On the final episode of Season 2, I talk with Scott James.

Who?

Scott, like me, isn't a celebrity pastor or writer. He's an ordinary person, and he's a great writer.

Scott is a lay elder at the Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama. And, Scott is also a full-time doctor. He's a smart guy with a demanding job and full plate. So how does Scott find time to write? How did he become a writer?

I love Scott's story. I think you will too.
