Why Did They Choose To End It All?


Listen Later

Another life cut short—a heartbreaking loss of a 24-year-old man who felt he could no longer live on in this world. When news broke out about Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland, fans were stunned. A young athlete living his dream. Yet behind the helmet, there was pain his supporters never saw. His passing shines a light on something far deeper than football: the unseen struggles many face when identity becomes tied to performance, reputation, and public expectation. And Marshawn's story isn't isolated. We've seen this pattern before, from NFL greats like Junior Seau to athletes in other arenas such as professional wrestler Chris Benoit and former pitcher Donnie Moore. These were men under immense pressure, carrying emotional battles that success couldn't solve. For some, that pressure became too heavy, leading to tragedy. In Benoit's case, it escalated into a horrific breaking point that claimed multiple lives, including his own. For others like Moore, the crushing weight of failure became too much to bear. Yet not every story ends in despair. Some who've reached that same dark valley have since found redemption—men who turned back, choosing life, hope, and faith in Jesus Christ. Their testimonies remind us that no success can fill the void that only God can fill.
