Senator Tim Scott outlines the importance of faith in every day American life

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., spoke with Fox News Digital about his latest book “One Nation Always Under God,” and talked about why prayer and faith are necessary to achieve “extraordinary accomplishments” in life and in the U.S.

The former presidential candidate has long been outspoken about his Christian faith, his commitment to the church, and his personal mission to spread the word of God to those around him. 

“The ordinary person can have extraordinary accomplishments as they pray about it, and they act consistent with their faith,” Scott told Fox News Digital. “Whether it’s the story of Norman Burlog or Dorothea Dix, these are stories of ordinary individuals who had an extraordinary impact, not only here in America, but around the world because they felt called by the Lord. One nation, always under God.”

The South Carolina native said he works to implement faith into his goals and accomplishments in Congress. His beliefs are openly acknowledged by his colleagues in the House and the Senate, and it was even once rumored he would retire his seat to pursue becoming a pastor, though Scott told Fox he thinks his faith is better served fighting for Americans in Congress. 

As the Senate Banking Committee chairman, he wields a powerful gavel that impacts the American economy, and made clear his wish that faith plays a bigger role in American beliefs about hard work and discourse. 

“I’d love to see the Lord do remarkable things throughout this country, especially for those who feel like they’re on the wrong side of fair,” Scott told Fox. “The Bible teaches us that, paraphrasing of course, the harder you work, the luckier you get, which basically means if you put your shoulder to the grindstone, really good things happen.”
