Welcome to Alive and Sober with Reno C, where real-life recovery and faith collide. In this powerful episode, host Reno Collier sits down with special guests Dan Whitney (Larry the Cable Guy) and Cara Whitney for an honest, heartfelt conversation about addiction, forgiveness, and the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ.
Reno, Dan, and Cara share personal stories from their years on the road together, reflecting on the challenges of addiction, the pain it causes loved ones, and the hope that comes from true redemption. They discuss the importance of making amends, the difficulty of rebuilding trust, and how God can use even our biggest failures for good—just as Romans 8:28 promises.
Cara and Dan offer their perspectives as friends and family members who supported Reno through his darkest times, while Reno opens up about the journey from denial and self-destruction to sobriety and a renewed relationship with God. Together, they explore how faith, accountability, and tough love can break the cycle of addiction and lead to lasting change.
Take action with the 4 R’s:
Read: Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Open your Bible and read this passage, letting its promise sink in.
Reflect: Think about a time when you or someone you love faced a “dumpster fire” moment. How did God show up, even in the mess? What does redemption look like in your own story?
Respond: Pray—“God, thank you for never giving up on me. Help me to trust that you can redeem even my worst moments. Give me the courage to make amends, to forgive, and to walk in your purpose for my life. Amen.”
Reveal: Share your story of redemption with someone who needs hope. Show through your actions and words how God’s love and forgiveness have changed you. Be a living example of the truth that no one is beyond God’s reach.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, know that you’re not alone. There is hope, and there is help. Join us on this journey of faith, recovery, and real transformation.
