COT:
Thank you for those who came out for my VQ. F3 has impacted my life so much in the short time and pushed me to new levels in how I interact with my family, friends, faith and professionally. There is power in being around a group of strong Godly men each morning pushing each other to be better, which in turn makes you want to better those around you in your community.

Having a group of men to hold you accountable and push you is far and few between in the world today. Young men are struggling, you can’t find what F3 has anywhere else. You can’t do it on your own, you need connection daily with other men or something will be missing in your life.

– Seek Godly counsel, rather than worldly
– Remember what is actually important in life – put first things first
– Your kids are always watching- what kind of example are you setting.
– Discipleship- through discipline
– Presence – today is a gift!
– God gives us challenges and turning points in our life for specific reason to grow us closer to him.
– Respond to failure rather than react.

Hebrew’s 12:11- no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later it produces a harvest full of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Strength through others

COT: verse of the day
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

So many things we do on a daily basis can be taken for granted. We get our strength, courage, focus, etc. through Him.
