Message Rhema: The Made New Podcast - How a Single Quote Pulled Him Back From Drugs and Darkness | Ben's Rhema Moment | Episode 6In this powerful episode, hosts Eddie and Alberto sit down with their brother in Christ, Ben Cimarrusti, to discuss his journey through spiritual drift, brokenness, and redemption. Ben shares how subtle compromises and a growing sense of entitlement led him away from a close walk with Christ and back toward the drugs, gangs, and violence that the Lord had previously rescued him from.With honesty and humility, Ben opens up about the darkness he experienced during this season and the consequences of falling away from God's will. He also recounts the pivotal moment when the Lord used a quote from George Macdonald's Unspoken Sermons to bring a life-changing Rhema word that pierced his heart and called him to complete surrender.Ben's testimony is a powerful reminder of God's relentless grace and faithfulness. Through full repentance and surrender, the Lord restored him and opened doors for ministry far beyond what he could have imagined—including opportunities to minister to congregations as far away as Pakistan.As Ben prepares to graduate from Teen Challenge Ministry Institute and move to Tennessee to serve with Teen Challenge, he reflects on God's redemptive work in his life and encourages listeners to trust Christ's restoring power, no matter how far they may have wandered.Join Eddie, Alberto, and Ben for a candid conversation about repentance, surrender, restoration, and the amazing grace of God that pursues His children even in their darkest moments.Book Discussed: "Unspoken Sermons" By George MacdonaldBuy here: https://a.co/d/07pryCSfGrace Kids - Pakistan Ministry by Evangelist Nazia Shahbaz Learn More Here: https://www.facebook.com/people/Evangelist-Nazia-Shahbaz/100029067485990/Help support Message Rhema by buying Special Edition Merchandise!!!https://messagerhema.com

In this powerful episode, Host Eddie and guest co-host Alberto sit down with Nick Roembke for an honest conversation about addiction, emotional pain, mental illness, and surviving a suicide attempt. Nick shares the darkest moments of his journey and the turning point that came through the relentless prayers, love, and perseverance of his mother, who never stopped fighting to help her son find hope and healing.

A year after she first reached out for resources, Nick finally received the help he needed. He opens up about searching for identity and belonging through golf, finding success in the sport, yet still feeling empty as addiction slowly took hold of his life.Today, Nick’s story is one of redemption, faith, and transformation. From Indiana to California, he now walks a new path led by Jesus, using his experiences to encourage others who may feel lost, broken, or beyond restoration. This episode is a testimony of grace, second chances, and the life-changing power of faith, family, and community.
