- Luke and Joel Smallbone of For King and Country discuss the story behind their song, “God Only Knows." They offer their thoughts about the roots of teen suicide and the need for greater connection with friends and family members.
Alive to Thrive is a biblical guide to preventing teen suicide. Anyone who interacts with teens can learn how to help prevent suicidal thinking through sound practical and clinical advice, and more importantly, biblical principles that will provide a young person with hope in Christ.

This song saved me tonite. It's not only for teens.... I am listening to this song over and over again. Depression is an illness and suicide is tragic for families. Listening to this song made me realize I can't put my family through this. I am looking to God.
We are so glad that this ministered to you. If you ever need someone to talk to, please feel free to call this number: 1-800-A-Family God bless you!
I Praise our Lord each and everyday because he saved me from my depression on 02/13/2017. I'm a 59 year young still living with it. Its not just a teenage thing.
God Bless you Karen. That's absolutely wonderful to hear how amazing our God is and what he can do when we praise him. I also have a similar thing when God helped me through depression when I was 13 yrs old now I'm 14 and I'm happier than ever.
You are so right! I've been dealing with it for decades. At 60, I'm in a better than I have been in years. You have to love and appreciate yourself first. I found my passion in volunteering for hospice. I get as much out of it, if not more, than the patients and families. So fulfilling!
Everything for king and country say and how they live out thier lives and how they whiteness to people is very powerful and moving. We truly need more examples like they have in this world. They are a blessing.
Luke said it spot on, especially the part about a fatherless generation. The ramifications of children growing up in broken homes is paramount to today's problems. I've always been a single mother trying my best to raise a boy into a young man who is now seventeen years old and despite my efforts to love, nurture and teach him about the love of God, my son is lost, depressed, confused and I don't know where to go from here. Please pray for him, God bless💝
If YOU NEED someone to talk to...I'm here!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Pls feel free to get in touch with me...been there, done that! Never what we think, I can't imagine growing up today...'either rich or poor. If ur not part of the richly rich, you don't matter!" Just what my 12 yr old daughter said this week...sad but true...

You are doing an amazing job! My parents divorced when I was 18 ( 8 months ago ) so I’ve been going through those motions but one thing I’ve learned was if I loose everything all I need is God.
I brought my grandson to a concert with me when he was 8 years old. This was his favorite 🎵
😢❤❤❤
God Only Knows helped my out so much this year. My Father was diagnosed in February, on Valentines Day, with Leukemia. He then found he has a genetic mutation that causes the cancer to grow faster, and gaining remission is so much harder. I spent two months driving back and forth between the hospital and my house, two hours away, and heard this song so many times. I wound up with a blood clot in each lung, due to all the driving, and hospitalized myself. Then I had a cancer scare. I had my gallbladder removed because of a pre-cancerous tumor. This song helped me to remember that, no matter how bad my depression got to me, I wasn't alone. Thank you guys for helping. I hope to see you in Maine soon!
It is so good to hear the truth once again. Thank you so much for speaking Gods healing truth into this broken world.
Amen amen and AMEN! Love the music but even more what’s behind the music ❤️😊
I went to FFI 2004 and since done prolife work and met luke at a concert and love K and C and played their newer cd at my brothers viewing for Hope! Godspeed
Wonderful open chat of the family value. I was 10 when my parents got divorced in 1955. I knew that when I got married it would be for life I would not any child of mine to experience what I did. Both Mom and Dad did their best but it just wasn’t the same as my friends homes.The love of my life agreed we married 50 years ago. Our Son is married and reading hi son. In a wonderful family. So yes, be a family, live the family life...not just living under the same roof like boarders Live the life of love and commitment . Thank you for this video message.
Lots of truths in this conversation- what a blessing this family is - generational.
Father put the need for Him deeply in us. If we don't get Him, we suffer.
Break out from under the spell of social media and TV/movies/music.
The world isnt for us. At all. It only brings despair. There is no real value that it gives. All of your worth comes from your Heavenly Father. Know who you are. Who you really are. Royal and cherished by your Creator.
People last forever. Everything else is false. Love people. But first. Love God.
Hold tight. Courage dear hearts. Jesus is the only Way. He is the TRUTH and He is the Life. And He is for you.
Father's and Mother's, going to Church and parents are key.
You are spot on. Thank you for songs and messages. Can’t wait to see you in Montana. God bless you and your families.
Love this turning the focus back towards our families and being here for one another.🙏🏼🙏🏼
Who else is excited for king and country coming to Winnipeg!!!!
Everyone has a worth and i wish that they know that
Real love, reality, not social media love is an important key. 💜
Love your message! 🍇🍋🍇🍋🍎🍐
You got it Luke. We often take our failures or our perception of our self-worth, our hatred for ourselves, and turn it against our very lives. It happens to anyone. Thank you to Ben as well for helping make the video that helped me get through wanting to commit suicide. Love you guys and can't wait to see you in Edmonton!
Great messages and thoughts shared. #ForKing&Country
As someone who had battled suicide for my entire life, Luke is right that "worthlessness" is the bottom line.
Words of wisdom!
Какие же вы все прекрасные!!!! Слава Богу за вас!!!!
Teen suicide is horrible. I can't imagine what they are going through beforehand.
They go through a mix of everything. Every one has a unique story.
You don’t want to.
I’ve been there before. You can’t put it into words what you feel. I’m glad I’m still alive though.
I imagine that with ANYONE wanting to commit suicide, no matter the age.
David Flash what do you mean ?
You're correct on fact.
Depression and suicide are caused by spiritual attacks. I know because I struggled with those things and when I went through deliverance, I got free from those things and I no longer have those struggles.
These guys have it figured out....
Roy Lamberton boy are they 100 percent spot on! God bless them.
A great social tool. I have it posted on my fb page.
" Fatherless generation " - it is true ...
It takes two parents to raise and influence a family. We need more Godly parents in this world. Btw is it just me or does it look like Joel is sleeping when his hat is covering his face? Lol haha 😂 love you Joel. Love you like
I subscribed!
look at the people at restaurants looking at there phone . Me and my wife go out to eat and its amazing how meany people single married and with kids and on there phones . So why go out to have a family eat out UNPLUG time is needed
I'm glad that I didn't watch the "God Only Knows" original video, only because, the line-of-sight camera work (like in Cloverfield and a few other films), gives me a killer headache. Otherwise, I love your work. P.S.; My issues don't compare to depression. I've never had it. My teenage affliction was anxiety attacks. Started at 14. In my 20's, my anger about having attacks took over, and I put my stubbornness into action and they stopped.

Was this video made in Chattanooga. Tenn?
I didn’t know they are Australian
What really bothers me is the fact that kids don’t really even talk to anyone. That smart phone is rarely used as a phone. The vast majority send texts and never really have a conversation. Many don’t know how to have one.
Satan tells me I will never have a wife, at 40 I believe it more and more. Only Jesus for me.
Don't listen to Him. Listen to what God is telling you while you wait and don't give up. My uncle got married at the age of 52 & what I can say it was really worth the wait, their union was planned by God, they are so happy together.
What I can say is God makes things beautiful at His perfect timing be patient and leant to be happy as you wait, continue working on you and being good stewards of what God has given you.
Similar singular.
Hi kindly i
alguem pode traduzir para o portugues por favor
Eles estão falando sobre a importância de ter uma família que tem fé em Deus e onde o pai e a mãe se ama. Sem pai ou mãe na família na tem jeito porque as crianças sofrer e se envolve em drogas e vício que destruí a sociedade.
no entiendo ni pio
Luke would be so handsome if he did something with his hair.
Hahaha
Both Godly men with the love of Jesus shining through... and someone is judging his hair...? 🤔
Joel is sooo selfish! Always interupting his brother in interviews(((
I'd give them grace. They're brothers after all.
Excuse me....... like Bruh 😑🙄
