Dr. Chip Dodd
“Scott is a man of outstanding character, good at home, married successfully with a wife and children who love, trust, and feel protected by him. Scott is caring towards others, and a lover of Jesus.”
Ann Voskamp
“Scott is a preeminent voice for our times. Very few pastors have more spiritually formed our family than his. And very few voices could change the conversation around our office watering holes, our family dinner tables, and across our aisles and fences like his.”
Tim Keller
“When we are reconciled to Jesus knowing that he is our friend, we move out into the world in a new way. Scott so ably shows that spiritual practice is, to a great degree, an exercise in friendship.”
Sissy Goff and David Thomas
“We are grateful for a seasoned, graceful, and humble guide like Scott Sauls.”
Sandra McCracken
“Scott’s own vulnerability gives us something emotionally honest, confessional, and full of grace.”
Gov. Bill Haslam
“Scott pulled together a group of us who were all in leadership positions. That group became one of my primary foundations and support during my time in office and the eight of us experienced a lot of life’s joys and heartaches together."
Annie F. Downs
“Wanting to be culture shapers requires effort and focus and Scott pastors others toward that end. I'm grateful for Scott's voice in my life and in our culture."
Darren Whitehead

He also has a unique talent for identifying and nurturing the gifts of others. Scott is a leader that other leaders want to follow.”
Jon Tyson
“With theological insight, cultural astuteness, and the compassionate tone of Jesus, Scott paints a way for the church to have influence without coercion, and put the brilliance of Jesus on display in a pluralistic world.”
Tom Douglas
“Scott is my friend. He will challenge you, make you mad and happy and cry and make you laugh. Art is supposed to make you feel something and glorify God all at the same time. I believe Scott accomplishes that!”
Joni Eareckson Tada
“My friend Scott Sauls knows a lot about leading people up and out of miry pits. It's because he has been in that pit."

Steven Garber
“Scott invites us all into an honest conversation about the things that matter most. But he does so as a friend, offering thoughtful, rich, pastoral counsel with love and respect, with listening and friendship. In our polarizing world, Scott’s vision is a gift for those who care for our common good.”
Jimmy Dodd
“Scott is a man of deep integrity. Scott has done deep work through intensive counseling and mentoring to go where few leaders have the courage to go. What you hear in his teaching and read in his books is a byproduct of this, and is also very much who he is in real life.”
