CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This exercise was a little bit like my story. I drifted into F3 completely by accident. Since then, I’ve had an amazing group of guys who have build me up in different ways and even helped me through a deep struggle with pornography. The circle was the first time I made that struggle public and it was the first time I really began to heal. Not saying anyone needs to, but you all should know that if ever you do need someone to help you with an internal struggle, we are all out here wandering in the wilderness with you, and whether you need help or your giving the help, reach out to one another.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayers for thos facing loss in our group, and praise for the answers to prayers in our group!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Read this quote from the opening to the album “Worthy” by Beautiful Eulogy.

We will not lose heart
Even though this present age will waste away
We will surely suffer, but it’s a slight momentary trouble
The deconstruction is painful, but the transformation is beautiful
When we the children of God are crushed under the heavy affliction of this world, be reminded that it’s weightless in comparison to the eternal measure of God’s glory
We have lost our eyes for the unseen and have swallowed the false hope of the visible
We must realize the empty grave and revel in the certainty of His resurrection with assurance of renewal, considering it worthy to suffer for the faith
So we will worship while we wait


MOLESKIN:
Good work, men!
