The Meat Mafia Podcast #401 Scott Hatch: Hearing God in a Distracted World
Scott Hatch is a pastor, church planter, and spiritual mentor based in Austin, Texas. As the founder of Thrive Church, Scott has spent the past decade leading a gritty and grounded ministry built on obedience, presence, and the power of the gospel. He is also Harry’s close friend and pastor, offering wisdom, encouragement, and spiritual direction that has shaped both lives and community in Austin.
In this episode Harry sits down with his pastor and close friend Scott Hatch for a raw and powerful conversation on what it means to walk in deep relationship with God. They cover Scott’s 10 year journey leading Thrive Church, the challenges of staying rooted in a rootless culture, and why obedience not results is the true mark of success. From spiritual discipline to hearing God's voice and embracing the cost of commitment, this episode is a masterclass on following Jesus with depth, courage, and clarity.
What we cover:
- The cost of obedience and staying the course
- Rootedness in an uncommitted culture
- The difference between discipline and intimacy with Jesus
