You know how when you have a good idea, you get a little lightbulb over your head? What if you had a bad idea, and a million cubic feet of rock collapsed on you.On today's episode: why the tourist bureau for today's story drink so much; how the people in today's episode work with equipment that would rattle an melt your skull off and sometimes want to cry and eat each other; and why the phrase “well, I'm glad that's all over” is rarely misapplied this badly.And because you are listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 10 minutes where we discuss: the hodge podge of brutalized bones and missing appendages that have sailed over the Falls; you'd hear about the increasingly ill-conceived and sketchy reasons people have tried their luck over the Falls on purpose; you would hear the tales of two waterways widely described as “inhospitable to human survival; and you would learn about the only unintentional subaquatic river trolley in the world.Niagara Falls has always been a magnet for honeymooners, daredevils, stunt performers and industrialists, but there is no place more ready to delete you from your travel itinerary in so many permanent and awful ways. It's also been a magnet for nature-inspired calamity. This is our second episode from this exotic location, and I could do an entire episode on just the daredevils alone. I really wanted to record this episode at Niagara Falls, but I also wanted to get it out in the first half of 2025, so no dice. That said, you can't do an episode about Niagara Falls without talking about the numbers of people who “take that vertical swim” on purpose.If you or someone you know sounds like they'd like to visit the Falls so-to-speak, please don't hesitate to reach out.

To celebrate 100 episodes worth of deep thoughts, Matt is joined by original producer of the podcast, Jordan Esau, for a trip down memory lane as they talk about the humble beginnings of the podcast, some favourite episodes and guests, and more.Then Matt tackles some of the deepest listener-submitted questions to close things out.A trip down memory lane (1:00)Where did Old Testament believers go when they died? (20:40)What are your views on the old earth and young earth creationist perspectives? (24:00)Since Samson killed himself and was favoured by God, is suicide a pardonable sin? (36:10)How important and healthy do you think it is for a church's small groups to be intergenerational? (44:05)A big thank you to Jordan Esau for joining Matt for this episode and for his instrumental help in starting the podcast, to Andy Boldt and Landon Johnston for their fantastic work on the episodes since, Heath Robertson for the graphic design, Emily Shantz for the cult following you amassed, and all the fantastic guests over the years who are the reason that the podcast hits such gospel depths. Most of all, thank you to everyone who listens, engages with the podcast, and passes episodes along to others in your life. I truly hope it helps you in fostering deep faith.Disclaimer: This podcast addresses a question about suicidal ideation, which may be distressing for some listeners. The information communicated is about the Bible and pastoral in nature and is not a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you or someone you know is struggling, please seek support from a qualified medical or mental health professional or contact Talk Suicide Canada: 1.833.456.4566

Do you know the difference between your guts and balloon animals? Organs are ever-so slightly more flame resistant! On today's episode:  you'll learn how to squeeze every penny out of a beloved animal corpse; I'll accidentally teach you why fire is the best way to get rid of leaves, or a body; and you'll learn the surprisingly simple thing you should do if you found yourself full-bodied origamied into debris. And if you were listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 8 minutes where we discuss: two warm up disasters that lead to this one; how close medicine cabinets used to be narcotic liquor cabinets; the incredible fallout of trying to kill people on Twinkies; and the story of high fallutin' wild west rodeo “war hero” Buffalo Bill Cody I'm quick to point out to listeners that I don't like doing episodes where children or animals are hurt, and I'm happy to report the only things dying in this episode are 86 fully grown adults! (And a few animals, I'm sorry, it happens). However, at the very end of this episode, I really let it go to hell. First I tell you about an elephant that unplugged itself and created a minor panic that my parents may or may not have named my sister after – immediately followed by a barrage dog, bird, car and plane noises all competing to make it unlistenable, but I did it for a very good reason as you will see. Without getting too deeply into it, I have said pretty much since the beginning of this show that we need to keep as many listeners alive and safe as we can. A lot of times, that just means talking. If you or someone you know is in a bad place and struggling, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Note: This episode contains a discussion of suicide. A list of resources is available below.  In Undoing Suicidism: A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide (Temple UP, 2023), Alexandre Baril argues that suicidal people are oppressed by what he calls structural suicidism, a hidden oppression that, until now, has been unnamed and under-theorized. Each year, suicidism and its preventionist script and strategies reproduce violence and cause additional harm and death among suicidal people through forms of criminalization, incarceration, discrimination, stigmatization, and pathologization. This is particularly true for marginalized groups experiencing multiple oppressions, including queer, trans, disabled, or Mad people. Undoing Suicidism questions the belief that the best way to help suicidal people is through the logic of prevention. Alexandre Baril presents the thought-provoking argument that supporting assisted suicide for suicidal people could better prevent unnecessary deaths. Offering a new queercrip model of (assisted) suicide, he invites us to imagine what could happen if we started thinking about (assisted) suicide from an anti-suicidist and intersectional framework. Baril provides a radical reconceptualization of (assisted) suicide and invaluable reflections for academics, activists, practitioners, and policymakers. An open access edition of Undoing Suicidism, made available by the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa, is available here. Alexandre Baril (abaril@uOttawa.ca) is Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa. His work is situated at the crossroads of gender, queer, trans, disability/crip/Mad studies, critical gerontology and critical suicidology. His commitment to equity has earned him awards for his involvement in queer, trans and disabled communities, including the Canadian Disability Studies Association Tanis Doe Francophone Award, and the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion President's Award at the University of Ottawa. A prolific author who won the Young Researcher Award from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa (2023), he has given over 200 presentations at the international level and has over 80 publications.

Note: This episode contains a discussion of suicide. A list of resources is available below.  In Undoing Suicidism: A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide (Temple UP, 2023), Alexandre Baril argues that suicidal people are oppressed by what he calls structural suicidism, a hidden oppression that, until now, has been unnamed and under-theorized. Each year, suicidism and its preventionist script and strategies reproduce violence and cause additional harm and death among suicidal people through forms of criminalization, incarceration, discrimination, stigmatization, and pathologization. This is particularly true for marginalized groups experiencing multiple oppressions, including queer, trans, disabled, or Mad people. Undoing Suicidism questions the belief that the best way to help suicidal people is through the logic of prevention. Alexandre Baril presents the thought-provoking argument that supporting assisted suicide for suicidal people could better prevent unnecessary deaths. Offering a new queercrip model of (assisted) suicide, he invites us to imagine what could happen if we started thinking about (assisted) suicide from an anti-suicidist and intersectional framework. Baril provides a radical reconceptualization of (assisted) suicide and invaluable reflections for academics, activists, practitioners, and policymakers.

Join us today for an open and honest discussion about suicide prevention. Special guest Glen Bloomstrom introduces us to Living Works ASIST–a suicide prevention training he was first introduced to during his service as US Army Chaplain for 30 years. It's time to tackle the stigma surrounding suicide. What is the church's role in providing care to those suffering from suicidal thoughts? Glen's advice is simple: Stop talking, and learn what to listen for. Don't miss his wisdom and insight as we grow in our ability to provide effective care in the church. QUOTES The church wants to help, but they don't know how. Sadly, it takes an attempt or a death before it gets people's attention. The church and the faith community has so much to offer in a society that's increasingly isolated, lonely, and disconnected. Natural helpers need to be trained. Suicide is part of the human condition. When we're isolated, when we keep it a secret, it gathers power. But if we can talk about it, it removes the power and connects us.

This week – Ontario police charged Kenneth Law, of Mississauga, with 12 counts of counselling or aiding suicide. That's on top of the two counts he was charged with when he was first arrested in May. Law is accused of running several websites that were used to sell sodium nitrite and other items that can be used for self harm. He's alleged to have sent at least 1,200 packages to people in more than 40 countries, and is being investigated by police forces from the UK to New Zealand. Thomas Daigle has been covering this story extensively for CBC News. He's here to explain this complicated case, and what we know about the man at the centre of it.

You asked some seriously deep questions and Matt has tried his best to answer them in this Q&A episode. Do you think Abraham and Isaac had a conversation before he tied him up as an offering? [2:45] What is the stance on marijuana use as Christians? Many conversations about this lately. [7:05] What should we make of the Gift of Tongues in the church today? [10:00] What will the church look like in 10 years? [18:45] How do we know if feelings come from God or if we need freedom from that? [24:45] What does the Bible say about the souls of those who commit suicide? [27:50] (*a factor not interacted with directly in responding to the question is the dynamic that most suicides are related to psychiatric disease, with depression, substance use disorders and psychosis being the most relevant. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal ideations please call Talk Suicide Canada: 1.833.456.4566) What does it look like to respond like Jesus when a transgender person wants to join our life group? [32:00] How can we be truly happy in heaven if we know loved ones are in hell? Seems selfish. [39:00] What are we to make of John 7:53-8:11 and its Canonicity? [43:10] Is what we have today, splinters of faith traditions around the globe, really God's intent? [50:30]

Spring has sprung, so Will & Lucas are a bit more peppy as they take time to pitch the Bud back-door pilot in "Adventures in Budylon" and see more depth for the title character in "Ladonna Compson: Party Animal."

Here are some helplines if you feel triggered by this episode •TALK SUICIDE CANADA #1-833-456-4566 (45645 for text) •SUICIDE & CRISIS LIFELINE in America #988 to connect with a local Suicide prevention helpline •UK SUICIDE PREVENTION PHONE LINE #0800-689-5652. In this episode, we talk about the differences between Passive suicidal ideation and Active suicidal thoughts. We discuss some of the reasons people might choose to commit suicide, as well as how prevalent suicidal thoughts can be for people living with BPD. Many of us living with trauma will experience suicidal ideation - especially during times of heightened emotional distress - but we need to find people we can trust to speak only about what we are experiencing and even set a safety plan in place if we feel like we cannot handle our own inner thoughts. There should never be shame associated with speaking openly so I hope this conversation can help you to feel motivated to seek professional help if that is what you need. I want you to be here with me so feel free to reach out at any point over on my instagram @journey.bound and I can send you some resources or helplines. We are in this life together and I hope you know how important you are

Mental health as a phrase is so broad and far-reaching as to drift into cliché, or elude meaning altogether. The many facets and complexities that “mental health” encompasses each merit their own conversation: the role of diagnosis and medication; our approaches to care; addiction and substance abuse; the apparent increase in struggles among our youth; the impacts of the Covid pandemic; the changing workplace; the effect of technology; the role of economic inequality, systemic racism, homophobia and transphobia, and other forms of discrimination; mass incarceration, and the list goes on. But there is no question that the theme of mental health, the wellbeing of our mind and spirit, our sense of belonging in the world, is an urgent one, which, it seems to me, has been garnering ever-greater degrees of attention in public discourse. I've wanted to figure out how to approach this vast topic and pick out avenues for further reflection and examination. That's why I jumped at the opportunity to speak to my next guest, someone who's been immersed in mental health work for over twenty years, and has approached it from several angles. Benjamin F. Miller is the former president of Well Being Trust and chair of the advisory board of Inseparable, two mental health organizations. Over the last two decades, he has worked to promote and prioritize mental health in policies, programs, and investments in his native United States. Trained in clinical psychology at Spalding University, the University of Colorado and the University of Massachusetts, Ben started his career as a clinician and then spent 8 years as an Associate Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine where he was the founding Director of the Eugene S. Farley, Jr. Health Policy Center. He subsequently joined Well Being Trust, a nonprofit dedicated to mental health, as Chief Strategy Officer and then, until recently, as President.Ben has testified before state and federal government committees in the United States, is active as a keynote speaker, and has been featured in a wide range of major media outlets, including the New York Times, USA Today, CNN and NPR. He is also the author of “Mental,” a substack newsletter on topics related to mental health. I'll confess speaking to Ben left me with more questions than answers, given the enormity of the topic, but our exchange allowed me to focus my thoughts and his insights provided material for further contemplation. I hope it does something similar for you. Just a warning that we do discuss topics of suicide, addiction, and other forms of distress during the episode. If you're in need of help, please reach out to someone you trust or a healthcare provider. If you're a healthcare worker, your employer or professional association may also provide support.  And you can always call Talk Suicide Canada, 988 in the United States, or a suicide prevention or crisis hotline wherever you are. ***Links:Ben's newsletter"The Mystifying Rise of Child Suicide," by Andrew Solomon, The New Yorker"'It's Life or Death': The Mental Health Crisis Among US Teens," by Matt Richtel, The New York Times***Recorded August 1, 2022Music: Mr Smith  Art: Jeff Landman

Content/Trigger Warning: This episode discusses subjects of burnout, self-care, self-harm, suicide, and mental health. I recently connected with Stephanie McMahon, a registered psychotherapist in Ontario, who happens to also be a wildlife rehabilitation centre volunteer, to talk about what burnout is and how it impacts individuals, what clearing space for self-care looks like, and how we can all ask for help when we need it. This week we're talking about self-care and burnout, and that means difficult conversations regarding mental health, self-harm, suicide, and what it looks like to ask for help. If you need immediate help because you're feeling you may harm yourself or others, please contact emergency services in your area. If you're in Canada visit talksuicide.ca or call 1-833-456-4566 to connect with crisis responders. The content of this episode is not and should be not considered therapy or a replacement for speaking to a healthcare professional about mental health.
