#191 - ep.9 I Do Not Know — But God Knows
I Do Not Know — But God Knows: Lessons from Cuban Pastors In this final episode of this 9-part series, Scott gathers lessons from Cuban pastors about providence, remembered faithfulness, and what it means to trust God first when resources and certainty run out. He contrasts American security systems with the necessity-driven dependence of pastors in hardship and explores how humility, community, wise planning, and obedience form a resilient faith. The episode centers on the seven-word confession, "I do not know, but God knows," urging listeners to remember God’s past faithfulness, place dependence before convenience, and take faithful steps even when the outcome is uncertain.

#190 - ep.8 What Suffering Actually Does
Accept, Like, Love, Embrace: Samuel Lamb’s Answer to Suffering This episode explores how suffering tests and shapes Christian faith, focusing on Pastor Samuel Lamb and resilient Cuban pastors who endured persecution. It explains Lamb’s four-step response—accept, like, love, embrace—and how suffering can clarify values and deepen dependence on Christ. The host connects biblical examples (Jesus, Paul, Hebrews 11) to practical guidance, offering five reflective questions to help listeners interpret and respond to their own pain. Ultimately, the episode frames suffering within the larger story of God’s presence: pain is real but does not have the final word, and faithfulness may be shown through endurance as well as deliverance.

#189 - ep.7 Life with God NOT For God
A Life with God, Not for God In Episode 7 of The Harder Way's series "Before the Pressure Comes," Scott explores how Cuban pastors maintain spiritual resilience by living with God first, rather than merely working for God. Drawing on interviews and doctoral research, he contrasts a disciplined, transformative relationship with God—marked by prayer, Scripture, and communal fasting—with the hollow busyness that leaves faith drained. Listeners are challenged to examine their practices, motives, and visible fruit to cultivate a life rooted in communion with Christ.

The Church That Cannot Be Eliminated — How Community Survives Persecution This episode explores how the Cuban church's deep community, mutual care, and stewardship enable faith to endure under pressure. It urges the American church to build relationships now—so members and leaders are known, supported, and able to carry one another before crisis arrives.

#187 - ep5 The Unnamed Call
Called, Not Promoted: When God Sends You Where You'd Rather Not Go This episode examines what it means to be called by God rather than defined by a title or position. Using stories from Cuban pastors who left comfortable livelihoods to serve their communities, the host contrasts preference with calling, explains how calling is tested and confirmed, and highlights the costs and commitments involved. Listeners receive practical questions to name and assess their assignment, encouragement to obey faithfully, and a reminder that obedience often means doing the next good thing until the Caller releases you.

#186 - ep4 Lose the Word, Lose the Way
When Scripture Rules: Rediscovering the Bible's Authority Scott explores the centrality of the Bible, telling stories from persecuted believers and urging Christians to stop treating Scripture as a decoration or tool and to let it govern their lives. He emphasizes memorizing Scripture, submitting to its authority, and keeping the Word as the foundation when suffering or culture pressures us. Listeners are invited to examine how Scripture has changed them, identify passages they avoid, and consider how much of the Bible would remain in their hearts if physical access were lost.

#185 - ep3 What Fear is Doing to the American Church
When Fear Leads the Church: Fight, Flee, Compromise Episode 3 examines how fear—rather than faith—shapes many responses in the American church, driving fight, flee, and compromise. Drawing on lessons from Cuban pastors and biblical examples, Scott urges listeners to identify what their fear is teaching them and to reorder their hearts under the fear of God. Practical questions and vivid stories (including Peter’s failures and restoration) challenge believers to choose God’s approval over man’s and prepare for costly faithfulness.

#184 - ep2 Fighting the Idol of Prosperity
Before the Pressure: How Prosperity Steals Courage This episode examines how comfort and prosperity can quietly dull a Christian's obedience and offers a practical response drawn from resilient pastors who faced sustained pressure. Scott outlines three practices—name the fear, exercise the faith, and return ownership to God—and urges listeners to practice faithfulness now so they are prepared when real pressure comes.
