Men’s mental health really do matter every day. Not just for one month or a moment…but everyday. Not many people realize the inner struggles famous people like Robin Williams, Jason David Frank, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington have gone through. If there's one thing that I have learned is that everyone has a breaking point. We must reach out for support as best as we can.

You could hear it in his voice....he was just absolutely done. Absolutely heartbreaking. Lost his brother long ago, his mother, and apparently his step-daughter a few years ago. Must have felt like he lost everything, and then throw a divorce on top...this poor soul. Did no one see the signs?? Did no one simply ask "are you ok, how can I help"?? I have about 4 friends I check in on DAILY because they're always on the edge. Depression, anxiety, sobriety are NO JOKE. Help those in need and don't turn a blind eye. Rest in Paradise Green Ranger!

No more living in confusion, no more hoping. If you want to know for sure you're going to heaven when you die, just turn from your guilty conscience. Follow God to the best of your knowledge. So if anything makes your spirit uncomfortable stay away from it. But people shouldn't overthink their relationship, just focus on today. Not all Christians are on the same level but just don't plan or linger in what you learned is sin. The Holy Bible states that anyone can turn to Jesus, even people who sold their soul to the devil, like witches, psychics, sorcerers, satanists, people who participate in witchcraft. But your life here on this earth is the only time you have to make up your mind. At this point, you have to believe Jesus was more than a messenger or a good person. He was sent by God to be Savior of the world and to die for our sins. He was crucified, buried, resurrected three days later, he walked the earth for forty days then ascended into heaven. There were eyewitnesses who recorded events that took place in his life and resurrection. Information concerning Jesus' life and crucifixion was passed down through written history and oral tradition. Ask Jesus to forgive you for every sin you have committed. It doesn't matter how you do it, but just tell him that you repent. You turn from your old wicked ways and turn to him. Tell God that you accept his son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior... For now on, don't plan or linger in what you learned is against the Bible. Use what you learned so far, and apply it to your life. Once you reach a certain age, your conscience tells you what's right and what's wrong. If you can't picture Jesus giving in/ or behaving a certain way, do not give in. Not every sin will be specifically listed in scripture but you will know when you feel the guilt. To give you a good understanding of what sin is, it's lying, profanity, extortion, threatening, anger, drinking, masturbation, seduction, homosexuality, sex outside of marriage, unfaithful in relationships or marriage, trying to intentionally get high, child abuse/neglect, trying to publicly humiliate someone or put their sin on a stage, fighting, bullying, biased, prejudice, revenge, retaliation, intimidation, harassment, antagonizing, assault, violence, murder, pedophilia, racism, stealing, pornography, sorcery, abortion, encouragement/support for sin, hypocritical judgment and judging by appearance. You can also read Leviticus 20:1-17 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. God requires us to make righteous judgments such as; encouraging people to live righteously according to his commandments and standing up for what is morally right with empathy. And always keep in mind that any spiritual meditation is very dangerous if you're not focused on the spirit of Jesus. Sin can no longer be your intentions. The sin is the act, so when you have evil thoughts running through your mind. Cast it out, meditate on uprightness. But when you do end up sinning at some point, ask Jesus to forgive you. Jesus knows you can be in tough situations that involve sin but you have to come up with a plan. Don't get comfortable in sin and do your best to get out of it. You have to hate sin, continue to fight out of it. Jesus knows if you're really trying, he knows your intentions. He knows if you really hate sin. Forgive others just as Jesus has forgiven you. Unforgiveness will make you vengeful and God doesn't want vengeance in your heart. God doesn't want you riled up over people you have no control over. Don't let people have control over your mind. Forgiveness does not mean you have to put up with people, of course you're going to have to keep your distance because you know what they're about. God just wants you to let go of this grudge, this retaliation, so you can have peace. When you forgive, you're taking a big weight off your shoulders. Forgive and move on with your life. God just wants you to have control over your mind and move on with your life because your anger and emotions can keep you from thinking clearly or making wise decisions. Do your best to stay away from people who you know are intentionally sinning, you can help them but do not come into agreement or follow what they're doing. Do not deny Jesus, don't be ashamed. You might not have all the knowledge but at this point you have to be willing to stand up for him, don't back down. Continue to humble yourself to learn more about God and keep striving to do better, even through the trials and tribulations. Baptism in water is very important, it is an outward declaration of the decision that we have made for Christ. It identifies us with Christ's death, burial and resurrection. But, person can go in the water a dry devil and come out a wet devil. If a person truly receives Jesus in his heart and drops dead before the baptismal service, without a doubt, heaven will be his eternal home. The thief on the cross can attest to that. The only unforgivable sin is never receiving Jesus as savior and Lord. When the bible speaks of blaspheming against the holy spirit, it is in reference to the prideful pharisees who were attributing the works of Jesus to the devil and trying to entrap the lord. It is widely believed and I take this stand also that Jesus knowing the condition of the hearts of those particular men, was referencing them and not all men. These verses of scripture must be kept in proper context. Do not isolate the scriptures, but read the scriptures before and after, know the setting of the verses and know who the author is talking to. Before a man comes to Christ, he is capable of doing anything. To suggest that a person can commit a sin that God is not willing to forgive him for undermines the entire gospel message. Jesus came to save a lost and dying world. God has so much love and compassion for you but he can't accept you until you accept him. So when God judges you, he is not choosing whether you go to heaven or hell because you already made it to heaven based on your conscience decision to follow him. God will judge you based on your works you did on this earth to determine what rewards you will get in heaven. God knows you can do this, your emotions will have you thinking that it's harder than what it really is. He will forgive anyone for anything but they have to truly regret it and want to be forgiven. I know it might feel like God is overreacting but if you just take a look back at all the evil things you did in your life you'll realize how wonderful God is to make a way for you....

I've never had a celebrity death hit me this hard before. Power rangers was a huge part of my childhood. The first season I remember watching was Dino Thunder & seeing how great Tommy was. He did so much for the franchise & for the fans because he loved to make people happy & genuinely had fun doing all thing power rangers. I don't think anyone could've ever imagined the impact he made on so many people, even if they didn't know power rangers they knew him. He was a gift to this world one that will be missed. I'm forever grateful to Jason David Frank. RIP may the power always protect you 🙏 💔

He had a convention here in LA unfortunately I was never able to go because of work now I regret not going. That was my dream my dream was to ultimately meet him and to tell him that he did inspire me to fight back. Because at school I was always being teased and bullied because of my weight and voice. It fucking sucks he's not here. :"( I've never cried over a celebrity that I've never met before but with Jason David Frank it just hit so different.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a role model. He has inspired so many people. He was a real life hero and will stay forever in our hearts and he will not be forgotten. Maybe the Power Rangers where not real, but Jason David Frank was real as a human being and as a person. He was a martial artist and used his skills to his advantage to bring his best performance. He was so dedicated to the Power Rangers Franchise. He put his heart and soul into it. All out of love for his fans. Thank you for playing Tommy Oliver for so many years. Thank you for being a Power Ranger in many different TV Series. I was born in 1982 and I've been watching The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a kid in my childhood. Tommy Oliver was the coolest Power Ranger and such a bad ass character. I am rewatching the whole series to honor Jason David Frank. I can only guess, he never used any stunt doubles, because he was so gifted and talented as a martial artist. You can totally see that on the screen. I will for sure watch his new movie next year. With love and respect. Take care and all the best for his family and friends.

I grew up with Power Rangers as a 90s kid. My niece and nephew who are 4 and 5 they love the Power Rangers. This IP and the people who play these characters mean a lot to a lot of people. Tommy/JDF was the most important Power Ranger to a lot of people and the greatest ranger across various seasons. It hurts to see a man who was so bright and loving give up on life. It's heart breaking. I'm getting flashbacks to when Robin Williams died. It seems unreal for someone so amazing and loving and passionate for their work. For someone so inspirational. To just go like that. It hurts.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with the Power Rangers, *especially* Tommy the Green Ranger. I watched that show religiously for the first three seasons (only stopped watching once Kimberly left). I'm in my mid-30s now, and have always looked back on those times with such warmth and happiness. I fear that those memories will forever be felt with a bit of melancholy now... He was so important to my entire generation.
