Grace Is Bigger Than Your Worst Mistake - SFT

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Mike Heili. In this episode Mike shares his powerful life-transformation story — from addiction to scholarship, a painful relapse, and God’s redeeming restoration. Using Peter’s failure-and-restoration as a model, Mike shows how grace is bigger than our patterns and how God still has work for us. He also reflects on restored relationships, spiritual disciplines, and living a humble, ongoing walk with Christ. 4 R action steps - Read: Read the account of Peter’s restoration in John 21 and notice God’s response to failure. - Reflect: Ask: Where have I trusted performance over grace? How does God’s restoration reshape my identity? Meditate on “I will restore the years the locust hath eaten.” - Respond: Confess honestly, commit to daily spiritual disciplines (Bible reading, prayer, community), and write your line: “He saved me from ___, and He’s still saving me from ___.” Tell one person what God has restored in you this week. Consider the “prayer reps” habit and a 91-day spiritual challenge. - Reveal: Share your testimony with someone who needs hope, serve in a place of need, or visibly extend forgiveness to demonstrate God’s redeeming work.
