Scott Hatch is the Lead Pastor of ThriveAustin Vineyard Church. In this episode, he shares his incredible story of how he went from a being a meth addict and drug dealer to getting clean, surrendering his life to Jesus, and dedicating his life to ministry.

He has been the most impactful spiritual mentor I have ever had in my life and has walked with me on my faith journey since we met last July two weeks before I had a sudden cardiac arrest.

Scott is a testament to the love that God has for us and that it is never too late to fully commit your life to Christ.
