About this listen

Regret has a way of settling into the soul, sometimes quietly and sometimes with relentless intensity. As a new year begins, many people feel the weight of unfinished goals, relational wounds, and the long list of “should-haves.” Instead of energy and hope, the season can begin with heaviness.

In this RESET episode, Scott Sauls reflects on Romans 7 and 8, showing how the apostle Paul names human inconsistency with striking honesty while refusing to let failure have the last word. Drawing from Brennan Manning’s lifelong journey with grace and Brené Brown’s distinction between guilt and shame, Scott explores how the gospel frees us from condemnation and rewrites our story with mercy, belonging, and hope.
