In this powerful episode, Arnie is joined by Bruce A. for the final day of our five-day spiritual recovery series. Together, they explore how to write the next chapter of your life after hitting rock bottom, drawing inspiration from 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old is gone. The new is here." Bruce shares his personal journey of failure, recovery, and spiritual growth, emphasizing that your comeback is not about reclaiming your old life, but about receiving a new one in Christ. Discover how your scars can become signposts of God’s mercy and how your pain can be used to help others. Action Steps – The 4 R’s: Read: Dive into 2 Corinthians 5:17 and reflect on what it means to be a new creation in Christ. Make reading God’s Word a daily habit to strengthen your spiritual fitness. Reflect: Consider the black threads in your life’s tapestry. How has God used your past pain or failures to shape your story and help others? Take a moment to think about how your experiences can be a source of empathy and encouragement. Respond: Pray, “Father, thank you for redeeming my story. Use my life to point others to you. Help me to start today, building habits of grace and gratitude, and to trust you with my next chapter.” Reveal: Be living proof that God restores lives. Share your story of spiritual recovery with someone who needs hope. Encourage others by demonstrating how God’s grace has transformed your life. Remember, spiritual fitness isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up daily. Start today: read the Bible, reflect on God’s truth, respond in prayer, and reveal His love to others.
