50. The Self-Conscious Seed: Scott Trout Sermon on Acting and the Need to Surrender
Scott Trout's story of acting, fame, and trying to be the life of the party all the while still trying to be a Christian and "measure up" spiritually. This led to a constant battle of trying to please those around him and getting lost in who he actually wanted to be. What Scott needed was to realize he is just a seed not an autonomous human being, and he needed to submit to the process of "being gardened."
"The seed needs to die to two things: living for its own fruit and trying to grow on its own strength"--Scott Trout
Key Texts:
"Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." John 12:24
"I am the vine, you are the branches.... apart from me you can do nothing" John 15:5
Scott was the speaker at the Navigator Emerging Leaders Conference in the UK in February 2024.
