What do you do when danger swoops in out of nowhere… literally?While out for a sunset walk, a surprise encounter with a dive-bombing owl left me with more than a funny story — it sparked some deep reflection on instinct, courage, and how spiritual strength needs training just like physical strength.

In this episode, I share:

• ​The owl moment I wasn't ready for
• ​Why James 1:12 hits hard this week
• ​The reality of our "spiritual muscles" — and how often we skip leg day
• ​How to train up for the trials we’re hoping to avoid
• ​A few laughs, a few confessions, and a challenge to step into the fire (not away from it)

👊 Don’t be like me. Get ready, stay ready.

Search & Rescue – Sort Yourself Out. Lock in your Purpose. Lead your Mission.

As first responders, split-second decisions can mean the difference between life and death. But what happens when the questions go beyond the immediate emergency to the deeper meaning of existence? In this episode, we explore the parallels between decision-making in crises and life’s most profound questions.

Is the universe intentional or accidental? How do first responders reconcile the chaos they face with a sense of purpose? And why does answering these existential questions matter for living a healthy, fulfilled life?

Join us as we dive into how binary decision-making, intention, and purpose shape not only our careers but our lives. Whether you’re on the front lines or reflecting on your own path, this episode will challenge you to think deeply—and act decisively.

Key Takeaways:

• Why simplifying decisions is crucial in emergencies and life.
• The importance of reconciling deeper questions for first responders.
• How embracing intention can lead to a life of meaning and purpose.
