CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Lean hard on your spouse or friend or family because when you fall down its important to have that strong, braided cord to pull you back up. When we see couples weathering through difficult times and keeping their focus on God, that should be a reminder to us about the importance of drawing nearer to our spouse and showing them grace.

MOLESKIN:
Great workout today, partners pushed each other hard and this ended up being a really tough one

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
12 Pax pushed through today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When we pulled up in front of Matterhorn, just the thought of what possible misery could be done on that beast was tough. Although we didn’t run up it, it was already hard. The biggest battle we fight is between our ears. We need to remember to invite God into those battles so we’re not standing alone against the enemy. Life can be relentless and if we’re not relentless, it can swallow us whole.

MOLESKIN:

PAX worked hard today, the harder the workout got, the harder I saw these men push. Please keep our PAX in your prayers. Many of us are being called to be leaders for friends, family and neighbors that are going through hardships. Special shout-out to Stitches who is going through MEPS today.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
No chains on me.

I listen to Christian rap music and I love it!  Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tadisha, NF, etc.  One artist has a line in his song that says “Because of Him, I’m so free I got no chains on me.”  Look at the chain we carried around it has two hooks, one end is attached to you and the other is attached to the sin, troubles and hardships we face on a daily basis.  Each link is a struggle, challenge, guilt, and we are carrying them with us.  When we have life in Jesus, he breaks our chains.  He saves us.  He cuts the anchor dragging us down and causes us to live with Him in love.

Some of you here may not know Him, may not be saved, or may not be walking with Him.  Talk to me, or one of the other men here about that.  And if you are saved you need to be out in the streets spreading the message of our Chainbreaker.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Whatever I said wasn’t what I wanted to say.  But God is not meek his is strong and he is always strong.  He wants us to be meek at times, so that we can depend on one another and more importantly depend on Him.  He wants us to be strong for one another. There have been far too many stories lately of men not reaching out and it ending in dire consequences.  We as HIMs need to make sure we are reaching out too and being God’s light to these men.

MOLESKIN:
Props to Junk for coming out even though he is on IR
