Dr. Scott and Leah Silverii
Dr. Scott and Leah Silverii, along with their seven children and a French bulldog named Bacon, form a family devoted to faith and service. Scott, a decorated law enforcement veteran of 26 years, experienced a profound calling from God that led him to put down his badge and pick up God’s cross: His new mission is setting men free through Christ.
This divine directive prompted his immediate retirement, leaving behind a career that included twelve years of undercover work, sixteen years in SWAT, and five years as chief of police. Scott acknowledges that the thrill of leading people to Christ surpasses the excitement of all his law enforcement experiences combined.
Leah, a native Texan and TCU graduate, dedicated ten years to teaching before embarking on a successful career as a writer and bestselling author. Her passion for homemaking and nurturing others serves as the driving force behind her ministry calling.
In 2016, Scott, armed with a Master of Public Administration, a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology, and post-doctoral seminary studies from The King’s University, answered God’s call to ministry. His grassroots efforts blossomed into the growth of Five Stones Church in Midlothian, Texas, where he currently serves as senior pastor.
Scott continues to disciple men and speak at other churches and conferences guided by his unwavering faith and his life verse: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14).

Mr Silverii —
My name is Blake Walker.
I never knew Mr Jacobs — though after reading your article, I wish I had — but I knew his wife. She was my teacher in 7th Grade and left quite a mark on me. Is it possible that you could provide me with any contact information? Or might I relay a simple ‘thank you’ to her through you.
She once prompted me — backed up with a riveting stare — to ask an intelligent question of a visitor we had in class one day. She meant business. I did (or tried to) ask a question that day. And I’ve strived my whole life to always ask ‘intelligent questions’, even when there’s been a cost. (Not everyone wants to hear them.) I guess it was a ‘right time, right place’ kind of thing, but that lesson stuck.
It was also — most definitely — a ‘right teacher’ kind of thing.
Thanks.
Blake Walker
Hi Blake,
I will definitely pass along your message.
Teachers are truly special, teachers who impact our entire life are amazing.
Thank you,
Scott
Hi Scott – I look forward & enjoy reading your inspirational blogs. Thank you kindly !

Hi, Scott. I found your sight by clicking on a twitter link tweeted by an author friend. I was curious because of your twitter name. You see, I am a novelist, but I am also a parent of a Nicholls State student. In fact, the last time my husband and I visited her (we are from TX), we were sitting in the Weeping Willow cafe and two cops walked in for lunch. Everyone in the place greeted them, addressing one as “chief.” But what impressed us most was that these two men bowed their heads and prayed before eating. I take it one of those men was you! As we come for graduation in December, we will be sad to say goodbye to the town that has meant so much to our daughter. Thank you for making it a safe place for her to live and learn. And thank you for being a man of public faith and integrity. God has obviously given you great favor and success. Bless you!
Hi Anne,
I’m at a rare loss for words. “Thank you” seems too minimal for expressing my gratitude for taking your time to send this note. I do frequent Weeping Willow, and do answer to Chief, and we absolutely bow before meals and fellowship with each other no matter the place.
It just never occurred anyone may have noticed. Thibodaux is an amazing city, and I often share that God led me to leave a great law enforcement agency to serve the people of this city. He has blessed this administration, and I’m fortunate to be part of that grace.
If your family has a moment while in town, it would be a pleasure to meet you guys and a fellow Believer & author. If your daughter needs anything at all until that time, you have direct connect with me.
You cannot know the timeliness of your blessing.
Scott
Thank you for visiting my blog. Looking forward to reading your posts! Grace and peace to you!
Awesome & appreciate the kind blessings
In these days that we are living in it’s surely nice to know that their are some God fearing police officers. By you being born again you make a great witness to the other officers. I pray that those who are under your leadership will become born again as well.
I am sure you have those moments especially in your line of work that it can be odd, not different but odd. Reading your page about who you are I am reminded of Romans 13: 1-7 where it talks about “Submission To Human Authority In the Land”
God bless and I look forward to reading more of your postings. May God’s blessings be upon you and your family, and may His protection always be around you.
Excellent article.
I am a retired LEO and every thing I see on this web site is fact based and hits at the heart of real policing. I thank you for your service and for this web site. I hope every LEO and any one thinking of this profession spend some time here and get the real story and the real way to police.
Thank you
Thanks William and God bless you for having served.
Very good blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There
are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
Any ideas? Thank you!
