CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The mission of F3 is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups to invigorate male community leadership. We need to be constantly reminded of our mission so we know who we are and why we’re here. The same is true in your life. What is your mission? Can you articulate your mission clearly?  Probably worth spending some time to craft it, so it rolls off your tongue..

PAX 6
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

In many ways our lives today are better than they could have ever been. We can solve most of our problems quickly and efficiently. However, most of our pains and pleasures as well as the pursuits of these are devoid of meaning. I encourage you all to find ways to insert meaningfulness into your lives whenever you can. Certainly for me, F3 has been one avenue for me. There is a sense of community embracing the suck together. Reach out to old friends and try to encourage them to come out, or try to interact with them in another meaningful way. Live purposefully with intent and even the painful days will be worthwhile.
MOLESKIN:
Insert any personal comments, notes, devotion content, etc.
