Stop. Look. Listen.

“Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him up.”

- Jesse Jackson

 

In this poignant episode of the In the Red Podcast, host Anthony Hart addresses the critical importance of valuing human life and being present for others, particularly during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Drawing from personal experiences, Anthony reflects on moments that taught him the significance of prioritizing people over tasks and material possessions.

 

As he emphasizes the need to stop, look, and listen to those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts, Anthony shines a light on two vulnerable groups: veterans grappling with trauma from their service and youth affected by isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. He courageously challenges the church to transform into a safe space for the hurting, advocating for understanding and empathy rather than judgment.

 

Throughout the episode, you'll hear heartfelt stories of veterans who have experienced profound loss and the alarming rise in youth suicide rates linked to the pandemic’s impact. Anthony urges listeners to engage in compassionate conversations, build trust, and understand the root causes of pain instead of merely judging outward symptoms.

 

Join Anthony in this inspiring call to action as he encourages everyone to notice the unnoticed, listen to the unheard, and truly see those who feel invisible. This episode is a powerful reminder of the value of every life and the importance of creating a culture of empathy and presence.
