What does the Christian faith say about suicide?
Wed Jan 28 2026
Some of us are hurting so much that living each day is a struggle. Others wake up every morning to the anguish of having lost a loved one to suicide. In either case, the question of what happens after death to those who have taken their lives is a deeply personal and painful question. This week on Ask Away, Jo and Vince discuss the hope of the Christian faith for those who are carrying these heavy burdens. They also encourage those of you who are feeling overwhelmed that you don’t have to go through this on your own—professional help is available and can really make a difference, as can the support of your community and your local church. If you’re in the US and you need immediate help, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline ( 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline ). You can also text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line at https://www.crisistextline.org. If you’re in immediate danger, please call 911 (or whichever national emergency number applies to your current location). You are not alone; support is available.
