COT:
We are three-part beings, created with a body, soul, and spirit. Our bodies are designated as the temple of the Holy Spirit, of which we are to be good stewards. Many Christian men are buttoned up in most areas and seem to have their “house” in order—with the exception of their physical bodies. The “body” compartment—labeled physical strength, capability, and fitness—of our segmented lives is often overlooked. Savage warriors aren’t physically flaccid or weak. Protecting and providing for our families, as well as for others who are less capable, requires our commitment and dedication to maintaining optimal physical health and competency.

Not only are we called to cultivate physical resilience, but we are also responsible for maintaining purity and dominion as an act of worship. Purity requires abstinence from the defilement of our bodies in the form of lusts of the flesh. Our role as warriors requires consideration of the spiritual implications attached to our physical sin and immorality. Warriors also understand that obedience and discipline are essential to stability and consistency. Resisting temptation and denying fleshly desires outside of the marriage covenant is a crucial component of the savage warrior’s orders and directives.

“Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭

“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭

Trust is built by Transparency, Empathy, and Consistency.
Transparency – When communication decreases, uncertainty increases. Better to disappoint with a hard truth than to deceive with a lie.
Empathy – Talk less, listen more. Your team will never care about your mission if you don’t care about your team.
Consistency – It’s not what you do occasionally that matters, but what you do consistently.
To earn trust, you have to give trust.
The best way to figure out if you can trust someone is to trust them.
You may be disappointed if you trust too much, but you will always be limited if you don’t trust enough.

Societal trust is as low as it has ever been. People default to distrust. Thus, we must be more intentional about building it. Go first in trust. Be transparent about your weaknesses. And remember that the three most important ingredients for success are consistency, consistency, and consistency.

COT: Eccl 4: 9-10
9 Two are better than one,
    because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
    one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
    and has no one to help them up.
Acts 4:32-33
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all
I personallly had an experience this past Friday whereby I needed help — my daughter had slid off the side of the road in her car, and I was looking on who to call for help. I didn’t check work, I didn’t check other circles, I immediately thought of my F3 brethren. Partly location, but partly because I knew Dartgun and Mailbox for several years, and know them, I’ve sweated with them out in the gloom…and I knew they would help. That’s the church, isn’t it? This is the body…let’s live it out
