According to a statement from Harvest Church in Riverside, Jarrid Wilson died Monday evening.

Loving Jesus doesn’t always cure suicidal thoughts.

Loving Jesus doesn’t always cure depression.
Loving Jesus doesn’t always cure PTSD.
Loving Jesus doesn’t always cure anxiety.
But that doesn’t mean Jesus doesn’t offer us companionship and comfort.
He ALWAYS does that.
Most recently, he was an associate pastor at megachurch Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California. He joined the church 18 months ago.
“At a time like this, there are just no words,” Harvest senior pastor Greg Laurie told Christianity Today.
It is with the deepest sadness and shock that I have to report that @JarridWilson went to be with the Lord last night.

This is Jarrid Wilson baptizing someone last Saturday. Look at the joy on both his and the young lady’s face that he baptized.
