About the book

Do you want your church to thrive, grow and fulfil its mission in Christ… but it seems something is standing in its way? What if that something is you?

Join Scott as he tells of the journey God took him on with the help of his good friend John Bates. The goal of that journey was for him to stop getting in God’s way and let Him lead The Oaks church. Scott had to clear the “stage” of all the props, his own plans and programs, and hand everything over to the Holy Spirit. That’s when it got interesting.

A deep spiritual awakening and renewal came to The Oaks… but only after Scott himself experienced personal renewal.

If you don’t step out of your comfort zone, you won’t experience the adventure of God entering your life and ministry in a way you have never known before. If you are ready to make room, give up your own leadership and give place to the Holy Spirit, you will experience miracles happening in you and through you.
