Join Me in Prayer
Craig Gross posted this on the XXXChurch site Wednesday:
One of the speakers on the XXXChurch team ended his own life yesterday, and I don’t know how to handle it. His name is Steve Glisan. You can watch his story by clicking here [below]. You can read some of his blogs he wrote on the XXXchurch site here. He is survived by his wife Ann and his three children. I fly to Colorado Springs on Friday and will be able to say a few things at the funeral on Saturday. Donny, Michelle and myself will be in the springs and hope to be an encouragement to the family and friends this weekend. Please keep the family in your prayers.
Steve’s death is such a tragedy and it has impacted our entire XXXChurch ministry team. Please join me in praying for Craig tonight as he prepares his message for tomorrow’s funeral.
I’ve included a video from the XXXChurch site that features Steve and his wife discussing their struggle with sexual addiction. This video has ministered to many, many couples and has certainly touched me.
Steve leaves behind a glorious testimony in his wife, Ann. Please keep her and their children in your prayers.
I will definitely be keeping them in prayer. I have been since I read about the situation on Donny’s blog. Having been to the point where I was ready to check out of planet Earth myself it breaks my heart to see someone who decides to go through with it. I feel so horrible for his family and his daughters.
Wow. I’m too late to pray for you for Saturday’s talk, but praying for you all now.
Thank you both so much. It is very, very appreciated.
I am praying for Steve’s family during this difficult time. I am so sad to learn about Steve’s death. We met steve two years ago when he helped us found our house. What a wonderful person he was and so proud of his wife and children. while at a business lunch, he spoke of his daughter starting college and playing soccer. He was so happy and proud. He loved his family so much. I am chocked and saddened by this news.
God bless his family.
I am sad to hear of Steve's struggle ending this way. He has made a valient effort to stand up and acknowledge the difficultiesof living in addiction. I met him four years ago, and I can only say that Steve was an inspiration to me and many others. I will pray for Steve and his family and ask for prayers for all famlies of those involved in addictions in our society. There is always a deep root, and Steve shows how incidious this root is in our lives.
