Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:

If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

We have sweated together, been rained on together, bled together, prayed together, played together and got better together.

I want to thank everyone I have met in F3.  We have opened up our hearts and minds to one another.  Even if we don’t know one another that well, I know you care about me and my family just like I care about you and your family.  We lean on one another when we need it…we laugh, we eat, we drink but we also pray for one another and our families.

F3 is good for our heart and soul.  Let’s keep supporting one another whether we’re the fastest or bringing up the 6 like I often do.  Let’s also encourage others to join us.  Lots of men need us just like I need you.  We have impacted each other and I’m certain there are other men that need to get involved with F3 whether it’s for their physical health, their mental health or their spiritual health!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My 11 year-old son is out of town on a trip and called last night with a headache.  He was letting it get to him and making a mountain out of a mole hill…he was losing perspective on the situation and getting overwhelmed.  Funny thing is, we do this as men all the time.  It’s usually not a headache – usually it’s financial stress, work stress, family pressure, health needs.  We let these things grow in our minds until we think they are too big to handle.  God reminds us in the book of Deuteronomy that he is always with us.

“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you”   Deuteronomy 31:6

This verse is taken from the time of Moses, when he was getting ready to hand the reigns over to Joshua.  Moses was reassuring both Joshua and the Israelites that God would take care of them in battle against their enemies.  We still have that same promise today.  Whatever your circumstance, large or small, God’s answer is still “I will not leave you nor forsake you”.  Don’t make mountains out of mole hills – give them over to the Lord in prayer and watch him do the work on your behalf.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers. 

We are not always in the position of leadership and it is easy to criticize those that are over us. We do it a lot with politicians, bosses, church leaders. Do not fall into the trap of being a scoffer. A scoffer cannot find happiness in anything. Remember who you are and that you serve the Creator of all things. Encourage those around you at work and at home.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Too many times do we ask God to solve our problems for us rather than asking for the strength to battle it on our own. Sometimes the trials we are put through are to make us better men and leaders for our community, and it is our duty to make our way through what is put in front of us. God will always lend us his strength.

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your
God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with
my righteous right hand.
