Pastor commits suicide after telling
congregation that God was not
hearing him
Rev. Teddy Parker, a Macon, Georgia pastor killed
himself a few days after telling his congregation at
his church that God was not hearing him and no
longer felt a connection to God.
"I try to pray but I don’t feel like God is
hearing me,” Parker said to his congregation
“I try to serve but I don’t feel like God is
using me. And there are times in your life
when God purposely withdraws from you, he
doesn’t withdraw for the sake of leaving you
but he withdraws so you can grow and
mature.”
Rev. Parker, a father of two, shot himself in the
head with his own gun following Sunday service at
Bible Mount Zion Baptist Church while his family
and congregation were still at his church waiting
for him for the next service..
"When he didn’t show up they went looking
for him,” a church member, Russell Rowland,
told the Post. “I’m very surprised because he
didn’t preach that. He preached totally
against it. It’s something that the
congregation don’t really understand.”.
