COT:
Don’t Stay Submerged
– Extraction quote: “You drown not by falling into the river, but by staying submerged in it.”
– This reminds me of the ministry of Jesus
   – He loves people better than anyone
   – He would find someone in their current state — love them right where they’re at — but also love them enough to not allow them to stay there. John 5 is a great example of this: www.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.5.NLT
       – He saw this man by this pool and had compassion and understanding for him because he realized he had been there for a long time.
       – Boom – Jesus loved him right there where he found him – but he also loved him enough to not let him stay there
           – I always wondered if that man went back after he was healed. Did he come back to that pool that he was lame at for years and years and share what Jesus did for him with others. Woo……….
What if we did that? With every man in this COT – whether you’ve been here for 1 workout or for 100 workouts. (“Man, I love you and I see you – but I love you enough to not let you stay where you are. Let’s figure this out together. Let’s journey together.”)

– Takeaways –

  – Who can you call on to help pull you back to the surface?

  – Who can you challenge + encourage to not stay submerged?

  – 47 more weeks to go this year
       – Which is exactly 7,896 hours (if Google is correct)

What are you going to do with that time?

Question : Why do 3100 burpees in a month?
Answers from the PAX :
It is a challenge, and you can do more than you think you can
To improve cardiovascular health and endurance
It is stupid
It is good to do hard stuff together
It is a good example to our children
It is memorable
