CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Encouraged the guys to consider leading sometime. I spent nearly 2 years with F3 before leading and wish I had done it much sooner. I love leading a workout, but I love it even more when someone leads for the first time! One of F3’s main focuses is building up leaders in the community, starting with leadership in the workouts. If you’ve been to an F3 workout chances are you’re qualified to lead one!

Lord, I put my life in your hand. I trust in you, my God. – PSALM 25:1-2
MOLESKIN:
What is the power of hope?
Hope is the belief that circumstances will get better. It’s not a wish for things to get better— it’s the actual belief, the knowledge that things will get better, no matter how big or small.
Let’s be the change we want: in our families, our communities, our country, and in our world. Let’s put the focus on God and trust that he will continue to guide us.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Q talked about the importance of discipline maintaining proper form during exercises, something JUCO is going to emphasize from now on.  This discipline transitions into everyday life, to include our walk with Christ. Q emphasized believers need to be bold in sharing their faith, something that can be costly at times – even at the cost of close relationships with family in the Q’s case.  Most people are one relationship away from hope that is found in Jesus.  Do you love him? Do you talk about him with others? God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. BE BOLD.
MOLESKIN:
The PAX worked hard and noticed a difference in the amount of reps they could complete when they paid attention to form.  Great lesson and one we will continue to hold each other accountable on.  If you are cheating at the workouts, you are likely cheating in other areas of your life.  Let’s Go!
