Chief Scott Young, a U.S. Marine veteran, retired after faithfully serving 20 years as police chief in Stafford, New Hampshire. Retirement didn’t last long, though. Chief Young raised the bar with his example when, at the request of the Barrington, NH Police Department, he returned to law enforcement as a patrolman to help train and mentor new and ranking police officers,
Chief Young comes from a lineage of police officers, starting with his grandfather and uncles. Now he, two of his sons, and his brother continue their family story of service to our nation and their communities. His family history also includes generations of service as Marines and firefighters, with several continuing this tradition. What a gift Chief Scott Young and his family are!
But as much as Chief Young loves serving in law enforcement, he shares there’s something even more important to him.
What a privilege to share police officer Chief Young’s insights and wisdom regarding law enforcement, our nation, family, community, and more in this video interview. (Downloadable audio option included.) Enjoy!

“God, please don’t take Grandma from me yet,” I frequently prayed. Though I’d moved to the USA and Grandma remained in Jamaica, the world felt a little less scary and lonely because she was in it. “But when you take her home, Lord, I promise I’ll give her eulogy and tell those in attendance about … Continue reading “A Time to Disobey” - Grit & Grace: Michael Duncan ~ Author, Pastor, Master of the One-Line Sermon Returns
Feast on a banquet of truth from one who greets life’s challenges with grit & grace. Michael Duncan: author, pastor, master of the one-line sermon returns as my guest interviewee. Undeterred by threats, he shares wit, wisdom, and some wild stories including the unlikely setting in which Jesus saved him. - The Futile Pursuit of Worry
Jesus told us not to worry because he knew we would and thus need this counsel. God gave us His Word not for us to use it to bludgeon ourselves or each other, but to instruct, encourage, correct, redirect our missteps, and draw us to Himself. - Unconscionable Delay
Delay. Sometimes it’s divinely ordained, but most times it’s due to our negligence or obstinance. There are sins of commission (those we do) and sins of omission (when we fail to do as we ought). - Saving the Sabbath
I hate being hurried but struggle to be still. “The Sabbath feels more like a day of stress than a day of rest,” I’ve said. “How do you cease from work, as God says in His Word, when you’re a woman, especially when you have young children?

Tattoo It On Your Heart 
Officer Young shared a great comment in the interview. He said he couldn’t believe how a police officer could do what they without being a man or woman of faith. After letting that sink in for a few minutes, I think that applies to every maninstream occupation. A public school teacher, a factory worker, a banker, and a checkout clerk all have issues in their jobs. True some have more life threatening careers, but God designed society to function best with a biblical thought process. Any time we divert from a Christ-centered society, it breaks down.
Great interview with Officer Scott!
