COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
All tagged, also one FNG (Hype)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Everybody point North with me (I point south). Everyone pointed south at first and then got confused and tried to figure out where north was by looking around.

What just happened? You all looked for evidence of where north was. At first you looked at me, but evidence of the sun contradicted my account.

When you are looking for truth, you don’t close your eyes and try to feel it out. You look for evidence, but you also have to test that evidence with other sources of truth.

My main source of truth is Jesus who made the claim, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”.

I challenge you all to test that truth claim and see how it holds up. And see how it changes the way you live.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Anniversary stuff coming up soon!

1 Peter 3:15 be prepared to give a defense for the hope within you, but do so in gentleness and respect.
Our first tendency is to repay evil for evil, but we have to take time to prepare ourselves to not react that way. Seek wisdom in the Word, in works of wisdom, and in people who are wise, and train yourself to act and react differently.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A lot of times we are going to fast to see the good in the things we are going through or studying. We all need to take the time to slow down and really dig deep to find the wisdom that is there for us to find in ever situation, whether that’s in the things we are reading or in the people we are meeting or just in the situation we are going through.

Take the time to slow down and really see/learn what wisdom is here to be had.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
With Thanksgiving coming up, thinking about being thankful. A big part of that is remembering the things God has done to bring us to where we are now. Remembering how God has used good and bad times to make us stronger and draw us closer to Him. Take some time today to reflect on those times and see how God used them to make you better and lean on Him more.

Fight!

Fight for your fitness. Check. Well done men.

Fight for your fellowship. Find ways to put in the work at home or in other relationships to make it work. Do the hard things. For me, not letting my wife do all the cleaning around the house.

Fight for your faith. Make time for yourself to grow in your faith. Do the hard things. Knowing you can’t do it on your own, lean on God for help and lean on your fellowship for help.

Love is our greatest weapon in these fights.
