The Scott Sauls Podcast

We All Want Justice (Until We Don't)

We all demand justice until it shows up at our own front door. In this episode, Scott Sauls works through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18, the bishop and the silver candlesticks in Les Misérables, and the cross itself, drawing on Fleming Rutledge, Isaiah 53, and Psalm 130. The real question underneath every cry for fairness: are you willing to receive what justice would require of you, or would you rather be rescued by mercy?

The Sickness That Poses as a Virtue

Workaholism is the most socially acceptable addiction in our culture. Nobody stages an intervention for it. Nobody tells you to get help. Instead, we get rewarded with raises, promotions, and applause. In this episode, Scott Sauls draws from his forthcoming book The Mercy King (Zondervan, June 2026) and a clinical study from the University of Bergen to expose what compulsive working actually is: a slow form of self-enslavement. Scott also describes the three chapters of the workaholism story many of us are living inside, and the invitation Jesus offers to anyone who feels tired from their own striving.

Easter Monday: What's Next After Easter?

Easter Monday brings us back to everyday life. The resurrection has happened, but the disciples still have to work, eat, and move forward. This is where most of us live. Not in dramatic moments, but in ordinary days. This episode explores what it means to live in light of the resurrection in real life. Faith is not only about belief, but about how we work, love, and serve in daily rhythms. If Jesus is alive, then nothing we do in love is meaningless. This is where resurrection becomes personal and practical.

Easter Sunday: What Resurrection Means for Your Life

Easter Sunday is the turning point of the Christian story. The resurrection of Jesus is not only about what happens after we die, but about what is already happening now. It signals the beginning of a new kind of life and a restored world. This episode explores the deeper meaning of resurrection and why it changes how we think about fear, suffering, purpose, and hope. If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then nothing is beyond renewal and nothing is without meaning. This is not just future hope. It is present reality.

Silent Saturday: God Goes Quiet - Then What?

Silent Saturday captures the space most of us know well. A space where prayers feel unanswered, clarity is absent, and God seems quiet. The disciples lived this reality without knowing what would come next. This episode explores what it means to remain in that tension. Faith is not always confident or clear. Sometimes it is simply staying present in uncertainty without giving up. If you have ever struggled with waiting, doubt, or the silence of God, this reflection offers a grounded and honest perspective on what it means to trust in the in between.
