The Calling: Meet Scott Parkison

Meet Scott Parkison – the Senior Pastor of Steven Street Baptist in Cookeville.

All across the Upper Cumberland, there are everyday people who are lead to do more than everyday things.

As a young man, Scott Parkison was a high school dropout who found himself in with the wrong crowds and down on hard times with a feeling that his life was going nowhere. On January 29, 1991, God came to him when he was at his lowest while he was in jail, and he called to Jesus to save him. He immediately requested a bible, and managed to read it from cover to cover in just three and a half weeks. From that day on, Scott’s life was radically changed with his newfound calling in life. He joins Denna Hornboy to share his life story, and the events that led him to follow his calling where he is now Senior Pastor of Steven Street Baptist in Cookeville.
