From Drug Dealer to Dumpster... Then God Found Him - SFT

Welcome to the podcast Spiritually Fit Today. Arnie Cole and guest Mike Heili share Mike’s raw journey from drug use beginning in fifth grade through homelessness and rock bottom — and the pivotal moment when faith and the promise of Joel 2:25 brought hope, healing, and restoration. Want to engage this truth? Try the 4 R’s: Read — Read Joel 2:25 and the surrounding chapter slowly; note words about restoration and renewal. Reflect — Ask: Where have I experienced loss or brokenness? How does God’s promise change my view of failure and hope? Journal your answers. Respond — Internalize this lesson through prayer, memorizing Joel 2:25, joining a recovery or accountability group, and seeking pastoral or professional help if needed. Reveal — Share your story or Mike’s testimony with one person, invite someone to church or a recovery ministry, or serve someone in need to demonstrate God’s restoration.
