Andy Mineo Offers Ronda Rousey Christ After She Contemplated Suicide

During a interview with Ellen Degeneres on February 15th, MMA fighter Rhonda Rousey revealed that she contemplated suicide after her first career loss and the loss of her title to Holly Holm last year. 

Rousey admitted

"Honestly, my thought... I was like, in the medical room and I was down in the corner and I was sitting in the corner like,What am I anymore if I'm not this? I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself and that exact second. I'm like, I'm nothing; what do I do anymore? And no one give ... about me anymore without this."

Reach Records rapper Andy Mineo greatly touched by Rhonda's comments, offered some advice to her on his Facebook page by writing.

"MAN! This strikes a chord for me. So often our identities are found in what we do,  but what we do isn't who we truly are.  Every public figure fears the day that their "moment" will be over. When there will be somebody else newer, younger, better... and that verifies us," 

" I struggle with my own identity often. My accomplishments are fleeting. What has been able to keep me in my greatest moments of struggle is my faith in Jesus. Knowing God gives me identity and validation that no person can take away." 

Mineo continued ,"If I succeed, He loves me. If I fail miserable, He loves me. He calls me His son - and like any good father - His love for His children isn't based on performance."

He ended his post by wishing her luck on her next match 

"Just know you're made in the image of God, valuable and loved regardless the outcome. Blessing!"

Mousey nearly died after being born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, which caused slight brain damage and impeded her ability to speak until she was 6. At the age of 8, she was also faced with the tragedy of her father's suicide. She has had it rough since birth.
