My friend Scott Braithwaite discusses stages of faith (Fowler model) and suicide (Joyner model).   Scott presented both at BYU Education Week.    Great podcast to help minister for those in a faith crisis/transition to help those who are suicidal.  Also a great podcast if you are in a faith crisis or are suicidal.   I wish I had known some of the things Scott shares before my YSA service. Scott has a unique perspective/voice on both topics from his clinical training (PhD is Clinical Psychology), pastoral ministry (recently served as a Bishop) and clinical practice.  You can read more at:  https://fhssfaculty.byu.edu/FacultyPage/srb37 Thank you for being on the podcast Scott and your service to help so many work through complicated topics and bring people to Christ.
