Episode Synopsis


In part two of our powerful and wide-ranging conversation with Scott, we explore how faith in Jesus shapes leadership, the realities of military life, lessons from parenthood, and what it means to have moral courage in the face of adversity. We also hear what it's like to fly helicopters on peacekeeping missions and in war zones from Bougainville and East Timor to Afghanistan and Iraq. Scott's story is one of conviction, sacrifice, and spiritual grounding.📌 Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction: Faith and Leadership02:10 – Napoleon’s Quote on Jesus03:25 – How Faith Shaped Army Leadership11:40 – Becoming a Military Pilot: Training & Deployment14:21 – Helicopter Combat Training Journey17:43 – Deployment: Iraq and Other Locations21:28 – Challenges of the Military Lifestyle24:47 – The Strain on Relationships and Marriage28:31 – Lessons from Parenthood and God’s Love32:45 – Perceptions of Military Members36:54 – Moral vs Physical Courage (General Slim Quote)39:00 – Combat Experience: Terror and Moral Choices43:10 – Anecdote: The Convoy Escort Mission43:43 – Camaraderie and Protection in Combat44:13 – Understanding Danger and Perspective53:56 – Moral Conviction in Daily Life55:49 – Keeping Records and Defending Truth57:12 – Remembering Sacrifice and Standing Against Evil01:05:06 – Church Community and Connection01:06:26 – Friendship and Mission at Kronala01:09:22 – Reflection: Staying Grounded in Faith🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more conversations that explore life, faith, and leadership.
