IN GOD WE TRUST: What a Man Leans On A Six-Week Study on the First Commandment

Every man trusts something: the paycheck, the overtime, the hustle, the ride, the name he's built. Nobody sets out to make those things his god. It happens slowly, until a good thing is sitting in the seat that belongs to God.

In In God We Trust: What a Man Leans On, longshore mechanic, union man, and lay minister S Scott Jr. takes the First Commandment out of the pew and into the garage. Using his own classic cars, his years on the Port of Oakland waterfront, and the King James scriptures, he asks men one plain question: what are you really putting your weight on?

Over six weeks, men work through money, rest, brotherhood, legacy, and surrender:

What's on Your Bumper? Running the diagnostic on what you really trust

Money Green: When money gets promoted from tool to master

Sport Mode: The grind as a god, and learning to downshift

Built in the Shop: Why there's no such thing as a self-made man

Seven Deuce: What you polish versus what you pass down

Keys in His Hand: Who's really on the title

Each chapter includes discussion questions for men's groups, a weekly challenge, and a prayer for the road. The book closes with A Man's Declaration of Trust and leader's notes for churches, ministries, and breakfast groups.

It's written in a blue collar voice for working men, and it works for a man reading alone or for brothers around a table. It's also the companion to the album In God We Trust by S Scott.
