In this episode, Scott unpacks one of the rawest, most powerful moments in scripture — Luke 23:43 — where a dying thief turns to Jesus and simply says, “Remember me.” No perfect prayer. No religious performance. Just pain, honesty, and surrender.

This is about the real gospel — the one that meets you in the mess.
It’s not about being clean or holy. It’s about being willing.

Scott reflects on how God’s love showed up in his own brokenness, why FTG was born out of that chaos, and what it means to turn toward something greater in your darkest hour.

Whether you’re in recovery, wrestling with your faith, or just trying to make peace with God — this one is for you.

Listen if you’ve ever asked:

• Can God love someone like me?
• What if I don’t pray the “right” way?
• How do I find spiritual truth outside of religion?

In this Rip Clip we unpack the brutal truth about addiction’s promise of power—and how it always comes up empty.

Addiction gives you the summit in seconds, then rips you back to the bottom. We talk about the cycle of chasing okayness through bottles, baggies, and bullshit... and how the real power was never out there to begin with.

This is about breaking the curriculum of instant gratification. About learning to climb the damn mountain—step by step, pain by pain—because that’s where the treasure is hidden.

God isn’t in the high.
He’s buried in the hurt you won’t face.
And peace? You can’t steal it.
You have to become it.

🎙️ EPISODE 137: Ego Improv

“Your ego is doing improv in your skull—and we call it truth? Nah. That’s pain with a mic.”

In this soul-shaking solo riff, Scott pulls apart the destructive improv routine running in our minds and lays out how to reclaim authorship over your inner narrative. Inspired by The Untethered Soul, this episode explores the power of simply witnessing your thoughts instead of becoming them.

Scott unpacks the idea of taking action in opposition to the mind—when it says, "You can't," you go anyway. He ties in addiction recovery, the false self, and even drops a breakdown of Jasmine’s Hero's Journey from Disney’s Aladdin. From the voice in your head to the spiritual power of disruption, this episode is a firestarter for anyone ready to drop the act and live in truth.

🔹 Learn how ego programs our reactions 🔹 The illusion of thought as identity 🔹 Why action, not analysis, leads to healing 🔹 Jasmine, Raja, and the call to a whole new world 🔹 The divine purpose in disruption

Watch your thoughts, not because they’re true—but because they aren’t you.

This one hits deep. No fluff. Just truth.
Hit play and let’s get free.

We all carry wounds. The question is—do we weaponize them or let them wake us up?

In this episode, Scott rips into our addiction to suffering and how we use our pain as currency, identity, and even power. From whining and blame to self-imposed isolation, we explore how easy it is to mistake victimhood for virtue. But here’s the truth: your limp isn’t your shame—it’s your initiation.

Scott dives into:

• Why some people don't want a solution—they want an audience
• The dangerous comfort of pain-based identity
• How we use our wounds to push people away and justify isolation
• The lie of "us vs. them" in a divided world
• Why blame is just grief with a mask on

This one's for the soul that's tired of suffering just to belong.
Let your wound be a crown, not a cage.

In this episode of From the Grave Podcast, Scott explores the paradox of comfort—the lie that comfort comes from avoiding discomfort. True discomfort actually blooms when we hide behind the illusion of ease. Pushing through limiting beliefs, even when it’s painful, leads to real and lasting freedom.

Scott calls into question the contemporary obsession with hustle, grind, and sleepless ambition. In an age that screams "work harder, hustle more," he asks: Is this really the life you want? Is it possible that everything you desire is already waiting for you—not through effort and exhaustion, but through surrender to spiritual growth?

He dives into the power of stepping into your highest vibratory self—your truest, most authentic state of being. When you stay loyal to that frequency, everything you've ever wanted finds its way to you effortlessly. No striving, no forcing—just a carefree, effortless, unhurried flow of life moving through you.

In this episode of From the Grave Podcast, we break down the brutal and beautiful truth of The Hero’s Journey. This isn’t some fairy tale — it’s about getting gutted by life, dragged into the dark, and clawing your way back with something real to offer. We talk about the call that wrecks your comfort zone, the storms that tear you apart, and the raw power found in facing the thing you fear the most. From The Matrix to The Lion King, from ancient myths to the streets we walk today — it’s the same story: you either answer the call or rot where you stand.

You're waiting for a cat to bark. It sounds like you are expecting mangos from a fig tree. Standing around waiting for the world to change or God to do it for you. How can they not see my beliefs? Courage to change the things you can and the real version of the Serenity Prayer. The clutch falls out. The good part is you are now a part of Life. This puts a responsibility on your shoulders. The weeds within the garden. There is an antagonist inside of you. Men suffer in silence. Spirituality is moving through life friction free. Our self-serving way keeps us from the gliding. The empty can on the counter.. Your beliefs are less important than mine. Tanning in shame. Blue light glasses.

The rising value in life. Untapped energy. Enjoy yourself living what your life calls for right now. Thank you God for simplicity and lifting the madness. Turning your life over to God. Pain brings us into living from a radical perspective. "A man takes what he wants." If I desire authentically it will be mine. Integrity is our guide. Remember when we were worried about...blank? Everything passes in significance overtime. It is such a worry until it isn't. So why fret? 'The Game of Life and How to Play It" - Florence Scovel Shinn. The power of life and death is in the tongue. Less madness when we follow peaceful directions. I got faith when I followed faith. Who can create a flower? Spiritual superiority.
