CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Where is God at work in your life?” a mentor asked me one day. I didn’t know what to say. Oftentimes God is standing in the middle of ourfear, inviting us to run towards it.

Part of being a High Impact Man is rejecting passivity. Oftentimes as men we avoid conflict, shrink back when we are challenged or feel intimidated, or we just check out when we get stressed or feel discouraged. We must choose to reject that natural tendency of passivity and step towards that fear knowing that God will meet us in the middle of it!

Challenge: Where is God inviting you into your fear today?

MOLESKIN:
An excerpt from the book, “Thoughts That Make Your Heart Sing”.

“What Is sin? Sin is trying to get away from God who loves us- it’s wanting to go our own way without him. But the Bible says it’s not like simply wandering off the path and getting lost by mistake. It’s like a horse charging at full speed away from him. We want to get away from God that badly! We are like horses galloping headlong after the things we want.

But God  can stop runaway horses. And lead them gently back.

BOM
A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
Proverbs 22:1

Over the last two and half years we have seen literally hundreds of men come through F3 Knoxville.  No matter whether they’ve stayed or moved on, they have contributed to what it means to be a part of F3, what it means to be a HIM.  When we wear the “F3” it means something.  It symbolizes a pursuit to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously and expect a greater reward.  It is worn by everyday men who are seeking to live extra-ordinary lives as men of impact.  Every day we have an opportunity to grow and help others grow as well.  This is both a gift and a stewardship.  My prayer is that as each of us leave there this morning, we will choose to be men of integrity, courage, humility and love.  That we will not only live up to, but contribute to the reputation this PAX has built over the last two years.

Now let’s get after it!
