Trueface From Bankruptcy to Breakthrough // Scott Boyd
What happens when your business fails, your spouse is diagnosed with cancer, and everything you’ve built feels like it’s slipping away?
In this powerful conversation, we sit down with longtime friend and marketplace leader Scott Boyd. Scott shares his journey from early faith and career struggles to encountering the transformative message of grace through deep suffering and loss. After nearly losing his business and walking with his late wife through cancer twice, Scott discovered a new way of living—not through performance, but through trusting God with his identity, work, and pain.
From memorizing Galatians on hiking trails to watching his business grow from $5M to $150M, Scott’s story is a compelling picture of what happens when we shift from striving to freedom. He opens up about the fears that keep us from trusting grace, the beauty of deep friendship, and how transformation shows up as deeper love for others.
Whether you’re a ministry leader, entrepreneur, or just someone longing for more, this conversation will reframe how you see God, yourself, and your work.
Key Takeaways:
- Grace in Practice: True transformation begins when we trust that sanctification—like justification—is by faith, not effort.
- From Fear to Freedom: When we stop striving to “be enough,” we begin to experience love, freedom, and relational health.
- Workplace as Worship: A grace-filled approach to leadership leads to healthier teams and surprising success—in Scott’s case, scaling his business tenfold.
- Transformation Evidence: Love increases, judgment decreases, and others begin to notice—we become more patient, joyful, and free.
- Healing in Community: Sharing our struggles in safe relationships, like Scott's 21-year men’s group, fosters deep emotional and spiritual healing.
- Enduring Loss with Faith: After losing his wife Bev, Scott modeled trusting God through grief—and later found new life and love again.
