Quotes:
"Faith is not expecting things to turn out the way you want, but accepting how they turn out." — Epictetus
"There are times when we have to step into the darkness in faith, confident that God will place solid ground beneath our feet once we do." — Dieter F. Uchtdorf

🎧 Episode Summary:
Scott reframes faith as an action word—accepting reality, facing uncertainty, and moving forward without seeing the whole path. He draws on Epictetus’ wisdom about letting go of control without surrendering responsibility, and Uchtdorf’s call to step into darkness trusting solid ground will appear. He even brings in the unforgettable "leap of faith" scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, reminding us that real leadership often means taking the next step even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.
