Living Waters Speaks To Students About Depression In New Film

Depression and suicide are amongst some of the common topics rarely discussed within the church, even though it is a topic that has affected nearly almost everyone at some point in their life.  Hip hop artist Lecrae has even opened up about his recent struggle with depression.

Reach Records artist, Andy Mineo, also recently detailed how he and Lecrae prevented someone from jumping from a bridge in New York this month.  Many famous actors, artists, etc have gone so far as to have committed suicide as a result of depression.   Some of those artists include household names such as Robin Williams, Lee Thompson Young, Chester Bennington, Aaron Hernandez, and sadly, the list goes on and on, leaving many people to wonder, why or how someone could take their own life?

“Living Waters” creators of the movies “Fireproof,” “Evolution vs. God” and other films, tackle this difficult subject and offer hope to those who feel that they have no way out.  This film follows evangelist and minister Ray Comfort as he talks to several students on college campuses and on the street about their experience with depression and suicide.

In this film, the filmmakers offer hope that is found through Jesus Christ.  The film is produced by Ray Comfort and Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne.  Check out the short film below.

 

WATCH THE FULL SHORT FILM BELOW:

 

 
Along with the trailer for the film, Living Waters has also released information to help people combat suicidal thoughts and provided contact information for a Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
 
Comfort and his team have also encouraged people to confide in those closest to them by allowing their loved ones to share their burdens.
 
Below is a list of four things the ministry encourages people to remember:

1. YOU HAVE WORTH. You are not a cosmic accident; you are not here by chance. The Bible says God formed you in your mother’s womb. You are special, unique, and handcrafted by the Creator; and because of that your life has meaning. No matter where you’ve been, what’s happened, or what you’ve done, nothing can ever erase the incredible value God has placed on you as His creation.

2. YOU ARE LOVED. The Bible says, “God is love.” He not only knows your turmoil and pain, He cares deeply and promises that if you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you. You can be adopted into His family as His beloved child.

3. THERE IS HOPE. The Bible tells us that by trusting in Jesus we have a “living hope,” a hope that is an anchor for the soul. If you don’t know God personally, you can, through genuine repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Your sins will be washed away. His Spirit will come to live within you and will never leave you, and you’ll be given a new heart with new desires. The meaning and purpose of your life is to truly love God and walk with Him. You can find healing, forgiveness, and hope in Christ.

4. HELP IS AVAILABLE. Like a mold of the soul, severe depression grows in the cold dampness of isolation. Please, open up and reach out for support.

 

The film is now available as a pre-release download but will soon be available for free on YouTube, just as Comfort’s previous movies have been.  Those who download “EXIT” prior to its release will also receive two books on how to battle depression.

Boston, MA—Toast (NYSE: TOST) and acclaimed food critic, Keith Lee, are joining forces to celebrate extraordinary restaurants and the little details that make them special. Beginning today, Toast and Lee will surprise the first of three restaurants with $50,000 each over the next few weeks.

Based on three categories, Commitment to Hospitality, Community Connection, Employee Care and Engagement, Keith has selected the first two restaurants. Toast and Keith Lee will also select a third restaurant based on submissions entered on social media, awarding a final $50,000 cash prize to one restaurant — and $25,000 to the individual that nominates them. 

“As guests, we often see only what arrives on the plate, while restaurants orchestrate a complex symphony of details — from ingredients to atmosphere to staff choreography, and more – to make for amazing dining experiences,” said Kelly Esten, Chief Marketing Officer at Toast. “Like Toast, Keith Lee recognizes that it’s those little things that often set restaurants apart, not big marketing budgets or big name chefs. We’re delighted to work with him — and invite our community on social media to do so as well — to recognize some truly special businesses.”

“Getting a 10 out of 10 in my book is about more than the taste of the food alone — it’s also about the energy when walking in the door, the way food might be packaged, or how the server made me feel when I ordered,” said Lee. “I’ve made a career highlighting the way these details come together to make for great meals, and I’m thrilled to work with Toast to celebrate just a few of the people in our big, broad restaurant community who make it happen.”
