Dr. Scott Silverii was a highly decorated, twenty-five-year law enforcement officer that promptly ended in retirement when God called Scott out of public service and into His service. Scott Silverii answered God’s calling even when it “interfered” with his career.

Scott admits that leading people to Christ is more exciting than the twelve years he spent undercover, sixteen years in SWAT, and five years as chief of police combined. His education and experience allow Scott Silverii for a deeper understanding in ministering to the wounded, as he worked to break free from his own past pain and abuse.

Having authored over 45 books, Scott’s ministry service allows him to mentor aspiring faith-based authors through he and his wife Leah’s Christian publishing house, Five Stones Press.

Today, all of us are going to learn what it actually means when God calls you even when it interfere’s with your career and do you have confidence to tell the Lord, yes send me. And Scott did just that.
