CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“So Moses said to Joshua, ‘Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.’ So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.” Exodus 17:9-13

Moses is considered one of the greatest men of faith in the Bible but even he needed help. In the next chapter he gets advice from his father-in-law about leading the Israelites to keep him from being worn out. He was judging all the disputes people were having and it was more than he could bear alone. He ends up appointing other men to help with the task while still being the primary leader. Who do we have around us to hold up our arms when they start to fall? Even the strongest man needs other men around him to help him. If you are not in close relationship with two or three other men that have free reign on your life, that can call you out when your wheels get in the ditch, than seek those relationships. It won’t be easy, because it is not natural to most of us to be open with others, but it is worth the effort.

Welcome back Spurt! Great to have you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I threw it back to my first beat down that Hammy led on May 9, 2020. F3 has meant so much to me and I’ve shared so many good times with all these men. I tell everyone how it has helped me become more disciplined in my life when I am attending regularly from my diet to my faith. From a camping trip, to cook outs, and events, I’ve gotten to know quite a few men that have helped to build me up and push me physically but also with my discipline and faith. With the dwindling numbers at the AOs, it’s sad to see that there are men out there that need our help just like I needed F3 over a year ago. I challenge each one of use to speak to one person about F3 each day over the course of the next week and invite them to a workout. Iron can’t sharpen iron if folks aren’t present with us.

MOLESKIN:
Proverbs 27:17

“As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I love old country music. I was recently listening to “You’ve got to stand for something” by Aaron Tippin. As I get older I realize the need for me to stand up in the things that I believe in and not waiver from them. If you died today, would people know what YOU stood for? Put your effort and energy into those things that you stand for daily.

MOLESKIN:
“You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything
You’ve got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what’s right and uphold your family name
You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.”

Aaron Tippin
