A Georgia Pastor, Rev. Teddy Parker, 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.”
The 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.
Rev. Teddy Parker Jr., 42, of Bibb Mount Zion Baptist Church in Macon, Ga. was discovered by his wife, Larrinecia Parker, 38, in the driveway of their Warner Robins house with a ”self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
“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 doesn’t really understand.”
