In this episode, Arnie and Reno discuss the realities of pursuing a career in comedy, the challenges of addiction, and the importance of loving what you do while learning to surrender your struggles to God. Reno shares his journey from living out of his car to finding success on TV, and how his path to sobriety and faith has shaped his life and career. Today's memory verse is James 4:7: "Submit yourselves then to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Arnie and Reno explore what it means to stop pretending, start surrendering, and persevere in the right direction. They challenge listeners to consider what areas of life need to be surrendered to God and offer practical steps for spiritual fitness. Take action with the 4 R's: Read: Spend time with James 4:7 and let its message sink in. Reflect: Ask yourself, "What area of my life do I need to stop managing and start surrendering to God?" Respond: Pray, "God, help me surrender the areas of my life I’m holding onto. Guide me step by step into trusting You." Reveal: Share with someone you trust what you’re turning over to God today and ask them to pray for you. Don’t miss the quiz question: Which New Testament man went from boldly declaring he’d never disown Jesus to denying Him, then humbly repented and surrendered to God? Share your answer in the comments or email arnie.cole@bttb.org. If you enjoyed this episode, check out Reno Collier’s podcast, Alive and Sober with Reno C., for more stories of hope and recovery. Remember, spiritual fitness isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up daily. Celebrate your progress and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement.
