Are You in a Season of Obscurity? w/ Scott Silverii EP 401
Many of us have experienced being in a season of obscurity. Maybe we are in it right now. What is God doing in us in this season? You are challenged to think about the fact that he is activating your anointing. Dr. Scott Silverii is a son of the Living God. Thankful for the gift of his wife, Leah, they share seven kids, a French bulldog named Bacon and a micro-mini goldendoodle named Biscuit. A highly decorated, twenty-five year law enforcement career promptly ended in retirement when God called Scott out of public service and into HIS service. The "Chief" admits that leading people to Christ is more exciting than the twelve years he spent undercover, sixteen years in SWAT, and five years as chief of police combined. Scott has earned a Master of Public Administration and a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology. Education and experience allow for a deeper understanding in ministering to the wounded, as he worked to break free from his own past pain and abuse. In 2016, Scott was led to plant a church. Exclusive to online ministry, Five Stones Church.Online was born out of the calling to combat the negative influences reigning over social media. Scott's alpha manhood model for heroes is defined by, "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love." (1 Corinthians 16:13-14) Scott and Leah love the Lord and the passion He's placed on their hearts for ministering to people. An experienced speaker, mentor and confidential accountability partner, Scott is available for workshops, conferences and churches. He and Leah operate a nonprofit Christian publishing house that helps people share their stories with the world. Contact Five Stones Press for more information.

If you are in a season of obscurity hang in there and let God work in you. www.meninthearena.org Men in the Arena Books and Swag Support the Podcast Contact us
