Growing up, Scott Ferrell was an authentic Golden Child, at least in the eyes of his Sunday School teachers. Scott accepted Jesus at five-years-old, grew up in a solid Christian home, and would eagerly share Jesus with other little kids.

But, when he moved to California at 16, everything changed.

Here are just a few of the highlights of Scott’s story:

• From age 16 to 23, Scott jumped into drugs, alcohol & women
• In 1987, he checked himself into rehab and it made sense
• After 10 years of sobriety, he would say he was a “Clean & Sober good guy… but with a bad attitude”.
• Scott walked back into church and felt like he never left
• Today, Scott is trying to be useful everyday for Jesus
• He created the Iron Sharpens Iron Garage
• Who comes to the Garage? Pastors, Bikers, everyday guys – guys who are real!
• Scot shares his thoughts on dealing with men: Getting real, fakes & frauds
• He sees himself “living in a different mission field” than many expect
• Scott’s favorite Bible verse:
  • Whatever you do,whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:17)
  • In other words, whatever you do, do it for God – your actions, your attitude, your words… live it!
• Everything we do needs to be for God
• Advice for guys wanting to lead men:
  • Pray first
  • Get to know the rules & regulations for their culture
  • Be super respectful – it’s their world you are just visiting
  • Build authentic friendships

This is just part of Scott’s story. You’ve got to hear what God has done throughout his life to mold him into the man he is today – an authentic, genuine, real deal who serves Jesus!
