A community of aspiring saints determined to live in an unconditional and lasting state of joy
Playground

Saints
for striving to be our best God-intended selves
Alive

Who Are We?
Likely the same as you—ordinary people who want to live in a better world. We believe that if we were all striving to become saints, all of our worldly problems would be solved.
Clarification
We’re not talking about those famous canonized big “S” Saints here, but rather everyday little “s” saints. What do everyday saints do? They live the rules of the playground.
Playground Rules
1. Be Good—Live virtuously; do the right things in the right way.
2. Play Nice—Do good; serve others by using your unique talents.
3. Have Fun—Strive to keep getting better every day.
Can you come out to play?
My Journey Back to the Playground
Hi, I’m Scott.
I’ve lived the so-called “good life.” I played college tennis, graduated with a degree in business, and became a CPA and Business Executive. I married my sweetheart, Melanie. We became parents and, eventually, grandparents. I held fancy work titles at a few large organizations and then after 33 years, I retired.
Those adult years were seemingly perfect, yet they lacked joy. When I retired, I pledged to do something more meaningful—and definitely more fun.
Milestone #1: Wrote a book and started The Saint Builder Foundation
The things I enjoyed most in my career were solving problems, researching, and writing. So I looked for a problem to solve. It hit me one day in a “no duh” kind of way that the root cause of all of our worldly problems is sin, and that we can solve them all by striving to be saints—actively working to be our best God-intended selves. Then I wrote a book about it and started The Saint Builder Foundation with a mission of inspiring others to be saints.
Milestone #2: Joy Epiphany (and wrote another book)
A couple of years later, I was walking our dog past an elementary school when the recess bell rang. The kids came running out and shouting with excitement. I realized it had been decades since I had experienced that type of childlike joy. I wanted that feeling back.
But how? This became my personal challenge. I figured it out and wrote a book about that, too.
Milestone #3: An engaged community of striving saints
After years of writing articles and sending them out to subscribers, I wanted more interaction—a way for me to share my research and insights plus the capability for fellow aspiring saints to share their ideas and experiences, and maybe even build friendships.
We launched the Playground Saints Alive community on the Substack app (where truthful content is not censored). Here, we can all progress together to achieve joy.
Brrrriiiinnnngggggg
The bell is ringing. I hope to see you on the playground.
