"I was from Scotland, my dad was in ministry. I’d given my life to the Lord when I was five. Came to America when I was 10. Uh, but the challenges of a new culture and a number of other things, I-I walked away from the Lord for a long time."Scott then revealed how he returned to his hometown Hagerstown, Maryland (where his mom lived), to find out more about his faith in God. The reporter said he attended a small church in Maryland. He continued:
"And – but I always say this. I sat in the – way in the back where the Lord couldn’t see us, but in the middle of this church service, someone had a ‘word’."Scott concluded his statement on how he regained his faith by saying:
"There were two people there that the Lord was calling and said, you know, ‘Come back to me. I’ll take your cares, your worries. Put them on me.'"The TV personality had made waves in radio broadcasts as well as The Scott Ross Show got broadcasted on 200 different stations.

"You know, the Big ‘C’ is not cancer. It’s Christ. The Big ‘C’ is not cancer, it’s the cross. The Big ‘C’ is Calvary. The Big C’s commitment, it’s covenant. So, it’s not cancer."He stressed the importance of faith and trust in times of distress:
"When the Lord’s talking to Jeremiah and he says, ‘I took you into a desert,’ uh look at all the times that God was quiet, he didn’t answer. That’s where trust comes in. That’s where faith comes in. And you have to hold to that. You must."The Scottish reporter was known for his ability to speak candidly with famous personalities and make them feel at ease during interviews.
