Rashional Thoughts: Alabama native, former TAB Media correspondent nears two-year mark as editor of Georgia’s Christian Index

How about a shoutout to our Alabama Baptist communications “missionary” to Georgia, Scott Barkley?

Scott is nearing his two-year anniversary as editor of the Georgia Baptist Christian Index. He’s been with the Index for almost 17 years.

Scott grew up as part of Noah Baptist Church, Centre, and is a graduate of Jacksonville State University. He met his wife, Amy (who grew up as part of College Heights Baptist Church, now in Glencoe), at the Baptist Campus Ministries on campus.

Scott and I have been friends since 1998 when he became a correspondent for The Alabama Baptist/TAB Media.

We’ve followed each other’s journeys and cheered each other on along the way. Scott and Amy are actively involved in their four children’s lives, as well as in their current church family, Cartersville (Ga.) First Baptist Church.

Kudos, my friend. We are proud of your dedicated service.
