Unorthodox Real Deal – An Interview with Scott Ferrell

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!
