So come join us, Bradford and Jason, on the porch to enjoy a good bourbon and cigar to figure it out. Picture this: a cozy porch or patio, the sun setting in the distance, and the perfect cigar in hand. That’s our sweet spot, and we want you there with us. Each episode is like a chat with old friends where we dive into everything from the smooth notes of bourbon to the complexities of life’s biggest questions—jobs, politics, history, music, and even the quirkiest of topics like, “Why did we quit using lead paint?” One of us is a brain surgeon—yes, really—and the other brings a mix of sharp intellect, charisma, and unyielding certainty. We’ll let you guess which is which. We’re tackling it all: from the lives of Presidents to overcoming isolation, battling cancer, navigating divorce, and the wild ride of raising adult kids. So, grab a friend, your favorite cigar, and a drink that makes you smile. Join us on the porch for some real talk and a lot of laughs.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T08:17:23.165860+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 57 - A Pastor Enjoying Bourbon?

It's a question that surprises some people—and it opens the door to a much bigger conversation. In this episode of Two Guys on a Porch, Jason and Bradford welcome pastor, author, and friend Scott Sauls to the porch over a pour of award-winning New Riff Bourbon. What begins as a conversation about bourbon and Christian freedom quickly turns into an honest discussion about friendship, mercy, longing, idolatry, and why the deepest questions of life can never be answered by success alone. Scott also shares insights from his new book, The Mercy King: How the Kindness of Jesus Heals Your Sin, Shame, and Weakness, exploring how God's mercy meets us in our longings, our suffering, and our search for hope. Whether you're a person of faith, someone who has questions about Christianity, or simply enjoy meaningful conversations over a great pour, we think you'll find something worth taking with you. 🥃 Pour a glass.💬 Join the conversation.👍 Like, subscribe, and share with a friend who enjoys thoughtful conversations.
