Little Things Matter More Than You Think

from Alive & Sober · host Reno Collier

Join Reno Collier on Alive & Sober as he shares a powerful story about the unexpected moments that shape our lives and recovery. In this episode, Reno reflects on how the biggest turning points often come from the smallest, seemingly insignificant interactions—like a blunt but honest comment from an old-timer in a recovery meeting that changed his perspective forever. Drawing from Zechariah 4:10, “For who despises the day of small things?”, Reno encourages listeners to pay attention to the little things God uses to guide us, rather than always waiting for the next big event. Read: Dive into Zechariah 4:10 and consider how God works through small moments. Reflect: Think about the “small things” in your own life that have had a big impact. Are you overlooking God’s subtle guidance? Respond: Pray along with Reno, asking Jesus to help you notice and appreciate the daily “Godwinks” that shape your journey. Reveal: Share your own story of a small but meaningful moment with someone else, showing how God uses the ordinary to do the extraordinary. If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting for something big to change your life, this episode will help you see the value in the everyday moments and encourage you to stay open to God’s direction. Remember, if no one told you they love you today, Reno does.

This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.
