ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Postman’s Tails and Trails event is coming up on Saturday, 10/27

COT:
The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. We are in the midst of an election. Early voting is going on right now. Election Day is November 5th. Being a leader, a high impact man should include participation in elections.

Women have voted at higher rates than men in every presidential election since 1980, with the gap between women and men growing slightly larger with each successive election. In 2020 nearly 55% of votes were cast by women.

There are slightly more adult women than men in the U.S. women are also slightly more likely to be registered to vote (70% of women to 68% of men)

I’m not here to tell you how to vote… I am here to strongly urge you to participate in this election. Vote! Prioritize it. Plan for it. Do it. AND THEN encourage other men to do so as well.

AND IF YOU HAVE THE BACKBONE or stomach for it, you could even run for office.

COT:
Faithfulness in Small Things

Verse:
“Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and whoever is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.” – Luke 16:10 (CSB)

In our lives, both physically and spiritually, it’s often the small, everyday actions that build character and lay the foundation for bigger victories. Whether it’s showing up for workouts, making the right choices in relationships, or committing to daily prayer, consistency in the little things makes a man truly strong. It’s through these daily disciplines that we prepare ourselves for greater responsibilities and challenges.

Quote:
“I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.” – Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson’s words remind us that what seems like “luck” or sudden success is often the result of consistent, unseen faithfulness. The small steps we take every day prepare us for when bigger moments of leadership and opportunity arise. Let’s strive to be faithful in the small things, knowing that it is through these that we grow into the leaders we are called to be.
