One of the things we deal with in my men's ministry is this issue of suicide, specifically suicide in the Christian male population.

We have had a few suicides recently in our local church specifically and in our local area generally.

I started a men's ministry partly as a result of all the shattered hopes and dreams and also to help where I could in this area of desperation that Christian men feel all of this country.

Our men's ministry is called Positive Masculinity Crusade and we train guys in all areas of their Christian walk.

One of the areas that kept coming up was this area of suicide. What I found was that in our area most of the feelings of despair were related to 2 issues: sex and shame.

Sometimes the shame is related to sex and sometimes it's not.

I work with the guys on how to deal with suicide calls and what to do when they receive these calls.
