On August 1, 2007, Pastor John Mark Caton of Cottonwood Creek Church in Allen, Texas, got a phone call from his brother.  It was his last call.  His brother took his life the next day.  Dr. Caton joins Frank to discuss this very difficult topic.  They address these among other questions:

* What can we do to prevent suicide?

* How should parents talk to their kids about it? (Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among young people.)

* Why is isolation such a problem?

* How does social media contribute to the problem?

* What does the Bible say about suicide?

* Can a person who commits suicide go to Heaven?

* How can we minister to those who are left behind?
