COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
18 HIM’s making the most of a Monday
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today’s third F is about the 2nd F: Fellowship.

Proverbs 18:1
He who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgement

Transparency is the currency of intimacy so make yourself known.  Most of all to your family; share your heart with your wife and kids.  But also to guys out here.

When was the last time you opened your home; showed hospitality and avoided isolation.  It is possible to be a part of F3 and still isolated.  It is possible to go to church and remain totally isolated.  You have to open up and allow yourself to not go it alone.

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 ESV

Don’t Worry…

5 mins – mark off an area (kill zone). All PAX remain in area at all times. One PAX (“the attacker” or “it”) starts in one corner, the other PAX in the other corner. Assume bear crawl position and stay there. The Attacker begins to chase his prey throughout the kill zone (in bear crawl mode). Once contact is made with PAX (“tag”), contacted PAX becomes the attacker, returns to his corner, and it starts over. Tweak the exercise with the size of the kill zone and the number of people.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes men don’t pay attention to many emotions – we named the big ones: anger and hunger (not really an emotion). But we often worry without knowing it – when we can’t influence/control/manipulate a situation to the outcomes we want, those things often roll around in our minds or become susceptible to triggers without our knowledge. This is worry. (It’s like the photo negative/evil twin of meditation – rolling something around in our mind.) A well-known scripture teaches us how to deal with this. Philippians 4:6-7 (The Passion Translation):

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life,  then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.

I mentioned a song from Maverick City – Jireh

MOLESKIN:
Praying for wisdom and discernment for a specific situation; Crazy coffeeteria at Dunkin: met a guy with a cool Malinois (Belgian security dog) just moved to Oak Ridge from San Diego that needs F3 (we’ll see if he shows up); a sobering T-bone car accident at the nearest intersection that could easily have killed both drivers, and a mom at Dunkin who thought her son was involved (same kind of car).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
focused on an example of a North Korean defector who went through tremendous adversity to attain her goals. Along the way she learned to not judge the hardship of others. The word focused on extending that us, to not judge the hardship of others, but to provide guidance to help folks be the best they can be.

Part 2 of Missionality in the life of the High Impact Man

Missionality is Service in the High Impact Zone. To Live Right, a HIM must exert the majority of his efforts to Serve within his personal HIZ, the boundaries of which are defined by his Mission.

Mission is the course of action taken to achieve an articulated Purpose. The course of action is comprised of the individual Tasks the HIM undertakes to bring his Purpose into fruition. These Tasks are not random, but are the outgrowth of the Skills for which he is most suited, the things that he does with the most ease and familiarity and constantly improves through Practice.

Building on Kickflip’s message about the Dolphin, The Daffodil represents the people-category that a man is born to Serve with his Dolphin. Like the Dolphin, a man’s Daffodil is a matter of hard-wiring. There are men who continue to coach soccer even after their kids have stopped playing. It took me awhile, but my Daffodil is engaging, collaborating, and helping veterans in their post-military career. Each one of us has both a Dolphin ability and Daffodil passion. The HIM loves all of mankind equally, except for his Daffodil. He loves his Daffodil more, because that is who he was born to Serve.

Part 3 on Friday!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not commit murder ’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘ You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.”

Matthew 5:21‭-‬24 NASB

Jesus is teaching a more excellent way. It is not just about following the commands, but about the condition of the heart. That’s why if we have something against someone, we need to make it top priority to reconcile. Jesus mentions stopping in the middle of worship to reconcile with a brother. If we allow an issue to fester, it will just get more and more difficult to address.
