CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God created men to enjoy adventure and battle.  We like to push ourselves in F3 as we are battling fatigue and pain in an effort to win against ourselves.  Men need that challenge.  You see it in little boys.  My own son’s favorite Bible story was that of David and Goliath.  We would live that out in make believe a million times, with he (David) battling me (Goliath).

While men need battle and adventure with other men, they also need comfort, assurance and love.  We may get that from women such as our wives or girlfriends but we also need it from men.  We as F3 brothers can give that to others in need and when we are in need, we can seek it from our brothers.  We also need that loving comfort from God.  The best Hebrew translation of Abba, which is often a term used for God in the Bible, is “Daddy”.  God is our Father but he is also our Daddy.  We can go to him when we are wounded and weak.  He can lovingly and even gently comfort us.
