Scott Heare currently serves as the San Antonio Initiative’s Chief Visionary Officer for the Global Human Flourishing Study, a joint research initiative led by Harvard University and Gallup. As his work expands beyond the church into corporate, academic, and governmental settings, Scott offers a rare combination of spiritual insight and evidence-based practice. His focus lies in promoting practices—like forgiveness, reflection, and relational repair—that contribute to public well-being.

Scott is the Pastor of Sacred Storytelling at Sunset Ridge Church of Christ in San Antonio, Texas, as part of National Flourishing in the Church. With more than two decades of pastoral experience, Scott has devoted his life to the intersection of faith, narrative, and community healing. Through his unique role, he helps individuals and institutions make meaning of their lives by reclaiming story as a sacred tool for transformation.

Whether preaching, facilitating dialogue, or advising cross-sector leaders, Scott leads with warmth, humility, and curiosity. He believes storytelling is not only how we understand the world, but how we begin to heal it.

In every space he enters—from pulpits to policy rooms—Scott invites people to tell the truth of their experience and imagine more just, connected, and flourishing futures.
