If a Christian Commits Suicide, Do They Go to Heaven?

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.

If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or self-harm, please reach out to someone you trust right now. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You are loved, your life matters, and there is hope.

In this episode of Call Him Father, Micah and Pastor Taylor talk through one of the heaviest questions Christians ask: if a Christian commits suicide, do they go to heaven?

They discuss whether suicide is the unforgivable sin, what the Bible says about blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, how Christians should think about salvation, and why someone’s final moment does not erase the finished work of Christ if they truly belong to Him.

Micah also shares part of his own story of walking through suicidal thoughts, self-harm, depression, and the importance of inviting trusted people into the pain instead of staying isolated.

The conversation also covers spiritual warfare, demonic oppression, mental health, habitual sexual sin, true repentance, assurance of salvation, Catholicism, Protestantism, communion, and what it means to take the Lord’s Supper seriously.
