CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Love as you should.   Don’t just love other Christians, or other guys from F3, or those of the same color, political party, sexual orientation, or college football team.  Jesus came to this earth and spent time with ALL the sinners, not just the ones who had chosen to follow him.

He came and saved all of us, not just his favorites.  Love one another and don’t judge one another.  I live in glass house and I don’t want others throwing rocks at me so I am sure not going to throw rocks at others.

The next time you get angry with someone based on them cutting you off in traffic, posting something on the Book of Faces, their stance on certain issues, or use them as the punch line to one of your jokes.  Remember Jesus died for them just as much as he died for us.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In 2 Timothy, Paul writes a very familiar passage stating that he has fought the good fight and finished the race.  In relating that to modern day F3 – today was the first cold morning of the fall season.  Long sleeves were out in abundance.  My challenge to the PAX was to not let the upcoming cold season be a barrier to getting better each day.  Keep setting the alarm, keep pressing forward, keep showing up.  Champions are made when it’s cold.  When I am older I want to look back on my life and say I gave it all I had…..that means leaning into the hard situations and dealing with sometimes miserable circumstances.  If we keep leaning in and don’t give up, we will also be able to say that we have indeed fought the good fight and finished the race strong.  Don’t let the winter weather turn you into a Fartsacker!!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I drew the following from Jocko Willink

The appropriate response to failure or generally adversity is acceptance of personal responsibility and duty to overcome. I think that this is one of the themes of Judeo-Christian theology and of existentialism. It is also an incredibly pragmatic outlook. If you adopt this, then you will never fall into the trap of learned helplessness or self-victimization. Jocko beautifully demonstrated this with one word, “Good”. Throughout his time as a Navy Seal, his response to adversity was and still is “Good”. I encourage you all to at least consider the above, and to read Jocko Willink’s books as well as his podcast Jocko Podcast.

Jocko discusses responsibility around minute 135
