We want to introduce you to those who forgot everything except Jesus Christ and him crucified. We all struggle with fear of being last, lost, least, littlest, and dead, and so we are here to encourage, challenge, provoke, and maybe even offend you by introducing you to theologians who at one time or another were banned by their church, declared dangerous, or simply vilified for daring to confess that Christ alone is the way, truth, and life. Welcome rebel children, holy mischief makers, and fools for Christ. This podcast is for you.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-20T22:17:27.547797+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383"},"episode":{"title":"450: Table Talk on Suicide","slug":"450-table-talk-on-suicide","published_at":"2026-08-21T00:41:44+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383/450-table-talk-on-suicide","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383","url":"https://www.1517.org/podcast-overview/450-tabletalk","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bannedbooks/BB_450.mp3?dest-id=697691","summary":"Suicide Solution . In this episode, we sit with Martin Luther and C.S. Lewis to discuss the topic of self-murder (\"suicide\"). We talk about focusing on higher truth, how individualism leads to harmful consequences, and how Christians and churches may discuss this with others. This episode discusses suicide directly. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, US) — and reach out to a pastor, a friend, or family, not just a stranger on the internet. SHOW NOTES : C.S.
