Thinking Biblically About Suicide — Jon Noyes Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

Whether it's something you wrestle with personally or it's a friend who's struggling, suicide has affected all of us and is at the center of the cultural conversation. How do we engage with the culture and rising generation about suicide in a wise and productive way? How can we speak encouragement and truth to individuals who are questioning the worth of their very existence?

Jon Noyes used to be an atheist who thought belief in God was unwarranted and irresponsible. Then, after examining the evidence for Christianity, he was faced with the fact that Jesus is who he says he is, and the Christian worldview tells the true story of reality. Jon has since been passionate about engaging the culture with honest reasons about Christianity, working on staff with Stand to Reason. He has more than ten years of experience in the legal field and earned a master's degree in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. Jon is a founding pastor at Soli Deo Gloria Church and serves on the board for Life Without Limbs and Bible Thinker. Jon is the father of four daughters and the husband of Rheanna, who all live in Ventura County, CA.
