    CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
  • Stand. Remember. Fight. Build.
  • These words ring true and are nothing less than a reminder of what we are called to do as HIM.
  • Stand – stand up. Get out of the fart sack. We are not guaranteed breath in our lungs tomorrow. Stand up for yourself, stand up for your family, stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves. In the words of the great country music song You’ve Got To Stand For Something: “You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything.”
  • Remember – Remember where the Lord has met you in your life. Where He CONTINUES to meet you. Remember how far you’ve come. Remember what He’s doing in your life. Don’t forget the ebeneezers in your life.
  • Fight – As men, we’re called to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. Fight for your family, fight for your spirituality, fight for your life. We are in a very real war called life – whether we choose to see it or not. The fighting is done in the heart and mind and soul – and sometimes in the physical realm. In the words of Samwise Gamgee:“It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?

    But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why.

    But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back. Only they didn’t, because they were holding on to something…That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.” 

  • Build: We were created to build as men. Our creator designed us to build communities and strengthen them (mission of F3), build each other up, and build life. Build the kingdom one day at a time. You don’t have to do it alone – take heart in that – LOCK SHIELDS with High Impact Men and Women that will help build and further the kingdom with you.
