Weighing the heart [with Scott]

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.
