On this episode of Divine Intervention, we are joined by Scott Mason.
Scott Mason was raised in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. On the surface, he had everything going for him: his mom attended a prestigious law school, while his step-father owned a successful electrical company. For family vacations, they traveled to locations such as London, Amsterdam and Denmark. His mom was strict, but fair, and only wanted the best for her son. After being kicked out of three different high schools over a period of two years, education was not his top priority.
At 19, Scott was introduced to a whole new life, a life that was filled with drugs, alcohol, sex and theft.
Over a 13 year period, Scott became addicted to cocaine, meth, marijuana, alcohol, and thievery. Due to the alcohol and drug use, he decided that his life was out of control and needed to end, and he did try to commit suicide. He would have succeeded if not for a divine intervention that saved his life.
Overall, Scott was committed to 2 psychiatric hospitals, arrested over 25 times (2 times by S.W.A.T.) appeared before 15 judges in 12 courts, tried and convicted of 36 felonies, spent 10 years in 16 prisons where he became a ranking gang member for a powerful prison gang. One night while attending an event in a prison chapel Scott's life was forever changed.
In this episode of Divine Intervention, Scott tells of a time where drugs, alcohol, sex, attempted suicide, crime and prison ruled his life, and how two men - one who hung on a cross for him and the other doing life in prison completely changed his life.
Today, Scott Mason travels the country speaking to high schools, universities, churches, prisons and organizations about his life: the effects of drugs, alcohol, sex, peer pressure, crime and suicide. In 2008, Scott began working in Los Angeles, CA, speaking to entertainment industry professionals through Johnson/Edwards Entertainment. Scott lives in the Columbus, OH area with his wife, Carrie and their 2 daughters.
