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 don't really understand.".
