COT: Men typically do not get their feelings hurt often, and when they do it’s most likely by someone you love or respect…because you have to care what they think in order for their thoughts to be valuable enough to “hurt” you. Your first response to hurt is likely to be anger or defensive. I challenged myself and the men to try and calmly process the situation and be introspective to see if there is something you need to learn. If someone important to you has something to say you do not like, then the leader must take that information and do something positive with it. It’s hard in the moment to do it, but I think it’s one way we can grow. Gave an example from my life recently.

THE THANG:
Mosey to back of library, Biohack and Mathlete picked teams. We had 2 decks of F3 exercise cards, and a paper to track points. Team with most exercises (points) wins. There were three stages. Stage 1, 4 different places around the Project had to be visited with an excercise to be completed before returning. Stage 2, each member of the teams flips cards and does that excercise until the team flips 30 cards total. Stage 3, each member of the team continues to flip cards and go that excercise, but now adding running up stairs and the doing 2 burpees in between each one. Team Biohack did 82 different excercises and Team Mathlete did 80. To be fair, Team Mathlete had one less person.

We discussed how we continue to encourage, train up and support each other at F3. The Q today demonstrated that as we worked as individuals, but also teams. II Timothy 1:5. I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
