though took about four of them to drag you up been here it's not even my best number man six six impressive I was younger yeah weren't we all the first time in I was 16 I think uh that looks like our boy mhm battery to a police officer resisting arrest Sly conduct minor in possession possession of a controlled substance possession of drug paraphernalia why can't kids go to the bowling alley to actually Bowl it looks like the owner was cited for serving alcohol to a minor good any other charges for our esteemed client that's not enough for you counselor I've got his entire criminal history right here if you have a few hours first brush with the law was at 12 stole his mom's car and burnt up the engine and and pursuit be a public defender they said it'll be fun they said mhm that's the same thing they said to social workers so his risk assessment is way above 12 so he'll be staying in the padded cell until his hearing they say he is an irrefutable danger to himself and to others don't suppose it would do any good to request the judge remand him the mom and dad in the inter room don't want him mom and stepdad say he's too much to handle and he says he doesn't want to be bothered with them either so that's why I'm here what about biod Dad Florida not much contact okay let's have and bring him in I ain't got nothing to say relax kid we're on your side you my lawyer Kyle Dey court appointed counsel looks like you've had a busy night drinking drugging fighting you're off to a flying third kid we're here to help you Scott nobody can help me well we can try if you let us I think the judge will reduce the felony to a misdemeanor if we just plead guilty and send me to jail you want to go to jail beat going home from that day on I never backed down from a fight and I never played not guilty I was always like to the police and the courts and just whoever bring it you're not going to break me winning right I guess so and like I said before yet you're the one sitting on this bench with a fancy bracelet and those guys you just showed are heading home to a good meal and not night sleep in your own [Music] bed well I'm just making a pit stop on my way to the pen and by the looks of things you're not too far behind I'll save you a bunk kid you want to plead guilty Scott might as well if I get out out they're just going to find another reason to stick me back in here pleading guilty can have very serious ramifications with your criminal history the judge just plead guilty and let me worry about the rest it's my life okay nobody runs it but me all right I'll enter a guilty play I hope you know what you're in for I've known my whole life what I'm in [Music] for we had a special request for you he also brought me out of a horrible ditch out of the myy clay and set my feet upon a rock and establish my steps Psalm 40:2 amen so what's that supposed to mean when you get stuck in some quick sand God's going to pull you out that's exactly what it means my brother see every one of us are Behind These Bars because we fell into some kind of Quicks sand yeah maybe not the real kind but the spiritual kind and the really sad thing is most of the time it's quick saying we made ourselves you're like using your fist a lot why you want to [Music] go I used to be a fighter too you know just mad at the world blaming it for all my problems it turned out the person I was really fighting was myself took me a long time to go from this to this but once I did it made all the difference why don't you come with us tonight I mean what have you got to lose I should ask what have you got left to lose [Music] glad to see everybody here tonight Jones good to see you glad that everybody's here Steve I'm glad you're able to make it out it's great to see everybody here tonight looking forward to a great time Bible study it's always a blessing to see everybody and I hope that you've got your Bibles with you going take just a moment hello Scott oh hey Warden glad to see you're finally here going have a seat now come on something a little differently does everybody know what this is yeah sure we all do it's a yo-yo its sole purpose is to go up and down and back and forth you know unfortunately it's like many of us we've been in and out of jail back and forth so many times that it just makes you sick just get so tired of it but yet we find ourselves doing the same thing over and over my friends it doesn't have to be that way we don't have have to stay in this orange jumpsuit God has given us his grace he's given us his love he's given us his son and through his son we can transcend These Bars we can overcome the chains we can be free through Jesus Christ the Bible says he that hath the son hath life and he that hath not the son hath not life the Bible says that the thief cometh but for to steal and to kill and to destroy but Jesus said I am come that you might have life and have more abundantly Romans 8:2 says that for the law of the spirit of life is found in Jesus Christ and it overcomes the law of sin my brothers with Jesus you can break these bars you can transcend these chains are you sick and tired of being like a yo-yo being pulled back and forth you can overcome you can cut this string if you want freedom true Freedom that these bars cannot contain then I invite you tonight to come to know the one who can set you free Jesus said that I am the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the father but through me every one of us is guilty of sin and we deserve to pay the price for sin but Jesus has paid the price all you have to do is believe all you have to do is accept it stop fighting stop resisting and Just Surrender and the Lord is my light and my salvation Whom Shall I Fear the Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid when evildoers assail me uttering Slanders against me my adversaries and folds they shall stumble and [Music] fall now Our Father Who Art in Heaven

part of my blade is white clean part all me is history I'm part pardoned by [Music] grace [Music] h [Music] for [Music] [Music] good morning welcome home hey man welcome over life I'm CJ I'm Scott nice to meet yout right through the door sir Proverbs 105 says he who gathers during summer and takes advantage of his opportunities is a son who acts wisely but he who sleeps during Harvest and ignores the moment of opportunity is a son who acts shamefully Jesus is communicating to his disciples the Harvest it's too big for any of us and we need to pray for God to send more workers into the field the word worker here in the Greek is air Gates and it's used 15 times in the New Testament it elevates action over busyness a worker is a disciple who is actively involved in the process of evangelizing the lost or establishing the saved let me clarify that a worker is not someone on full-time staff at a church once you become a Christ follower you become a co-laborer with Christ if a paycheck is what motivates you to minister to people you're doing it for the wrong reason look at Paul in Acts 28 verses 30 and 31 it says Paul lived there for two full years at at his own expense in his own rented lodging and welcomed all who came to him preaching and proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness and boldness unhindered and [Music] unrestraint amen we work on the ones that that you have to have committed you know to your memory so you know anyway but that's how it works so it's a lot work anyway okay hey very nice to meet you thank you thank you so much thank you okay have good hey what's up I'm Dave oh yeah hey I saw you preaching up there my name is uh Scott hey Scott nice to meet you first time here first time yeah hope it didn't put you to sleep sermon a little long but the no no it was it was great good great yeah well thank you all right I'm going to get going come back anytime okay all right hey Scott crazy question are you looking for work um what are you thinking well we're kind of in desperate need around here just for cleanup stacking chairs actually mopping floors believe it or not you know I actually have a lot of experience moing what seriously um um sure I'll I'll take it you have time can I show you around yeah now yeah like 5 10 minutes just show you around the place all right [Music] [Music] okay [Music] [Music] [Music] Scott you already stack in chairs of course pastor Church's only been over for 20 minutes you are a godsend do you know that did that say something wrong um I just I been needing to talk to you about something sounds serious what's up step into my office so what you got well I haven't always been um I used to be a troublemaker addict alcoholic felon I know so what you not worried about what that you going to drink all the communion wine here at the church we use great juice Scott let me ask you question an important one do you believe Christ died on the cross for your sins of course and do you believe the blood of Christ is sufficient to wash your sins [Music] away I'm just worried about what other people think it doesn't matter what other people think what matters is what God thinks if he says you're redeemed you're redeemed but I've done so much it doesn't matter period let me ask you something when you were in lock up uh uh did you meet other prisoners who had come to know Christ yeah we called them the crucifix crew and I guess and there a bunch of quir boys who were only in there for a few parking tickets right when you're inside you don't really talk about what you're locked up for but judging by their sentences they did some pretty bad [Music] things a few of them were lifers yeah worse the crime harder the punishment right something like that so can you imagine any harder punishment than being nailed to a cross until you die no exactly what sin could not be covered by that clean up I tell you I sure wish some more guys in The Joint could understand what Jesus did so that they too could be saved saved you know wait a minute like a like a prison ministry yeah yeah hey Pastor Vanessa hey you what brings you in here Pastor Dave say you needed my help down here at the church thrift store today he did did he yeah well what I actually asked was for him to come help me but that's okay it looks like my husband did the old switcheroo Danielle and I could use some help and it's good to see you just the same Danielle yeah the one you've been too afraid to talk to the past couple of months well I haven't been afraid I just didn't have anything to say uh-huh well that's good because the somehow got in the wrong section and you can bring them to her for relabeling I'm going to bring them I do okay right over there she's over there uhhuh all right you can do it uh hey um Pastor Vanessa wanted me to hand these to you okay um did you say what to do with them uh just like label them or or unlabel them or something okay you can put them right there put them over here yeah okay I'll I cannot believe I just did that I'm so sorry hold on a minute let me let me let me at least you sure it's really I'm I'm such an idiot sorry you're fine okay oh man I'm sorry yeah it's fine okay all right okay I'm Scott by the way I [Music] know [Music] oh that that's awesome Pastor Dave which light did you say needed dat yes sir come here yes sir yeah that's great all right all right thank you so much all right all right we'll see you then that was the prison's SC no nothing bad they approved our request what request I

kind of reminds me of you though why is that well Noah listen to God and fulfill his purpose it's exactly what you've done Scott I'm really proud of you oh it's not me Miss Baza God's doing all the work here yeah well what a work he's doing man how many today 438 in attended sir three walk the aisle that is amazing hey keep going keep up the good work I plan on it as a matter of fact we're reaching out seeing if we can get into the juvenile detention center because maybe maybe if we can get them young they won't ever end up here look if there's anything that I can do for you any way I can help you got to let me know okay I already put in the application we're just waiting to your back of course great [Music] all right thank you thank you hey hey I'm sorry we have a problem everything okay your past has been revoked but you know me I preach you every week I'm sorry to inform you that it's been revoked and you no longer have access to this facility why you have a warrant for your [Music] arrest it's out of Florida some old trouble I had from years ago and it just now popped up yes when I applied for access at the Juvenile Detention I don't understand if you had a warrant for your arrest then why didn't they arrest you Florida won extradite this far okay so if they won't arrest you then why won't they let you back in the prison as long as I have a felony warrant I'm disqualified from entering any Correctional Facility in the state isn't that ironic spent my whole life fighting to stay out of prison and now they won't let me back in you go knock over a liquor store I'm kidding this is serious if Scott isn't allowed back inside then everything he's worked for is gone so what are our options I can either quit the prison ministry allog together or I can go to Florida turn myself yourself in and take care of the warrant oh turn yourself in what happens then it's up to the judge worst case scenario with what I've done looking at the possibility of 20 years okay it's a little overwhelming but we can't forget we serve a big God and we don't stop at overwhelming period so what we do we pray oh gracious Heavenly Father we ask you father for your guidance in this dark hour all right guys so Scott recorded a video message for us you guys ready to see [Music] it hey what's up guys as you no doubt have already heard the reason why I'm not there in person and I'm sending you this video is because I'm on my way to prison something foolish I did years ago is finally caught up with me and rather than run from it like I've done my whole life I've decided this time I want to put it in God's hands I'll see you soon I might be spending the next 20 years behind the wire but if that's what God has in store for me I'm willing to accept it w be upset hey the Apostle Paul did some amazing things while he was incarcerated and we can too okay come on we're going to all be down for the trial and um Pastor Dave wanted me to tell you that um um the church is going to keep paying you while you're away so you don't have to worry about bills piling up and all that I love you I love you [Applause] too [Music] I don't know what's going to happen all I know is God has a plan and it's perfect I spent too many years trying to do things my way now it's time to do things his way you guys pray for me and I'll be praying for all of you God bless thanks again for picking me up Dad ah no [Music] worries still can't believe that's all you brought where I'm going I'm not going to need much I guess you got that right are you a little hungry yeah let's go get something to eat okay you know I almost didn't answer the phone when you called I wouldn't have blame you if you hadn't I did some terrible things to you and Mom and everybody I'm sorry Dad when you called and asked for a ride to prison I thought sure you were drunk again I can see what why you sure you want to do this turn yourself in I am I'm submitting myself to God's will now not my own proud of you son thanks Dad let me buy you a real meal sounds good fill that out and turn it back in hi May to turn myself in for a warrant spelling on the last name uh h i g h b e r g highberger Scott get some back up up here to the front desk clear on my fraud you can do it as a report and [Music] distur Sir stay right there don't move sir turn around hands behind your [Music] back than Mr hyberger I'm Levi Watts your attorney pleasure this is the first I've never been hired by a church on a criminal proceeding before they're a great group of people okay let's get to it I think our best defense is to plead not guilty then ask for a reduced Bond until your trial while we're waiting I can I'm going to plead guilty I'm sorry I'm guilty I did all the things that they're accusing me of so I'm guilty Scott with your record pleading guilty would ensure I know I know I've done I've done a lot of terrible things in my life and now it's time to pay for it well I don't think the church is going to like paying me just to help put you back behind bars we're going to put it in God's hands now well that's good because if you plead guilty it's certainly out of mine I know all right um we'll offer them a year and see if they bite but don't hold your breath it's [Music] okay iburger you're up good luck preacher boy all right court is now in session the honorable Judge William Palmer [Music] presiding please be [Music] seated in the case of the State of Florida versus Scott highberger counselor am I to understand your client has made it known he wishes to enter a plea of guilty he does your honor is he aware of the ramifications entering such a plea he is your honor how refreshing in someone who's actually willing to save the taxpayers little time and money very well what is the state's recommendation your honor considering the extensive criminal history of defendant which includes numerous and violent felonies the state recommends the maximum of 20 years on each count to run consecutively what what does he mean by that to consecutively it means one after another your honor well he'll be in jail for the rest of his life yes C I know before judgment is entered the defense would request that his honor be made aware of several letters and statements that have been made on behalf of the accused they address the changed nature of my client that we pray the court would take into consideration very well as long as we don't turn this into an all day affair thank you your [Music] honor anytime we were dispatched to a call involving Scott highberger we knew we were in for a fight but now I can honestly say he's a changed man now we love seeing him walk into the sheriff's department Scott is one of the few Christians I identified as being serious concerning his walk with God my interactions and Communications with him showed me his love of the Lord was real and I believe him I believe him to be a changed man Scott has become so instrumental to our church I don't know how we ever got along without him or how we will get along without him um Scott is absolutely wonderful been a real role model for my children I don't know what we do without him [Music] judge I got to tell you that Scott growing up he wasn't a good kid and he got progressively worse as the years went by caused me a lot of grief and a loss of sleep there was even a time God forgive me but I prayed that the next Cruiser to pull in the drive was there to tell me Scott's never coming home but now now I'm proud to call him my [Music] son I love you [Music] Scott and Scott has reached thousands of inmates with his prison ministry it's just simply astounding in your honor I have hundreds of letters here on Scott's behalf if it's okay I would love to just read a few thanks to Scott and the prison minister I finally see the opportunity to forgive myself and feel the light and love of Jesus Christ Scott has been a real inspiration to me I admire that he had the strength to walk away from his old life he has the kindness to welcome his old friends into his new life but the courage to stay away from them if they want to drag him down to his old ways here's another one your honor I've been down 13 years when I was 11 years old I was in a graveyard and read these words on a stone where you are I once was where I am you'll soon be I've never forgotten those words I want what Scott has if it had not been for Scott I would still be on the streets getting into trouble Scott showed me a brand new way to live life no more drugs no more crime I'm alive today because of him I am what Scott was and he is what I want to be and that's just a few again from the hundreds of letters that we [Music] received nothing further your [Music] would you please bring me the defendant's criminal history thank you quite the checkered past I have one question for you son since you've been spending all this time preaching Behind Bars telling people to accept responsibility for their actions why have you not taken care of this warrant just be [Music] honest um I was scared your honor I guess I was just hoping that it would go away so that I I wouldn't be held the [Music] cannibal this court will take a short recess while I weigh my decision on [Music] sentencing [Music] [Music] Mr hyberger earlier I asked you why you had not taken care of this outstanding warrant here in the State of Florida your answer plain and simple was that you were afraid you do realize that Jonah felt the same yes he didn't want to go to Nineveh so God sent a giant whale to swallow him up and drag him there I sir am your giant whale I hold in my hand hand a plea agreement you have signed offering to do 14 months in prison the state wants you to do considerably more I cannot in good conscience accept your terms Mr hyberger this court has the authority to either accept or reject any negotiated pleas and I have elected to not accept this one [Music] so if you mean to move forward with your plea I want you to know I am not going to have my hands tied going to ask you one more time do you still wish to enter a guilty plea your honor may I confer with my client of course [Music] rejected our plea agreement you need to know that if you plead guilty you're basically [Music] signing [Music] Mr every page before was a record a [Music] failure I was on on my knees I am guilty your honor very well the court accepts your plea of guilty Saul was a pretty Dreadful human being until he finally saw the light then he did some mighty fine work while he was behind bars I think you have to and can continue to do so I've been on the bench now for a number of years and mostly it's U business as usual your case though is [Music] unique you have made some bad decisions in your life which have led you here in your case however I don't think incarceration is the right answer if you're behind bars you may reach a few people but not nearly as many as you would as a free man God has plans for you son [Music] so go make them [Music] happen this case is dismissed would one of you come up and give this boy a [Music] [Applause] hug you have released me I'm part the only is history I'm [Music] part by grace for the rest of my days I'll sing A [Music] Hallelujah cuz you love me out of this life that I knew [Music] before [Music] before [Music] thank God I'm My sl is white clean I'm the me is history I'm [Music] part pardon by prise oo I'm you have released
