THA-THANG:
Quarter-Murph Repeats
One traditional Memorial Day work out is a “Murph”. Named after Lt. Michael Murphy who gave his life valiantly during a recon mission in Afghanistan in 2005. A full murph is: 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 merkins, 300 air squats, 1 mile run. Normally done for time. (Usually w/ a weighted vest – we did not do vests)

Today, we divided a murph by 4, then broke down the sets into manageable bites. We went one quarter-murph at a time and worked to see how close we could get to a full murph.

  • 400 M run from the playground around the building and back.
  • 5 sets of: 5 pull ups, 10 merkins, 15 air squats
  • 400 M run

That’s one quarter-murph. Then start over at the top (so two runs in a row in between exercises) and do as many quarter-murphs as you can in our time.

We had several bros who knocked out a full murph! IM-pressive.

MARY:
None needed.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Did that.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
James, the half-brother of Jesus and leader of the early church in Jerusalem wrote a little epistle. In the very first chapter, he drops the line:

James 1:2–5 (ESV) — 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

In the same way a hard workout can absolutely crush you, but leads to growth in strength and endurance, trials in our lives can have the effect of growing us in Christlikeness. No one wants trials. No one thinks they’re good when they’re happening. But we have a promise that there is a plan behind it all that will end with our good and will even have a ‘perfecting’ effect on us.

Charles Spurgeon said, “I’ve learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages.”

We can learn to kiss the wave as we lean into our challenges knowing that we may not need to be rescued from them, but only seen through them. So lean in and know that God is doing more than you can see through your trials!

MOLESKIN:
Enjoyed leading this one. It was largely self-directed.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Acts 20:24 reads, ““But I consider my life of no value to myself; my purpose is to finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.”

So many times we strive to “find God’s will” which is good, but we miss the point of doing His purpose now…no matter how hard of a grind that may be. God put us where we are now for a reason. Do the hard things and fulfill your purpose in the here and now.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Message:
The warrior ethos (AKA Jedi Training) consist of 13 pillars: commitment, honor, respect, prepared, faithful, fighter, hungry, humble, lover, teachable, firestarter, truthful, and generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse.

Lover: the 9th pillar
The verse for this pillar is Mark 12:30-31

“And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’”
“The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.””
Mark 12: 30-31

Be a lover of Christ. LEAD WITH LOVE ❤️

I spoke about losing my cool with someone who honked at me during my run yesterday. I was super embarassed after the fact. I was not a High Impact Man… I was a clown and felt like it.

It’s not about how hard we fall, it’s about how we pick ourselves back up. I’m thankful we have a forgiving God. I hope the gentleman that honked at me, knows I was out of character, and that I actually love him (even though my actions did not show it).
