COT:
We’ve talked a lot about doing hard or uncomfortable things lately. We should do this both in and out of a workout. Barna has several studies that show that 98% of Millennial Christians believe they are called to bear witness about Jesus, 96% believe trusting Jesus is the most important thing anyone can, but then 47% believe it is morally wrong to share your beliefs with someone who disagrees. I think a huge reason that nearly half of Millennial Christians say it’s wrong to evangelize isn’t because they actually believe it is wrong, but because they believe it is difficult. Let’s be willing to do the difficult thing of bearing witness about the One we believe to be true and worthwhile.

Get Sharp!

AO: the-project
Q: Ocho
PAX: Flying Dutchman, Munge, Tuba (Dylan Cox), Tom Tom, Hoorayus, Icey Hot
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
WARMUP:
It was a crisp morning at The Project. Though many PAX were either slumbering or downrange, the faithful and magnificent seven arrived on time and ready to get sharper.

We began with some actual stretching of our legs via Willie Mays Hayes and come Cherry Pickers. We moved to shoulder stretches and Michael Phelps. But we didn’t wait long before we Moseyed to Ocho’s House of Pain (the back porch of the Senior Center).

THE THANG:
The Thang is a Tabata. It’s 40 seconds of exercise followed by 20 seconds of rest.

We used these 9 exercises as our implements of torture:
1. High Knees
2. Squats
3. Plank Jacks
4. Merkins
5. Mountain Climbers
6. Apollo Onos
7. American Hammer
8. Pickle Pointer (Glute/Back Bridge)
9. Hello Dolly

One entire set of all nine exercises takes 9 minutes. We did four sets of the 9.

MARY:
We did not leave any time for Mary.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We noted that Munge has Thursday’s workout.

COT:
For the Word, I drew from Prov 27:17 “As Iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another.”

We need each other if we at the Project are going to get sharper.

We need to do what we can to be a sharpener for each other. There were two primary areas that we challenged:

1. Being mindful and willing to give good MumbleChatter to help other men be encouraged.
2. Signing up for opportunities to lead a Q. Other men need you to lead.
