    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>Over the last two years the suicide rate has increased significantly which also means many friends and loved ones suffered broken hearts and are left with many unanswered questions. Young people to older adults have lost hope and made the decision to give up on life. Why? This is probably the biggest question that never gets answered? Feelings of abandonment to anger overtakes the ones left behind as they try to put the pieces of the past together to try and figure out why their friend or loved one took their own life. Anxiety and depression are things that people do not understand and for many they think that the person ought to just get over whatever it is that is bothering them and get on with their life. It's not that easy and for this episode of the GRINDIT Podcast I talk about my personal experience with suicide and some scriptures that help me deal with it on a daily basis. If you are experiencing anxiety and depression and you feel as though you are going to harm yourself, please seek help.
