CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A friend of mine who lives near Chattanooga sent me an awesome article from the Labor Day edition of the Times Free Press of Chattanooga. The article talked about our F3 brothers in that community. The link to the article is attached below. The article meant a great deal to me for several reasons:
- Us Knoxville guys helped start the first AO in Chattanooga.
- Our brothers are doing great things in that community. They now have eight workout groups there.
- The article discusses how across the United States feelings of social isolation and loneliness are increasing according to the American Psychological Association.
- The article discussed how one study, published in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science found social isolation to have the same risk factors for death as obesity.
- The article talks about how F3 helps men to be more fit but also breaks up the patterns among men of isolation and loneliness.
- The article talks about how the Faith component of F3 gets men to think about things greater than the individual and think of ways to improve the community.
