In his free time you might find Scott relaxing with people or a book, strumming his Gibson J-45, hiking, eating Edley’s BBQ, enjoying live music, or cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and North Carolina Tar Heels. Currently, Scott is working on his first book project with Tyndale House Publishers called Jesus Outside the Lines: A Way Forward For Those Who Are Tired Of Taking Sides, scheduled to release in April, 2015.
