Quotes by Scotty McCreery
I keep a lot of my old baseball hats, and if you look in the hats I've had since I started pitching, you'll see 'Philippians 4:13' written on the brim. That's the Scripture that gets me through the day because sometimes you can't do it all by yourself. You can't do it on your own, so you lean on Him.
When you’re out there talking about your faith and what you believe in, you’ll face some backlash. But mostly, I’ve received support.
When you’re the opener, you’re the guy getting the crowd warmed up. But when you’re the headliner, you’re the main dude. People come to see you, and you have to deliver. It’s a cool position to be in.
The minute I get a big head and start acting like the big man on campus, it’s all downhill from there.
One thing I love about Josh Turner is his faith; that’s why I looked up to him so much.
