ANNOUNCEMENTS: Shovel Flag handoff Friday and Monday.
COT: “For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.” 2 Cor: 2: 4
This verse shows me communication and expressing our heart is important!
Guys’s don’t talk like that very often; but we should.
Rick Dunn shared: men are most vulnerable to spiritual defeat when men are least vulnerable with each other
That’s Paul being vulnerable and communicating and that is my challenge to you this morning.
For starters, just reach out and be in touch with 3 guys today
1) A f3 brother
2) A friend from growing up – High School Friend or sibling or cousin
3) Someone from Church – if you don’t have their number, ask them or ask someone for their number.
And if you don’t to it today – twice a many tomorrow and 3x on Friday. I’m kidding, sorta, but make it a common practice.
People want to hear from you. I want to hear from you.
Speaking of – I want to hear what you have to say, so pick up a Q!

Jesus shared His heart and gave us a whole book of his word because communication matters
What do you say? Anything. Tell them what’s going on, tell them hi, ask for prayer or prayer requests
Ask to borrow a tool or a piece of advice; thank them for ANYTHING – being a part of your life, being funny, being smart. Or like Paul, tell them of the abundant love you have for them that comes from Jesus, but that’s probably not where you start.

Great to have Curveball, La-z-boy, Fast-n-easy and Ghostflag join us. That last guy is quiet. Hope to see you all again soon and often.

All the Smells

MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Shovelflag handoff Sept 1 and 5
COT: Today, I need to talk to you about a serious topic, I need to talk to you about how you smell. Specifically, how you smell after being here.
Does being out here change the way you smell to God?
Before I get into that question, 3 things about odors
1) There is no denying it’s real, but you can’t see it.
Remind us there are senses we have that we don’t use all the time, but show us a reality we often miss. Don’t miss the fact that there are realities we can’t see. Use the spiritual sense God gave you to experience Him and the spiritual realm.
2) Smells invoke emotional responses
Nose, Absorb into blood> Olfactory Bulb: Sort smells> Olfactory Cortex: Identify smell. It helps you recognize if you’re smelling a flower, Butterknife, or unwashed gloves.> Hippocampus: This is a really important area for memory. It’s like a librarian in your brain that helps store and organize memories. When you smell something, the hippocampus can help connect that smell to past experiences or memories, making smells a powerful trigger for recalling memories.> Which is right next to and part of your: Amygdala: This part is in charge of emotions and feelings. Smells can evoke strong emotions and reactions because the amygdala connects them to past experiences. That’s why certain smells might make you feel happy, relaxed, or even nostalgic.
God uses smells and memories to bring us emotion, joy, sadness, longing. Realize this and lean into it. Don’t be afraid to experience all the emotions.
3) You can get so used to a smell you don’t even notice it anymore – but you still stink
On the good things in life, don’t get so used to the amazing access we have to God in Prayer or through free, immediate access to his Word. Or freedome to worship or meet here. Enjoy the “smell” of your spiritual life. God has blessed us beyond measure.
4) Everyone has a smell. What do you smell of? Selfishness or selflessness? Joy or Despair? Hope or Hopelessness? You may have to ask a brother to get the honest answer.

2 Cor 2: 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life.
Phil 4:18: walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Check your heart, make sure you are spending your days in a way that is an offering to God.
