Featured Story

Scott shares a touching moment when a long-time listener mentions they “had kids together”—meaning the listener didn’t have children when they started tuning in, but now those kids are heading to college! It was a powerful reminder of how many lives Scott has impacted over the years. As he jokingly told his wife, “I’ve got several hundred thousand kids,” having been there through listeners’ relationship journeys for nearly two decades.
