Scott LeRette recently shared with ChurchLeaders how amazing it is that his story is enshrined in a film that can help people now and in the future.

“When I’m 80, maybe I can go back and, you know, read my story and just think about how silly something was or something will make me grin,” he said.

“It’s pretty surreal” that God is using LeRette’s story for his purposes, LeRette shared.

“I think ‘perseverance’ can be kind of a code word for faith. You know, my favorite Scripture is 2 Timothy 4:7,” he said. “Its all about keeping the faith, staying the course, and finishing the race. It’s so appropriate for my story.”
