“Thankfully, God has a plan.” This favorite phrase of Maggie Scott, wife of former evangelical pastor Tom Scott, has seen the Utah couple through a most unexpected spiritual journey.
Tom and Maggie haven’t always lived in Utah and they haven’t always been Mormons. Tom grew up in Rock Chapel, Ga., just outside of Atlanta. The Sundays of his youth were spent in the Methodist church. As a teen he started dating a girl who belonged to the local Church of the Nazarene and began attending services with her. Something resonated within him at the Nazarene church. He felt at home and was soon baptized a member.
