Our Story

 

My name is Matthew Scott, though most people call me Matt.

I didn’t start Dirt Work Disciples because I had a great business idea. I started it because Jesus Christ

changed my life, and I could no longer ignore that truth.

The man I am today is not the man I used to be. I lived a sinful life. I made more mistakes than I can

count. I walked through seasons of anxiety, depression, and darkness so heavy that I attempted to end

my life three different times. Every attempt failed. Looking back, it’s clear that wasn’t luck — it was

mercy.

I’ve survived two vehicle wrecks that should have taken my life. In one of them, I remember feeling a

hand hold me in the driver’s seat. When everything stopped, my truck was wrapped around a tree —

crushed everywhere except the driver’s seat. Moments like that don’t happen by accident. There is a

reason I’m still here.

I didn’t always live for God, but His presence followed me long before I ever followed Him. Now,

I’ve surrendered fully. I’ve accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior completely and

unconditionally. I’ve always been a hard worker — the kind of man who gets the job done — but I now

understand where that strength came from. It wasn’t me. It was Him.

I’ve learned that God doesn’t do His best work in comfort. He works in the dirt — in the unseen,

humbling places where pride is stripped away and faith is formed. Just as man was created from dust,

disciples are shaped through surrender, obedience, and trust.

Since giving my life to Christ, the storms that once drowned me no longer hold the same power. When

worry rises, I pray — and He answers.

Dirt Work Disciples is not about a job title, toughness, or image. It is about discipleship. The clothing is

simply a vessel — a way to carry the message, start conversations, and point people back to Christ.

I’m not building this to glorify myself. I’m building it to glorify God and to remind anyone who wears it

that the work He’s doing in them — even when it’s painful, slow, or unseen — matters.

From dust.

By grace.

For His glory.
