Episode 4 - Pastor Scott Coy on living a life modeled after 1 Thessalonians 2:8
<p>For more than 56 years, Scott Coy has poured his life into discipling men with a steady, Christ-centered faithfulness. In the early 1970s, he was the first man to disciple my father-in-law, Pastor Steve Hardin, planting seeds of gospel conviction that still bear fruit in generations of ministry today. Scott is a man deeply serious about engaging the gospel within a rapidly changing culture, always seeking to help others see how fully and personally God loves them. His ministry journey has taken him through 17 years with Young Life, 26 years of shepherding as a founding elder at Watermark, and years of chaplaincy in the marketplace after leading companies himself. His influence has stretched across mission fields worldwide, from Ukraine and Vietnam to Africa and Cuba. Scott embodies a lifetime of quiet obedience, steadfast discipleship, and a heart anchored in the good news of Jesus. His story invites us to follow Christ with humility, perseverance, and a deep love for people.</p>
