Scott's creative journey reveals how a forgotten teenage superhero comic transformed into a powerful ministry tool two decades later. What began as "Spirit Man"—a campy character in spandex—evolved into something profound when his artistic friend Paul reconnected through a youth mentorship program called Portable Vision.
The reimagined comic follows Martin, a 15-year-old who feels insignificant until his spirit begins projecting into the physical world wearing the full armor of God. Through this supernatural storytelling device, Scott illustrates how spiritual warfare isn't just a quiet, meditative practice but a dynamic reality where believers make genuine difference. Most remarkably, these comics now serve practical ministry purposes in prisons and hospitals, reaching people in crisis situations.
Scott's humility shines throughout our conversation as he recounts directing a church play where everything seemingly went wrong—he tripped in front of the audience, missed giving final instructions to his cast, and fumbled the ending. Yet the audience was moved to tears, teaching him a powerful lesson: "I'm just the vessel, He's the potter, I'm the clay." This perspective has defined his creative approach, whether writing comics or crafting "POV Theater" scripts that have been performed over 300 times by online voice actors.
Perhaps most touching is how Scott's creative work opened doors to meaningful relationships, including "adopting" a voice actress going through tremendous hardship. Their connection began through his scripts and blossomed into a father-daughter relationship that's brought healing to both their lives. Scott's story reminds us that creative gifts, when surrendered to purposes beyond ourselves, can impact lives in ways we'd never imagine.
