Interview with Scott Hatfield

Oct 21, 2019

Scott is one of the Pastoral Impact Pastors at Southland and he shares tons of wisdom he's gained through the years of working with men.

1. Hatfield opened up about his family and upbringing. What was your family dynamic and upbringing like?
2. Men allow their circumstances to eclipse them (addiction, pride, passivity, marriage issues, purity issues, shame). They drag their pain around with them wherever they go. What issue is plaguing you? What pain or situation are you carrying around with you?
3. Pride and passivity are the main sins men struggle with. How are these two things plaguing you currently?
4. Because of the fall, a lot of men look to their work for their identity through affirmation, approval, and/or validation. How is this true for you? If not at work, where else do you look for validation?
5. When men feel incompetent, they tend to give up instead of doing the hard work. This plays out mostly in the area of being a godly husband and father. Where do you get the most frustrated in those relationships and where is it easiest to give up?
6. How can you go home and begin to foster a new reality as a Leader? What small deposits can you begin to make with your wife and kids?
7. Hatfield mentioned that too many men look to the “experts,” to tell them what the Bible shows them to be true of Jesus rather than reading it for themselves. What keeps you from getting into God’s word for yourself? What motivates you to read your Bible?
