Ep16: Don't Say Suicide (2/1988)

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion about suicide & self-harm. Listener discretion is advised. On today’s episode of This Fire, Steve and Alec tackle Fire By Nite’s first ever VERY SPECIAL episode - ‘Don’t Say Suicide’. Join us as we explore the evangelical community’s surprisingly thoughtful take on just what caused the suicide epidemic of the 1980s…..just kidding. They blame it all on rock music and secular movies. But at least we get to enjoy the dulcet tones of musical guest Rick Cua (finally!). As you can imagine, this is a heavy one. If you or anyone you care about is struggling with suicidal ideation, you can dial 988 to reach the National Suicide Lifeline for free crisis resources.

Join hosts Steve and Alec as they discuss dated sketch comedy, demonic influence on our nation's youth, and of course the ever looming threat of communism.
