Who is Julianne Wilson Husband Jarrid Wilson? How did Jarrid Wilson kill himself?

Jarrid Wilson a 30-years-old pastor, author, and a mental health advocate died committing suicide on 9th September 2019 in California. Harvest senior pastor, Greg Laurie informed about Jarrid’s suicide via Facebook. Expressing his grief, Greg wrote about Jarrid’s struggle with depression; "Jarrid repeatedly dealt with depression and was very open about his ongoing struggles. He wanted to especially help those who were dealing with suicidal thoughts. Tragically, Jarrid took his own life."

Wilson, who had openly expressed his battle with mental illness over his twitter and Instagram, committed suicide a day prior to the World Suicide Prevention Day. Before ending his own life, Jarrid was still advocating to prevent suicide; sadly his life couldn’t be saved!

News of Wilson’s passing followed a series of tweets the young pastor posted throughout the day Monday that dealt with suicide, including a post encouraging followers to remember that even though loving Jesus doesn’t cure illnesses such as depression, PTSD or anxiety, Jesus does offer companionship and comfort.

He wrote:

1. Loving Jesus doesn’t always cure suicidal thoughts.
2. Loving Jesus doesn’t always cure depression.
3. Loving Jesus doesn’t always cure PTSD.
4. Loving Jesus doesn’t always cure anxiety.
5. But that doesn’t mean Jesus doesn’t offer us companionship and comfort. He ALWAYS does that.

The news of Wilson’s death comes on Suicide Awareness Day, September 10, and follows a number of high profile suicides among pastors and the mental health community, including by 30-year-old Andrew Stoecklein, a pastor in Chino, California, who often preached about mental illness.

Wilson shared openly about his own mental health challenges in his most recent book, Love Is Oxygen: How God Can Give You Life and Change Your World, and blog posts. He blogged earlier this summer that he had dealt with “severe depression throughout most of my life and contemplated suicide on multiple occasions.” On social media, he regularly encouraged others dealing with similar challenges with messages like, “I’m a Christian who also struggles with depression. This exists, and it’s okay to admit it.”

Breaking down the stigma of mental illness is one of the goals of Anthem of Hope, the nonprofit the pastor founded with his wife, Juli, in 2016. Anthem of Hope creates resources for the church to assist those dealing with depression, anxiety, self-harm, addiction, and suicide.

In his summer blog post, Wilson challenged the idea some Christians have that those who die by suicide are condemned to hell. Christians wouldn’t tell someone with a physical illness like cancer they are going to hell because of their diagnosis, he noted. Neither should they assume it of people with mental illnesses, which can “lead many people to do things they wouldn’t otherwise do if they didn’t struggle.”

“Those who say suicide automatically leads to hell obviously don’t understand the totality of mental health issues in today’s world, let alone understand the basic theology behind compassion and God’s all-consuming grace,” he said. “We must do better at educating people on things they have a hard time wrapping their heads around. And mental health is definitely (a) topic Christians around the world must yearn to better understand.”
