In this episode of The Bipolar Bro, I open up about one of the darkest seasons of my life—the suicide attempt that nearly killed me—and why I believe the Church can’t afford to stay silent about brain disease. Too often, Christians facing bipolar disorder, depression, or suicidal thoughts are told to “just pray more.” But prayer alone isn’t the whole answer.

I’ll walk through what suicidal people actually believe in those moments, why biology and brain chemistry matter as much as trauma and faith, and how Scripture shows us that lament is not weakness but worship. We’ll look at what the Church needs to do better, what to say (and not say) to someone in crisis, and why Jesus’ death was never meant to justify our own.

If you’ve ever felt like a burden—or if you want to better understand someone you love who lives with brain disease—this episode is for you.
