COT: Confidence plays an important role in Mens’ lives. Whether you are working to gain/strengthen it or simply maintain confidence through hardships. I shared that it wook me almost 7 months at F3 before I felt personally confident to Q. Now I regularly do it once a week or more and have complete confidence not that it’s a “good Q” but that I am doing my best and am capable. Be confident!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: read Jeremiah 29:11 and shared that birthdays are a good time to reflect on what’s been accomplished and what you want to still do. Also discussed that we tend to overestimate what we can accomplish is a short time and greatly underestimate what can be accomplished longer. So please look at any hardship through the lens of the last several years vs minutes, hours, or days. It will help you recognize that there’s a process happening and right now you might just be at a hard point.
