Why Your Past Makes You Powerful

In this episode of Alive & Sober with Reno Collier, Reno dives deep into the power of brokenness and how God uses our weaknesses to shine His light. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness," Reno shares personal stories of recovery and the importance of broken people helping other broken people. He explains how those who have faced the darkest moments often become the strongest sources of hope and compassion for others. Reno emphasizes that our scars don't disqualify us—they equip us to help others on their journey. Read: Open your Bible to 1 Corinthians 12:9 and reflect on God's promise that His grace is enough, especially in our weakest moments.

Reveal: Share your story with someone who may be struggling, offering hope and encouragement from your own experience. If no one told you they love you today, Reno does.
