How to Respond When God Calls You to Love the People Others Avoid


What do you do when God nudges you to speak to someone you’d rather avoid?
In this powerful episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I sit down with Scott Mocha to explore how God often calls us to love the very people society overlooks.
Scott shares his remarkable journey—from addiction to experiencing radical transformation through unconditional love. Together, Scott and I unpack what it really looks like to respond when God calls you in the moment—without fear, judgment, or pressure to “get it right.”
This conversation challenges believers to move past comfort, religious performance, and excuses, and instead reflect the heart of Christ through genuine connection, compassion, and obedience.
If you’ve ever wondered how to share your faith naturally, love people who don’t believe like you, or respond when God places someone on your heart, this episode will encourage and equip you.

Faith, Creativity, and Change: From Addiction to Servant Leadership
Scott Mocha’s story is one of radical pivots. Once a nightclub DJ caught in the spiral of drug addiction, an overdose pushed him to reluctantly embrace faith. He rebuilt his life through vocational ministry — only to have it all come crashing down… or did it?
In 2022, Scott launched a successful creative technology company. Today, he blends those worlds — creativity, spirituality, and entrepreneurship — to encourage others that change isn’t something to fear, but a superpower waiting to be unlocked.
As the author of A Row With Two Chairs and the founder of Impossible Path, Scott speaks with honesty and heart about recovery, resilience, and reinvention. He shows audiences how to embrace the pivots in their own lives — whether in faith, career, or relationships — and discover their unique voice on the journey.
Listeners come away with hope, practical insights, and the courage to step into their next chapter. If your audience is navigating transition, wrestling with identity, or searching for meaning, Scott’s story will resonate and inspire.
