        On this week’s episode:

        • We’re back in the four confessions (Abstract of Principles, New Hampshire, 1689 LBCF, and the Westminster) to discuss what it means for Christ to be our Mediator.

        • 82. Can a Christian Commit Suicide? (Kevin Nattinger)

          On this week’s episode, we discuss the heavy topic of suicide.

          In light of recent events, this topic has been on many evangelicals’ minds, and we simply wanted to walk through a helpful article by TGC.

          If you’re wrestling with the thought of suicide, please talk to:

          • Your pastor.
          • A close friend.
          • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline @ 1-800-273-TALK (8255)
