In: Prayer
29 Jan 2010Craig 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.
