Recently, Wenning shared another message that reflects where his mindset is today.
Quoting from a Christian teaching, he wrote:
“In God’s Hands, the Dark Past is the Greatest Possession You Have.”
The message speaks about how past mistakes, failures, and painful experiences do not have to define someone's future.
Instead, they can become part of a person's testimony of redemption through faith in Jesus Christ, showing how God can use even the worst moments in someone's life for good.
For those who have followed Wenning's story over the years, the quote carries extra meaning.
He has been honest about the struggles that led him away from skateboarding and the consequences that followed. Now, he appears focused on staying sober, growing in his faith, and making better choices each day.
At a time when satanic imagery and references to Satan continue to appear throughout parts of skateboarding, it is refreshing to see someone openly speaking about Jesus Christ and giving God the credit for changing his life.

Many people enjoy seeing him back in the streets doing what he loves while also sharing encouraging messages that may help others who are dealing with their own struggles.
Hopefully, he continues finding strength through God and keeps building on the positive changes he has already made. Amen.
