The Spiritual Awakening You Didn’t Know You Had

from Alive & Sober · host Reno Collier

In this episode of Alive & Sober with Reno C, Reno dives into the question so many in recovery ask: "Why haven't I had a big spiritual awakening moment?" Using 1 Kings 19:12—"And after the fire, the sound of a low whisper"—Reno shares his own journey of understanding that not all awakenings are dramatic. Sometimes, God works quietly, shaping us through small moments and gentle nudges. Reno encourages listeners to stop forcing spiritual breakthroughs and instead trust God's timing, reminding us that even finding faith is an awakening in itself. Read: Open your Bible to 1 Kings 19:12 and consider how God often speaks in whispers, not just in grand gestures. Reflect: Think about the subtle ways God may be working in your life right now. Are you overlooking quiet moments of growth or change? Respond: Pray along with Reno—"Jesus, help me to trust your timing and recognize your presence, even in the small, quiet moments. Awaken my heart to your love and guidance today. Amen." Reveal: Share with someone how a small, seemingly ordinary moment has impacted your faith or recovery journey. Let them know that not all awakenings come with fireworks—sometimes, God’s whispers are the most powerful. If you’ve ever wondered why your spiritual journey doesn’t look like someone else’s, this episode of Alive & Sober with Reno Collier will encourage you to embrace your unique path and trust that God is working, even when you can’t see it. Remember, if no one told you they love you today, Reno does.
