At his lowest moment, Kevin Hines jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge—and immediately wanted to live. Today’s devotion offers hope for anyone battling despair and reminds us how one simple question could save a life.

What if one question could stop someone from ending their life?

At age 19, Kevin Hines jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. The moment he let go, he regretted it. Miraculously, he survived—and now shares his story to help others. In today’s devotion, we look at what Psalm 34:18 says about God’s nearness in our darkest moments, and how we can be part of someone else’s rescue.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

The heartbreaking truth Kevin realized the moment he jumped
What Psalm 34:18 promises to the crushed and brokenhearted
Why asking “Are you OK?” might be the most powerful thing you do today
