Podcast appearances and mentions of scott sauls

Each year, Woven's leadership team reads through a book in order to challenge us in an area of our personal faith and development. Over the course of the 2024-2025 calendar year, we read through a profound resource called A Gentle Answer. I was honored to have the author, Scott Sauls, sit down for a behind the scenes interview. He joins us from Nashville, TN, where he spends his days mentoring leaders and influencers. He has been married to his wife Patty for about 30 years. They have two adult daughters, Abby married to Jeff and Ellie married to Drew. He and Patti are passionate about helping weary souls discover the abundant mercy of Jesus Christ. Let's dive in with Scott sharing a little of what compelled him to write this book with the tag line “our secret weapon in an age of us against them."Scott Sauls SubstackA Gentle Answer on Amazon IG: @scottsaulsNoteworthy Quotes:“There's no such thing as a fruit of the Spirit that is not born of strength.”“Gentleness is a kind response to unkind behavior…have you ever tried to forgive somebody? What strength did that take? The strength of restraint.”“On the one hand, Jesus gives total relief to the law when it comes to us in the burden of legalism but at the same time Jesus doesn't lower the bar on the law, he raises it…Jesus says, there's good news. That's why I came.” “If I find myself getting triggered by everything, it probably means that I've lost sight of how much I have been forgiven for. Our behavior always mirrors what we're thinking and feeling and believing in our hearts.”“The gospel has this effect when it's working in our lives to humble us and also to lift us up at the same time.” “Soul and character development is slow work, and a platform can be created in a day.” “If we don't build our lives around a character and a humility that flows from Christ now, there's going to be a time in our lives that we wish that we did.” Verses:Proverbs 15:1Jeremiah 17:9 Matthew 18:23-35Romans 2:4Luke 19:1-10Romans 5:8

“…the Bible gives us a grounding for what it means for us to be human, but science can give us a bigger window into the mechanics of how we then apply that meaning on a day-to-day basis,” says psychiatrist and author Dr. Curt Thompson. In this episode, Gabe continues our Science and Faith series with Curt, discussing how God has designed our brains to function and how much this design reveals the unique nature of every human being. Curt draws neurobiological correlations to the biblical narrative, specifically about our human need for relationship in order to flourish. He shares how our lack of relationship and community caused by our cell phone and social media usage is driving the mental health crisis. Tune in to hear what Curt suggests we can do to simplify our lives and foster community, comfort and confidence in ourselves and our children.

What is the call of the Christian in this political moment? What do our politics reveal about us and our world? Join us was we embark on a short series titled "Faith In Public Life." For this series we will explore themes related to politics, Christian imagination, and public life. As we enter into an election year it is our hope that we would engage this season thoughtfully and in light of God's grace for the whole of our lives. In this episode, Joanna Meyer and Ross Chapman interview Micheal Wear, Founder, President, and CEO of the Center for Christianity in Public Life. Micheal is also the author of The Spirit of Our Politics: Spiritual Formation and the Renovation of Public Life.   Resources: The Spirit of Our Politics: Spiritual Formation and the Renovation of Public Life by Michael Wear The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life in God by Dallas Willard Renovation of the Heart: Putting on the Character of Christby Dallas Willard The Politics of Neighborly Love (2016) With a keynote from Justin Giboney (AND Campaign) and a panel discussion featuring Gov. Bill Haslam, Scott Sauls, and Stephanie Summers (Center for Public Justice), this presentation helps to develop a biblical, non-partisan framework for understanding our role as Christian citizens.

Scott Sauls on X: "Fundamentalism is a tone, not a belief system. It can be religious or secular. The tone is as follows:  1. Presuming that you and/or your group have no blind spots and have gotten everything right, and relying on groupthink to confirm your bias. 2. Treating people with contempt…" Chris Davis

On today's program, the International House of Prayer in Kansas City has stripped its founding leader Mike Bickle of his duties pending a formal investigation into allegations of clergy sexual abuse. We'll have details. Also, Bible publishers—are they stewards of God's Word…or profiteers? We take a closer look. Then, later in the program, church switchers share the reasons behind their congregational change. We begin today with news that pastor and author Scott Sauls has resigned from leadership at his Nashville megachurch. FINAL THOUGHTS I do want to mention to our listeners that we are in the most critical time of the year for Christian ministries, including MinistryWatch, when it comes to fundraising. We need to raise about a quarter of our budget, about $110 thousand, before the end of the year, and we need to raise about $40,000 of that this month alone. We have Giving Tuesday coming up the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. That's November 28. And I hope those of you who are listening to this will prayerfully consider making a gift to us on that day. And, of course, MinistryWatch is not alone. Some ministries raise 30 or 40 percent of their budgets during the last two months of the year. If you'd like to help us reach our year-end goal, just go to MinistryWatch.com and hit the donate button at the top of the page. But whether you give to us or not, we hope you will use our database to help you make giving decisions. And that you will give wisely and generously during this season. The producers for today's program are Rich Roszel and Jeff McIntosh.  We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Bob Smietana, Kim Roberts, Jessica Eturralde, Shannon Cuthrell, Jon Here, Aaron Earls, and Christina Darnell. A special thanks to Lifeway Research for contributing material for this week's podcast. Until next time, may God bless you.

In today's episode of the Leader Fluent Podcast, I'm talking about “Four Ways to Handle Criticism in Leadership.” Criticism is an increasing problem in the leadership landscape. It might be a problem, but how we handle it can become a bigger problem.  If you're not already a subscriber, I'd love for you to subscribe to Leader Fluent today on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Android, Pandora, or your favorite podcasting platform. And as always, your RATINGS and REVIEWS are deeply appreciated.  SHOW NOTES: You don't have to be in leadership for long to realize that criticism comes with the territory. People have opinions, and they're not afraid to share them. That was certainly the case for Nehemiah when he began rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. Nehemiah 4:1-3 says, “When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became angry and was greatly incensed. He ridiculed the Jews, and in the presence of his associates and the army of Samaria, he said, ‘What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble—burned as they are?' Tobiah the Ammonite, who was at his side, said, ‘What they are building—even a fox climbing up on it would break down their wall of stones!'” These weren't subtle grumblings under their breath. These were blatant criticisms meant to dissuade Nehemiah and the people of Jerusalem from completing the way. But they didn't Nehemiah or the people of Jerusalem. They doubled down on their efforts until the wall was finally finished in only 52 days.  What about you? What critiques are your critics lobbing onto your leadership and the ministry God has entrusted to you? More importantly, how are you responding? Here are four ways to respond appropriately.  1. Consider the Source Everybody has an opinion, but that doesn't mean you need to give every opinion equal weight.  Sanballat and Tobiah were neither trustworthy nor interested in Nehemiah's success. Quite the opposite. They schemed to harm Nehemiah (6:2), were relentless in their efforts to distract him (6:3-4), told lies to him and about him (6:5-9), and repeatedly tried to intimidate him (6:10-14, 19). Their critiques were born out of fear and intimidation rather than genuine care for Nehemiah and Jerusalem. You will encounter criticism, but when it comes, consider the source. Disagreement doesn't mean disloyalty. We must ask, is the source credible and caring? Are they trustworthy people who genuinely want what's best for you AND for the organization?  If they only want what's best for you, your leadership will become self-serving. And if they only want what's best for the organization, they may be fine bulldozing you in the process. The source needs be both CREDIBLE AND CARING. Being credible gives them permission to speak into the good of the organization. And being caring sets the tone in how they treat you in the process.  2. Look for the Truth There was no truth in the criticisms coming from Sanballat and Tobiah. Again, they lied to and about Nehemiah (6:5-9), and Nehemiah had the discernment to know they were lying. However, that's not always the case. Even in hard criticisms, sometimes there's a kernel of truth.  Several years ago, I heard Carey Nieuwhof interview Scott Sauls, a pastor from Nashville who once worked with author and pastor Tim Keller. In the interview, Scott Sauls shared a powerful response Keller had toward criticism. Sauls said, “In a dozen false things said about him, he would search for a kernel of truth that he could repent of, because every opportunity for repentance is an opportunity to draw closer to Jesus.” What a powerful practice. When Keller found the kernel of truth, he would humbly admit it and pray over it. Notice, Sauls didn't say, “He searched for a kernel of truth he could agree with.” Truth sets us free,

Jon dives into the recent story on Scott Sauls stepping down from his position at Christ Presbyterian Church. Other more woke-leaning preachers such as Matt Chandler, Bruce Ashford, and Adam Greenway also got demoted in some ways, but not because of doctrinal issues. Why do the doctrinal issues matter less than the personal issues?#ScottSauls #ChristPresbyterianChurch #WokePreachersSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sometimes as we see news, social media, shoot, just life being life -- joy feels impossible, at best, and maybe even inconsiderate, at worst. How can I continue on hoping and happy when so much evil and loss and heartbreak is happening around me or to me? Scott Sauls, senior pastor of my church here in Nashville, has faced his share of personal hurts and regrets (the opening words to his latest book are him saying, “You suck,” to himself). He's walked through his own suffering with anxiety and depression as well as pastored his congregation, family, and friends for nearly 3 decades.The good news Scott has to offer? Beautiful People Don't Just Happen – the title of his latest book. His whole message to readers and listeners is, as its subtitle reads, how God redeems regret, hurt, and fear in the making of better humans. The bad stuff that happens is always raw material for God to bring forth the best stuff in us, if we let him.Some key points from Scott: Why gentleness in conflict speaks pretty loudly these days. How shame and regret can bring us into richer relationship with God. The power of beholding and abiding. How to live fully in a tragic place. Part of why I love Scott is he's not afraid to tell the truth about all that sucks in this life. But that honest lament is always followed by joyful defiance, inexhaustible hope, and the reminder that our best days are never behind us; they're always ahead of us.

Reactions to last week's show were strong. The Holy Post crew responds to listener feedback about LGBTQ representation in movies and Al Mohler's defense of conservatism. Former SBC president, Johnny Hunt, was removed from ministry for sexual assault, but last week four ministry colleagues decided it was time to “restore” him. When should disgraced pastors return to ministry, and have congregational and non-denominational churches proven to be incapable of holding toxic leaders accountable? A new Twitter scandal offers more evidence that Christian Nationalism is a mask for racism and misogyny. Then, friend of the podcast Drew Dyck is back to recommend four books covering topics like the formative power of suffering, new medical research about addiction, the best way to read through the Bible, and a novel about Ireland in the 1980s. Plus, Drew's war against fake Christmas trees.

You are not in control. You never have been. You never will be.That fact of life is tough for many of us to swallow. “The cultural air I breathe has trained me to think that life should be more carefree, predictable, and in control than it is,” Scott Sauls writes in his new book, Beautiful People Don't Just Happen: How God Redeems Regret, Hurt, and Fear in the Making of Better Humans, (Zondervan). Scott Sauls is senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tennessee, and author of six books. Scott writes with a kind of vulnerability that is not common for many authors, let alone pastors. He tells us that we can find him in the church basement with the marginal characters Jesus seemed to attract. “He wounds us sometimes,” Scott admits, “but always and only to heal us.” Just look around the room sometime when your church sings “It Is Well.” You'll notice it's those who suffered most who sing the loudest. They have forsaken their need to control for the peace of faith. Scott Sauls joins Collin Hansen on Gospelbound to share what church members would be surprised to learn about their pastors, why deep faith feels like defeat, and how affliction can preach better than a sermon.

Hey hey! Today on the show, I welcome back pastor and author Scott Sauls for a candid conversation about how we can find freedom from regret, hurt, and fear that's part of the human experience.  Listen in as he speaks candidly about his struggles with anxiety, depression, and fear over the years and how those struggles are all important parts of telling the story of what God is up to in his life. Scott also reminds us we live in a broken world, but God's not finished with us yet, and He is in the process of redeeming and renewing everything. Such a comforting reminder for all of us, right?! So good.  We take a deeper dive into how carrying these burdens weigh us down. At the same time, we can find hope in how God is drawn toward us, not appalled by us, in our sin and sorrow. Trust me when I say this is another conversation you don't want to miss! Scott Sauls is senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville. Before this, he served with Tim Keller at New York City's Redeemer Presbyterian Church as a lead and preaching pastor. He is the author of six books, including Beautiful People Don't Just Happen: How God Redeems Regret, Hurt, and Fear in Making Better Humans. In addition to his books, Scott also blogs regularly at scottsauls.com. Listen in to learn more about: Why we tend to absorb the things in life we regret like a sponge, but things like grace tend to quickly leak out. The way challenging experiences build character and a natural path for knowing God better. How we can walk through the hard things with a more positive take on what God can do with those parts of our lives we'd rather avoid. Favorite quotes: ~We easily get appalled, by ourselves. It traces back to the Garden of Eden, we were made for perfection and so there's this alien experience we have to our original nature and original design. Whenever we fall short of the mark there is something within us that is triggered toward guilt and shame. ~There is no punitive motivation that God has towards his children. His motive towards sinners and sinners is surgical not punitive. God's heart toward his kids is not punitive but redemptive, it's a healing motive. ~Our emotions are just as much a God given part of us that's meant to complete our humanity and expression.  ~Owning what's wrong in us is the first step to becoming the best version of ourselves. ~It's like we have become disintegrated people because we have become performative.  ~The lives that we are living now are just prologues because life in the fallen world is all prologue to the fullness of Life that still awaits those who are anchored into the finished work of Jesus Christ.  In this episode I answered this question: Can you give me your best tip on how to get myself organized?

Author and pastor Scott Sauls knows what it's like to be his own worst critic. “Even if we're being unfairly critiqued, there's usually at least a kernel of truth in there somewhere that gets under our skin and bothers us,” Sauls says on this episode of The Russell Moore Show. Those kernels of truth can lead to guilt and shame. And, as Sauls says, “We have done things that render us guilty.” But we also have a victorious Savior who “accomplished a satisfactory victory” for us. Sauls and Moore talk about regrets, grace, seasons of suffering, and clinging to the gospel. They discuss the range of the human experience—everything from freedom and joy to guilt, shame, anxiety, and depression—and the God who draws near to us. Sauls' new book is called Beautiful People Don't Just Happen: How God Redeems Regret, Hurt, and Fear in the Making of Better Humans. Sauls and Moore reference “The Catastrophe of Success” by Tennessee Williams, Moore's recent episode with Arthur Brooks, and “Learning in War-time” by C. S. Lewis.Quotations mentioned in this episode include:“People may spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is leaning against the wrong wall.” - Allen Raine, though often attributed to Thomas Merton “[Envy] consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. … If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.” – Bertrand Russell “Preach the gospel to yourself.” – concept by Martin Luther, quote by Jerry Bridges “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” – Roy and Jane Nichols in Death: The Final Stage of Growth, compiled by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross “The Russell Moore Show” is a production of Christianity Today Chief Creative Officer: Erik Petrik Executive Producer and Host: Russell Moore Director of Podcasts: Mike Cosper Production Assistance: CoreMedia Coordinator: Beth Grabenkort Producer and Audio Mixing: Kevin Duthu Associate Producer: Abby Perry Theme Song: “Dusty Delta Day” by Lennon Hutton Learn more about your ad choices.

When Jesus set about gathering His disciples, He chose people from very different backgrounds. His disciples included fishermen, a tax collector, perhaps one of royal blood, and a revolutionary. Not only did they find a working commonality, they were united and transformed through their relationship with Jesus. After Jesus' ascension, this same rag-tag twelve took the good news that Jesus taught to the farthest reaches of the world. Today's guests, like Jesus' disciples, have come from very different backgrounds and taken Jesus' love and message to very different destinations.
