Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren is starting a new mental health ministry following the suicide of his son Matthew, who at age 27 shot himself in April after years of struggling with severe depression.
Christian leaders, including megachurch pastor Rick Warren, plan to rent every screen in numerous multiplex theaters across 10 cities for the premiere of Mark Burnett and Roma Downey’s upcoming Jesus film, “Son of God,” on Feb. 27.
In an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, megachurch pastor Rick Warren explained his position on homosexuality, tolerance and the redefinition of marriage.
I was recently reminded that the strongest witness to our faith in Christ isn't success or happiness. It’s hope—especially in the most painful situations.
Following the April suicide of their son, Rick and Kay Warren have a new purpose for Saddleback Church: removing the stigma of mental illness from churches.
First, those who make Christ their Lord never die. Second, those who make Christ their Lord never "lose" fellow believers. Third, God walks with us through "the valley of the shadow of death."
Pastor Rick Warren has shared some of his thoughts via Twitter during the past week as he and his wife Kay grieve the loss of their youngest son, tweeting Thursday (April 11) that he has forgiven the person who sold Matthew the gun used in his suicide.
Well-known pastor Rick Warren's personal tragedy of losing his son Matthew as the result of suicide last Friday has not only garnered sympathy and condolences from around the world, but also online vitriol from his detractors.
