Summary of EPISODE:
Imagine having it all—fame, success, money, love. Now, imagine losing it all overnight because you did the right thing. After having his modeling and acting stardom on the rise for so many years, Cameron Arnett’s life came to a halt after his conversion to Christ made him think and act differently. He thought he found his true calling in happily teaching the Bible and doing ministry for the next two decades. But God wasn’t done with Cameron’s “Hollywood” story yet.
Notes and Quotes:
- “The church that I was going to gave me a watered down, no power, regular existence, kind of a Jesus that could save you, but that couldn’t change you. . .that’s the Jesus that I wanted on the inside. I received that one, and that one converted me. I started making converted decisions, and those converted decisions started giving me anti-world results.”
- “Following God had to cause us to unravel all the stuff that we had put together in our personal lives. And then He re-raveled what He wanted.”
- “I look back at my life and deliberately call God my orchestrator. Between being my orchestrator and being the faithful God, those two things have been like the continual demonstration of God in my life.”
- “[God] has put together every dot, and every dot has meant something. Even the things I thought were not good and didn’t think they were a promotion, prosperity, or going forward. It was a dot that He had planned to reconnect at some point in time.
