The heart behind TeenHopeLine

Pain doesn’t get the last word.

Joseph Rojas knows what it is like to feel trapped in a painful chapter. His story is part of why TeenHopeLine exists.

This story mentions addiction and a past suicide attempt, without graphic details. Take care of yourself as you read or watch.

A life changed. A reason to reach back.

Joseph Rojas, lead singer of Seventh Day Slumber, has spoken openly about addiction, deep despair, and surviving a suicide attempt. He describes an encounter with Jesus as the turning point in his life.

That experience became part of a mission: to let hurting young people know they are loved, that their lives matter, and that asking for help can be a beginning.

TeenHopeLine carries that heart forward by pointing teens toward a caring conversation, practical support, and the hope found in faith.
