Equipping the Saints

Getting ordinary believers ready for the person God puts in front of them.

Monumental Grace started with guard duty: standing a post at the places people go when they’ve decided to end it, like the cliffs of the Colorado National Monument. Everybody loved the idea. Almost nobody signed up, because “I’m not trained for that.” So the post moved.

Your post is the person next to you.

The guy at church who went quiet. The coworker who stopped joking. The kid who says he’s fine. Most people who are struggling never go near a cliff. If you’re a believer, you’re already standing a post. These pages get you ready for it. Start with any of them below.

If you see something

If you’re worried about somebody, don’t wait for proof. Do this:

  1. Ask directly. “Are you thinking about killing yourself?” Asking does not put the idea in their head.
  2. Stay with them. Do not leave them alone. Listen more than you talk.
  3. Keep them safe. If you can do it safely, put distance between them and anything they could use to hurt themselves.
  4. Call together. Call or text 988 with them. If they are in danger, call 911.
  5. Follow up. Check in tomorrow, and the day after.
