way that you do. And you aren't less faithful or less of a Christian for it either. God promises that He will restore us all in heaven, not necessarily on this earth. Healing will come. I find peace in knowing healing has come to Jarrid who can rest in Jesus' peace and love forever now.
Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to lead, be an author, or a pastor. A good lesson for every Christian: How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Matthew 7:4.
I definitely agree , He definitely wasn't ready because you can't play with God, Because God isn't a joke too be Played with, And you must have the real Truth of God Scripture ability to cut the Spirit of Stubbornness,Liberal Modern Thinking too Move you in the Path of Righteousness and becoming Obedient to God's Commandments.
I can't believe what you did, as a believer it's unbelievable for me and sad, I would just hope that God accept you in heaven, but I know He will. May you rest in peace
I'm very sorry but you can't take your own life.. He is not in heaven. And I don't think he will be.. You can't have that excuse to avoid the tribulation!! ALL THE GLORY TO GOD JESUS CHRIST THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE 1JOHN5:20!!
@@SandyCB7 I am so sorry to hear you say something like that. With a user name like that! You must not know him! He will be the judge of us all. Do your self a favor and get off of God's thrown. Wow..
@@esgp2868 I am so sorry that you can't take the TRUTH!! YOU CAN'T TAKE YOUR OWN LIFE.. Our life belongs to God not us.. You my friend need to learn to tell the TRUTH even if they are offended. I'M A CHILD OF GOD THAT IS WHY I TELL THE TRUTH. JESUS WAS KILLED WHY?? By telling the TRUTH!! 1 Corinthians 6:17-20 17. But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18. Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. 19. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; 20. you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Suicide is a sin! Love the sinner! Hate the sin! Does heaven accept suicide decision's? I don't know and cannot judge. But continue to live, choose to live, its a better choice, so choose life... Then pray, pray never stop praying your entire life. Love and bring the light of god onto your self! All I have is prayer and the results from prayer and or the lack of prayer and the results I have from lack of prayer! Don't know Jarrid but I love his love of God!
Only the suicide of Samson makes some controversy. Samson was before Jesus so that makes things different, sort of. However do you really want to be compared to the suicides of the bible like Judas, Saul or Jezebel?? I honestly do not know either but I do know that most of us are in continual sin and that is what needs to be corrected. Jesus would forgive everyone he came into contact with but he commanded that they go and sin no more. It is clear that you are either a good tree bearing good fruit or a bad tree bearing bad or no fruit and it is clear Jesus didn't like the bad trees. He cursed one of them and it withered away immediately according to the story. I believe that I am currently a Bad Tree and need serious surgery from God/Jesus to get rid of the corruption/corrosion. If I can't get this renewal... I am not going to make it.
Suicide is no worse than any other sin..to be guilty of one sin is to be guilty of all. so if we commit adultery, then we're also guilty of suicide. I believe he is covered by the blood
Okta Ginting he Choice! He didn’t rear the Rigth voice on the moment! ! The Devil take lives!! Ps is not ok to suicide is a sin and the Bible say go to hell ! The Devil Play if the mine but Jesus give the power and the knowledge to fight!!
Soraya the Bible literally says nowhere that you go to hell if you commit suicide. It DOES say that not even D E A T H can separate us from Jesus once we are His. Read your bible.
What is the right way to die? There is none! For the wages of sin is death. Whether it’s suicide, murder, a car accident or etc. Death exists cause of the fall. Praise God that salvation is based off the Works of Christ and not our own. I’m a bit Jelous Jarrid that your now in the presence of the Lord.
What about 1 Corinthians 5? I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people- not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler-not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”
@@iKingRev He advocated mental health. He encouraged people not to commit suicide and to get help. Him taking his life does seem to unfortunately abolish what he taught about people fighting through their mental illness.
Most sermons are projection mated with manufactured hope. This sermon tells us that he was manufacturing hope that his mental mess wasn't too much. This type of self-hypnosis sometimes works. Maybe half the time it doesn't, tho.
@@iKingRev i am far from calling him anything...it been extremely hard in my life to think of somehow there are things that are messy ....the pain he felt must obeen to much to bare,,,may rest in everlasting peace
he should leave everything for a wilderness Alone for a year, on the mountain or jungle... then maybe or maybe he could strive for survival and value the courage to live next day NOT a routine talking of ancient stories where life was short and hard cos medicines found only in holy books not from scientific reseaches.
Abd Aziz Abd Hamid You just described holy book medicine. Being in nature is medicine in many ancient religions. And it’s backed by science. They are one in the same. He was probably trying to reason his way through his depression, when in fact it is an illness that needs to stop getting fed by stress. No drugs for depression actually help depression. Only by feeding the heart what it needs can we heal it. God designed our hearts. A great book on this I read is Wild At Heart by John Eldridge
Brothers and sister in Christ please read the word of God. The bible clearly talks about all the struggles we will have on earth and taking your own life is not one of them.
The question is, what has the Church done to address the struggles? Sunday sermons and coffee-after-service are not enough. Neither Bible studies nor healing rallies.
@@EzraJalin my brother or sister. I would first ask if you have read the bible, why? Because Gods word has all the solutions to our depression and anxiety or whatever the enemy tells us. Jesus is enough to heal any kind of sickness. Just imagine in the new testament the many people Jesus heald, they didn't doubt for a second that God had the full power to have the cripple walk, the blind see. Now think about the old testament, look at Daniels story, at his time, the king made a rule that said whoever prayed to any gods was going to be thrown to the "hungry lions" imagine that, Daniel knew that if he continue to pray to our God he was going to end with the lion, in which he did go in, but Daniel completely believe in "God's power" he didn't doubt that God was going to deliver him, in which God did. That being said, know that I am not shaming pastor jarrid, it hurts me to see this. God bless you.
@@gabrielamelendez2013 it's about self-care and the journey to recovery. Yes, I agree the Word has solutions to everything but it requires a heck lot of discernment, a space and a time, of which, by reality, if you live in a busy city (think of NYC, Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur) and live an extremely busy life, a 10-minute quiet time with God doesn't seem to apply well for the next 23 hours and 50 minutes to really dive deeper. No wounds are treated instantly, even with medication. It takes a lot more than just the pills or the appointment to hospitals. I'm talking on the reality and the root cause is much deeper than just not reading enough of the Word. Which is why I'm glad the traditional churches would have the initiatives to expound the scripture beyond the ecclesiastical mechanism, which allows modern Christians to explore more of their faith and to reflect upon their journey with God. The Catholics, for instance, created platforms such as the Examen and spirituality sessions to discover more into the Word. The Anglicans have a Common Book of Prayer and some Anglican churches have prayer labyrinths in the sanctuary. Why? Because they uphold the sanctity of life in the manner of Christ who walked the earth. Jesus, the Word, did not stay in Heaven but He came down to meet even the lowest of the low. The Word is for all but if the Word seems absent even when reading it, it's because we miss the fact that the Word is still walking amongst us. This is where practices of spirituality matters. This is where the reflection of consciousness matters. Reading the Word alone can be done even by any stubborn atheists and agnostics like Michael Shermer, Peter Atkins, Bart Ehrman, Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins. Even the late Christopher Hitchens read the Bible and able to expound it better than many ordinary devout Christians, yet he was an anti-theist. It's about the meditation of the Word and diving deeper into the journey and to understand that the Presence is everywhere. It's about finding God in all things and not just when the Bible is present in front of us. It's about speaking hope into each other to destroy the voices of suicide within those with the bouts. It's about having the love and empathy to care and to cherish people irregardless. These make Christians distinctive.
That's exactly why each and everyone needs Jesus to redeem us. If he didnt believe and put his faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ then yes he would be in hell right now. But he was a true believer of the gospel and in heaven. Jesus has the power to save ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THE GOSPEL. That Jesus died for your sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, rose again on the 3rd day to the Scriptures, and was seen by many witnesses. Believe that gospel and have faith in Jesus that he will save your from your sins and you will have eternal life.
Do you, practice what you preach... Ya ya, your not a preacher. But do you practice what you preach to your kids, family, friends. How about to your self? Do you practice what you preach in your little world? I leave that between you and God. Pray for your fallen brother, stop throwing stones. May the love of Jesus Christ be with you from here on out...

Jesus didn't come for saints but sinners. The churches are full of sinners. Your sin can be hypocrisy, another man sin could be something else. Among all churches you will find people who are lukewarm, those in a process of being saved and those of backsliding and losing their salvation. How is your faith growing now that you are on your own?

God doesn't give us more than we could bear...this man was fooled by the enemy and did not get the deliverance he needed from depression.
@@Pkid29 well said
His suicide opens many doors of asking why ...i have always said that there is a huge price to pay when you go into ministry because of the huge accountability to the people you preach in front of ...someone dropped the ball in his church with him...they should of seen the struggles he had and asked him to step down until he was better but instead he was aloud to keep going and now he has damaged many christians by his deed ......
Did you mean damaged??
Yes.
He wrote a blog post talking about Suicide and how it doesn't always lead to hell.
All those Christians are suppose to have a personal relationship with Christ and read their own Bible. The pastor isn't to be worshipped, he is a vessel that God uses to deliver a message.

Can someone explain how he failed to connect with the Holy Spirit in such a way so as to be Liberated from suicidal thoughts?!
Go back and look at when he was on with BOBBY SHULER in Jan 2018, he answers that himself. Condolences to his family
worry about your own failures, you didn't know what he lived with, you don't know how he felt
You are incredibly ignorant to psychology which is separate from our true nature
Sit down in the corner with your dunce cap
Jesus gave us his holy spirit. Remember if you have the fruits of the spirit of God
Do you think you will commit suicide?
Jesus himself is the king of peace
He gives us peace and our peace is in him
Self control is one gift of the holy spirit.
Do you think when you cut yourself and blast yourself with a gun , is that having self control or does that manifest an inner peace of state of mind?
You can answer that biblically and refer to that verses.
Without self control you can do everything to your self.
In Heaven now no more pain or sorrow.
No mess is too messy for God,amen
Depression Is a mental health condition, it's a disease that need to address. I've been there and I can say it's not easy to overcome. It's a hopeless situations and feelings that you can't do by your own. We need medical assistance if we experience such condition. Psychiatrist and Psychologist are the people that can truly understand what is happening inside our brains. It's a long time process of healing. Everyone is vulnerable in experiencing such condition. I really thank God how I totally recover form that kind of experience. With the help of some doctors by giving medicines, I was able to recover and improve my condition and of course the GREATEST HEALER is JESUS! Don't judge people who are in that kind of condition, they need understanding, accpetance, respect and more importantly love and prayers. It's not only psychological or mental battle but also spiritual battle! God bless eveyone!
Let's pray for leaders 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤😢🙏🏻🙏🏻
God have mercy on us all
Amen.🙏
If he couldn't overcome his depression, how am I supposed to overcome mine?
Right
@@dizzydisciple he conquered 💀 death, hell, and the grave.
Of course, you can do it! You are NOT him. Believing in Jesus is our own personal choice.
Isn't it true that God is the God of the living? How can one kill himself while wanting to be a living child of God? It is not right to judge, but it is right to turn away from suicidal thoughts. And this is a good opportunity to talk about this. If one falls it is better for the other 99 to turn away from that cliff. Run away from that cliff! Better to ask God to take you back to Him and be willing to follow Jesus till the time arrives and God answers your request. I also had suicidal thoughts, but I asked Jesus' help, fasted for three days while I was insisting Jesus to help me with my porn addiction. Shortly after I found myself free, everything was gone. No addiction, no suicidal thoughts anymore. Maybe this short testimony helps others see life from a different angle. It is worth it to run to Jesus. It is worth it to cry out to God to help you. Let Him the decision to keep you in His harvest or not, and not be yours to leave.
No one can know your pain, but we can know you are forgiven and with Jesus now
Mc 13:13 “You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.”
God tells us that we will have pain, suffering, persecutions for His name and that The devil is always there to confuse you and to lie, to Steal and distroy. I’m really sorry and sad FoR what pastor Jarrid did, with this things a lot of chiristian and unbelivers are confused Now. God knows his pain, indeed. I’m sad that he didnt knew how to let the Holy Spirit of God to help him to pass Over The depresion stage... Its very sad 😪
@@Alexa4ev3r to some people, depression can't be cured, neither healed. Like King David, psychologically, he was depressed for his whole life. He died in despair and he wrote Psalms with the notion of poverty. In this case, it becomes a limp. Everyone walks their life with a limp, and limps exist for us to make use of the God-given strength in us. As what Paul heard from the Lord, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made PERFECT IN YOUR WEAKNESSES".
In my opinion, Jarrid's death show us the strength that God had given to him in his struggles. Take a look now, people are talking about the stigma of mental health and how important it is for us, Christians, to take it seriously and not just something to be carried in a Pentecostal healing rally or just a one-time advice to move on. Recovery takes process and recovery is a step to healing.
Ezra Jalin, I agree with your opinion. But let’s think about the apostles, did they had some ‘special’ treatment for this mental health that we are all confronting? Only the SCRIPTURES. From there is the POWER. But I repeat, I understand your opinion and I agree with it. We should have a serious action in this directions, like doing all we can to support constantly the Christians who haves depression and other problems. I had a hard time last year and this year, I can tell you I had a lot of support from family and close friends, but the only one who was there for me when no one could was Jesus. And he delivered me from depression, anxiety and a lot of fear... the devil wanted to destroy my mental health and I was feeling like nothing and was thinking sometimes: why I need to live? I don’t see any hope for me... that’s why I RUN to Him and he really was my STONE and REFUGE! I don’t judge pastor for what he did... I just want all to know that Jesus NEVER LEAVES US!
@@Alexa4ev3r I disagree with the part you mentioned about the Apostles having special treatment. Historical accounts prove that the apostles weren't alone in their journey. No, I'm not just talking about God's faithfulness but I'm talking about the community that they had. The Greek words "koinonia (fellowship)" and "ekklesia (assembly/Church) speak volume to their journey. For instance, Paul had Silas and Timothy. Peter would have his own commune. Likewise, John of Patmos. Else, they wouldn't write letters. For more, you can read accounts from Jerome and Tertullian about the Apostles and the Church Fathers. The truth is, it's very subjective to say that the Scripture gives healing. It doesn't apply to every Christians. In fact, Scriptures are to be read under guidance. Even atheists know that. Jarrid understood hope, and he was hopeful until his last breath. He knew the Scripture, he was devoted and yet, depression took a toll on him. Like I said, King David experienced God and was after God's heart the whole time and yet lived a life of depression. On the other hand, I'm glad that you're healed through the meditation of the Scripture but let me emphasize this: It's very subjective. Just because it applies to you doesn't mean it applies to everyone. Else, famous preachers and theologians would've been bettering emotionally and mentally. Unfortunately, they weren't and that is okay. Truth be told, we seek perfection in these people but we forgot that humanity can't be redeem without brokenness. We are all limping in our walk no matter how far God has redeem us. The Good News is, the work of resurrection is still ongoing.
@@Alexa4ev3r community shows the love of Jesus. That is why we do church. No Christian is an island.
There was only 1 perfect man in this world...and everyone hung him to a cross and crucified him....so everyone else stand in line...it's not about our righteousness, if it was, we'd all be in hell....that's the beauty of salvation....it's not about us...it's about HIM, Christ and Him crucified....undeserving grace....heartbreaking to hear about this....but just know, there's always hope....#InJesusname
This is true, but we can't take this as an excuse to take our own life. Thats a lie of the enemy!. Have a Great Day!!
@iloveChrist...i agree, no one should take their life...its not ours to take...but we gotta start lifting one another up instead of casting stones when our fellow brethren are entangled in something...theres no condemnation for those in Christ...only conviction that can come from the Holy Spirit...its a daily battle.

We can pray for his family yes but we can't do anything about this person. There is hope for us who is still alive, but there is no hope for the ones who are never trusted Jesus and that includes the ones who takes their own life. I'm sorry but we have to stick with the TRUTH even if you don't want to hear it.. People needs to know that is not easy following Christ. And they also need to know know that taking their own life are going to heaven, which is not true. Bible is very clear, Let God do his will not ours!!
Like I say is not easy following CHRIST, Is either you get attacked from your family or other people who follows a religion and not a relationship with JESUS CHRIST! WE HAVE TO STAY WITH THE TRUTH!! This is not an argument is "A" Truth!

He who is without fault cast the first stone. Its sad reading what people are writing about this pastor. He will be held at a higher standard but we as Christians should practice what Jesus preached and show compassion because thats what our father gives us every day we wake up.
PEOPLE stop condemning Jarrid. Condemnation is 100% of Satan and by displaying your condemnation you are showing whom you are aligned with. Stop it...STOP IT! You are grieving God!
Amen!! Depression is an ILLNESS. And his was severe. Unless you've experienced it, you have no idea. This precious man was incredibly brave to use his illness as a platform to reach out to others who struggle too. We have NO IDEA what happened that day, what the trigger was, whether it was impulsive or planned. What we know is that he loved the Lord and is safe with Him. Doesn't make it right. Doesn't mean his family isn't experiencing unspeakable suffering. But every man born from Adam has a sinful nature and is vulnerable. It is only by God's GRACE that we enter heaven. Jesus said, "Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone." And I see a lot of stones being thrown here, in total ignorance and judgement.
@@Beth31597 thank you
Why are you condemning me? Are you of Satan?
someone can read the Bible, know God but don't know the power of God, don't believe in God, don't live in the Presence of God. talk about God, but the heart doesn't believe. The Lord Jesus always cares about us, why does a pastor say the Lord Jesus cannot always save us from depression?
helloooo everybody, the Lord Jesus was even able to turn water into wine, heal blind people and even rise from the dead.
What things can God not solve for us if we trust Him? are u in a dark place? The Lord Jesus can set u free, but the question is do u want it or not? are you ready or not? Do you trust Jesus or not? after that then be according to ur faith. It is not Jesus who cannot save us, but we who leave Jesus' presence. Lord Jesus is very good and shining, believe He is only as far as prayer. I hope we all always in the Presence of God so that we will be safe. God bless....
There is such a thing as 'strongholds'. Satan attacks by whispering things, planting seeds, chipping away at faith, causing confusion. Evil is real and it is extremely dark and vile. Some of our brothers and sisters in Christ are suffering. They are targets. The enemy knows their weaknesses. He is wicked in his scheming. He wont stop until he wipes us out. I've experienced it myself. It's not because Jarrid didn't believe or didn't have enough faith. He might have been under the delusion that the darkness would never go away. For some people it doesn't go away. The deliverance takes time. Things are not black and white. Jesus can heal but he needs us to walk it out with him. We have to have compassion on those ones that are too weak to go on. You don't know how satan has exhausted their minds.
Another reason why we need to stop following self proclaimed "pastors" and follow the Lord Jesus instead. Pastoring is not an occupation, it should just be a natural result of Christians maturing and helping others to mature.
These comments are heartbreaking to read. How cold and callous Christians seem to be when it comes to depression and suicide. Is that what God has called the church to do? to judge people with different struggles than their own? How could you possibly be so bold as to assume you know the depths of pain others with depression are forced to endure?
Your ignorant comments are not only disrespectful to Jarrid and his family, but they completely destroy your witness for people who also struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts. If someone is struggling with similar issues, why would they try to find refuge in a God or church who only judges rather than shows love and grace and understanding? Your ignorant comments are painful and cause way more harm than any good you think will come from it.
If you are struggling with depression and suicide, please know that the ignorant comments of some Christians are not a reflection of Jesus, who, more than anyone else ever could, understands your pain and struggles and welcomes you with open arms always. You are not selfish or a bad person for struggling in the way that you do. And you aren't less faithful or less of a Christian for it either. God promises that He will restore us all in heaven, not necessarily on this earth. Healing will come. I find peace in knowing healing has come to Jarrid who can rest in Jesus' peace and love forever now.
You broke my heart , jarrid wilson
Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to lead, be an author, or a pastor. A good lesson for every Christian:

Only the suicide of Samson makes some controversy.
Samson was before Jesus so that makes things different, sort of.
However do you really want to be compared to the suicides of the bible like Judas, Saul or Jezebel??
I honestly do not know either but I do know that most of us are in continual sin and that is what needs to be corrected.
Jesus would forgive everyone he came into contact with but he commanded that they go and sin no more.
It is clear that you are either a good tree bearing good fruit or a bad tree bearing bad or no fruit and it is clear Jesus didn't like the bad trees.
He cursed one of them and it withered away immediately according to the story.
I believe that I am currently a Bad Tree and need serious surgery from God/Jesus to get rid of the corruption/corrosion.

Abd Aziz Abd Hamid You just described holy book medicine. Being in nature is medicine in many ancient religions. And it’s backed by science. They are one in the same. He was probably trying to reason his way through his depression, when in fact it is an illness that needs to stop getting fed by stress. No drugs for depression actually help depression. Only by feeding the heart what it needs can we heal it. God designed our hearts. A great book on this I read is Wild At Heart by John Eldridge
Brothers and sister in Christ please read the word of God. The bible clearly talks about all the struggles we will have on earth and taking your own life is not one of them.
The question is, what has the Church done to address the struggles? Sunday sermons and coffee-after-service are not enough. Neither Bible studies nor healing rallies.
@@EzraJalin my brother or sister. I would first ask if you have read the bible, why? Because Gods word has all the solutions to our depression and anxiety or whatever the enemy tells us. Jesus is enough to heal any kind of sickness. Just imagine in the new testament the many people Jesus heald, they didn't doubt for a second that God had the full power to have the cripple walk, the blind see. Now think about the old testament, look at Daniels story, at his time, the king made a rule that said whoever prayed to any gods was going to be thrown to the "hungry lions" imagine that, Daniel knew that if he continue to pray to our God he was going to end with the lion, in which he did go in, but Daniel completely believe in "God's power" he didn't doubt that God was going to deliver him, in which God did. That being said, know that I am not shaming pastor jarrid, it hurts me to see this. God bless you.
@@gabrielamelendez2013 it's about self-care and the journey to recovery. Yes, I agree the Word has solutions to everything but it requires a heck lot of discernment, a space and a time, of which, by reality, if you live in a busy city (think of NYC, Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur) and live an extremely busy life, a 10-minute quiet time with God doesn't seem to apply well for the next 23 hours and 50 minutes to really dive deeper. No wounds are treated instantly, even with medication. It takes a lot more than just the pills or the appointment to hospitals. I'm talking on the reality and the root cause is much deeper than just not reading enough of the Word. Which is why I'm glad the traditional churches would have the initiatives to expound the scripture beyond the ecclesiastical mechanism, which allows modern Christians to explore more of their faith and to reflect upon their journey with God. The Catholics, for instance, created platforms such as the Examen and spirituality sessions to discover more into the Word. The Anglicans have a Common Book of Prayer and some Anglican churches have prayer labyrinths in the sanctuary. Why? Because they uphold the sanctity of life in the manner of Christ who walked the earth. Jesus, the Word, did not stay in Heaven but He came down to meet even the lowest of the low. The Word is for all but if the Word seems absent even when reading it, it's because we miss the fact that the Word is still walking amongst us. This is where practices of spirituality matters. This is where the reflection of consciousness matters. Reading the Word alone can be done even by any stubborn atheists and agnostics like Michael Shermer, Peter Atkins, Bart Ehrman, Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins. Even the late Christopher Hitchens read the Bible and able to expound it better than many ordinary devout Christians, yet he was an anti-theist. It's about the meditation of the Word and diving deeper into the journey and to understand that the Presence is everywhere. It's about finding God in all things and not just when the Bible is present in front of us. It's about speaking hope into each other to destroy the voices of suicide within those with the bouts. It's about having the love and empathy to care and to cherish people irregardless. These make Christians distinctive.
"No mess is too messy," coming from the suicide case. What a joke! He deceived himself to death.
PASTOR MAN OF GOD KNOWS SUICIDE IS A SIN BUT DOES OT ANYWAY OK😡

That's exactly why each and everyone needs Jesus to redeem us. If he didnt believe and put his faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ then yes he would be in hell right now. But he was a true believer of the gospel and in heaven. Jesus has the power to save ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THE GOSPEL. That Jesus died for your sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, rose again on the 3rd day to the Scriptures, and was seen by many witnesses. Believe that gospel and have faith in Jesus that he will save your from your sins and you will have eternal life.
