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.

In this episode of the Search & Rescue Podcast, Scott Robb shares powerful behind-the-scenes insights from leading a growing men’s group that’s breaking the mold. Originally designed for first responders, the group has unexpectedly become a lifeline for men in remote or hybrid jobs—men battling isolation, aimlessness, and quiet struggles with purpose.

You’ll hear what’s working, what’s shifting, and why brotherhood, structure, and mission matter more than ever. Whether you're a leader, a father, a man of faith—or just feeling stuck—this episode challenges you to take the next step toward strength and purpose.

✅ Why modern men are silently struggling
✅ The real-world need for purpose-driven leadership
✅ A preview of the Three Core Principles
✅ How to get involved in the mission

🔥 “Whether you’re a firefighter, a father, or a man fighting unseen battles behind a screen—this mission is for you. Step into it.”

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.

Listen now and decide for yourself: Is life an accident or intentional?

Scott discusses the new weekly Men's Group meeting place along with the structure, intent and principles behind in person therapy with untrained professionals.

On this podcast we explore the post 9/11 mantra "If you see something, say something" and what it means to have the courage to truly "see" things as they are.
