Scott Dove, one of First Pres’ commissioned lay pastors and a deacon, recently shared his faith story on the podcast “What Are We Even Doing Here?” with Daryl Updike. “From being bullied as a quiet kid, to now preaching the Word of God in a few different churches, I was very encouraged to hear what God has done and continues to do in Scott’s life,” Updike said.

In the podcast, Scott shares how he was able to forgive his middle- and high-school bullies and how God redeemed that painful period of his life.
