Scott Smilie: Becoming a True Renaissance Man

Hear two “PK’s” from the Herbert W. Armstrong era remember what it was like growing up, children of full-time Worldwide Church Of God pastors.

Jesse:
“What I loved most about the chance to interview Scott Smilie was the evidence of excellence in his every step, every word. Without knowing, I would surmise his father, and his father’s father were also great men. Scott is, as he says he is, one of the last true renaissance men. Student of everything, expert of much and simply a stellar example of a life, well-lived.”
