In this compassionate and biblically grounded response, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries addresses difficult end-of-life questions many Christians face. He explains whether using fentanyl or other palliative care to ease pain is morally permissible, whether a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order is wrong, and how Christians should understand the concept of a “natural death.” Pastor Mike carefully distinguishes comfort care from euthanasia, affirming the sanctity of life while also encouraging wisdom, courage, and compassion as believers face death and dying. This teaching brings clarity, peace, and pastoral guidance to deeply emotional decisions.
