Rick Warren is the founder and Sr. Pastor of the large,
multi-site Saddleback Church in southern California and is perhaps more widely
known as the author of the international best-selling book, The Purpose Driven Life. Warren’s son, Matthew committed suicide on
April 5, 2013 after a life-long struggle with depression. Rick and his wife Kay stepped out of their
role at church for four months as they began to grieve the loss of their son.
On July 27th, Pastor Warren returned to
Saddleback Church to teach a series on grief, loss and mental
illness. His first sermon was titled
"How to Get Through What You're Going Through." Our prayer is that listening to this message
(or the series) will help you along your own grief
journey. You can watch the series at the following link http://saddleback.com/mc/m/16056
