Summary
What do you do when the person standing in the way of spiritual growth is you?
This week on Off Script, our hosts unpack the final week of the men's portion of our Toy Story series with, Servant vs. Selfish, and why dying daily is the only way forward. Scott Hatfield joins Scott Nickell as they talk baptisms, cultural resistance to servant leadership, and the gritty, often unnoticed daily choices that shape a man's character.
The challenge? Die daily. Not once, not occasionally, but every single morning. Lay down your pride, your preferences, your comfort, and pick up a cross instead. Then do it again tomorrow.
Hosts: Scott Hatfield and Scott Nickell

What We Discuss:
- What a Greek word study on "ransom" reveals about Jesus' sacrifice
- Why servant leadership is a full-contact sport
- The difference between two kinds of tired
- What women are noticing and saying about this men's series
- How self-worship is being reinforced by 150 years of culture
- Scott's warning about pastors who deny substitutionary atonement
- What men must do as the women's series begins next week

About Southland Christian Church
Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. We want what He wants: for heaven to be really crowded. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the cutting room floor, a Southern Christian Church podcast. Each week, we sit down with our teachers to talk through what didn't make it into Sunday's sermon. Thoughts, stories, or questions that got left on the cutting room floor, but still matter. There's no script, just real conversations that allow us to go deeper into last week's sermon.
