Circuits of Courage

THE SCENE: Just about perfect weather – 50 degrees, no wind

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • SSH IC x 25
  • Cherry Pickers IC x 10
  • Tempo Squats IC x 12

THA-THANG:

We did a circuit on the grinder (1 station at each corner) with 1 station at the flag pole, and another at the pavalon. Each station has 2 exercises listed. Pretty simple – pair up with a battle buddy and do 20 reps of both exercises listed and move to the next station until time is called. Ended up making it through 3 rounds.

  • Station 1: Mountain Climbers (4 ct.) and Squat Jumps
  • Station 2 (flag pole): Dry Docks and Flutter Kicks (4 ct.)
  • Station 3 (pavalon): Bench Rows and Derkins
  • Station 4: Supermans and Hello Dollies (4 ct.)
  • Station 5: Shoulder Press and Bicep Curls (both exercises with the supplied rocks)
  • Station 6: Merkins and Lunges

Mosey to base of Little Baby Hill. One partner runs the hill and does 2 burpees at the top, while the other does squats at the bottom. Rinse & repeat – 3 times up the hill each.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

38 strong this morning – No FNG’s

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When one man acts courageously, it strengthens the spines of other men. It took courage for Peaches and Food Truck to share their testimonies with us at the 3rd F event on Saturday. By doing so, they allowed our small group time to be more open and allowed us as men to be more vulnerable with each other because they had the courage to be open themselves.

When we come out each morning to the gloom, we can either choose to push through the suck and make our brothers push themselves harder and farther than they imagined, or we can choose to half ass it and settle for mediocrity. When I see a brother pushing himself to his max, something stirs inside me that makes me want to push myself harder as well. Don’t be the guy who waits for someone else to step up before stepping up yourself. We’re called as HIMs to be the guy that strengthens the spines of other men through our actions.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Brought up the movie Dunkirk about how allied forces were surrounded by German forces on the beaches of Dunkirk France in WWII.  The solution to save lives of trapped allied soldiers was to use ordinary men and fishing boats to get to stranded troops.  It took ordinary men in fishing boats to go across the English Channel to help save lives.  It’s the same with us and Christ.  He calls us ordinary men to go out and be Christ every day.  We may feel ill equipped, but we aren’t.  It takes a leap of faith and doing.  Ordinary men doing extraordinary things.  It’s the same thing Christ looked for in the disciples.  Ordinary men willing to not ask questions and just do.  Let’s be ordinary men doing extraordinary things!

Get in the habit of taking out the Garbage.  Get into the habit of confessing sin to your brothers.  Don’t let it build up and fester in your heart.  God gives Grace the the humble.  1 John 9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a rightb spirit within me.
11Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
