149. Hope Always -- Dr. Matthew Sleeth

<p>Have you ever had to have a tough conversation with a loved one? Maybe it was about their physical health? Perhaps it was about their emotional or mental health. </p> <p>Sometimes these conversations can be really difficult, so I am so thankful that Dr. Matthew Sleeth is back on the podcast, and he is going to talk about his book, *<a href= "https://amzn.to/3L9LGBo">Hope Always: How to be a force for life in a culture of suicide</a>. September is Suicide Prevention Month and each year on the podcast, I try to highlight one episode where I give ideas or tools or share about this subject that is just not talked a lot about, especially in the church. </p> <p>So today, I am excited for you to hear from Matthew and just the practical tools he gives us on how to have these tough conversations, how to enter into the conversation as well as how to help them.  He is a medical doctor and worked in the emergency room for many years, so he brings a unique perspective. So again, I know this subject is hard to talk about, but I want to give voice to this because lives matter, and I want us to be a help to those that are struggling.</p> <p>Also, I am so excited for someone to win a copy of Dr. Sleeth's book: *<a href="https://amzn.to/3TUqUJM">Hope Always</a>.
