11 men drug themselves out of bed knowing it was low 40’s and raining to go outside and beat themselves up. Awesome!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

2 Thessalonians 3:13-15

13 As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good. 14 If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

These three verses offer a lot of great advice for us to take to heart. Read them, apply them, and get better. Let’s look to our brothers and strive to bring them up, even if that requires causing shame. For through that shame, they will either decide to make themselves right or will continue in their lost state.

Selfishness

It’s easy to go through your day to day activities and only think about the things you need to do or that make you happy.  When was the last time you offered to help someone or made some sort of random act that benefitted only someone else?

One of the foundational aspects of being a man is demonstrating unselfish activities for others or within your family to your wife and kids.

We’ve all probably heard the verses (Luke chapter 10 for example) about loving your neighbor as yourself, but do you ever act on that?

Don’t forget to help others or do something that may seem small that might specifically set someone’s day off on a positive trajectory

Not only are you helping others by the actions that you’ll take, but as an example…you may change the way they start the day by having a simple cup of coffee ready for them when they wake up…but you’re also setting an example for you kids or someone else that may watch you go about of other way to be unselfish.

I challenge everyone to think of something…maybe we should start small and say pick out one thing that is selfish that you do and work on that. Focus on changing that in the next….week,month,year depending on how big of an aspect you decide on

 

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.

11 Men that I pray are striving to be HIMs! Glad to see Footsie back out again.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Why are you here?

I started asking myself that question about 3 months after joining F3. My initial reason for coming out to F3 to prove to myself that I was fit enough to keep up. (Spoiler Alert: I wasn’t!) My hurt ego kept me coming those first 3 months as I pushed to get faster and stronger. I was no doubt here for the wrong reason.

Today, my reason for coming to F3 is different, I’m here because it makes me a better man, a better father, a better husband, and even a better Christian. The workout is an added bonus to the BOM & COT that offer the true reward for rolling out of bed at an unreasonable time. F3’s purpose is to “invigorate male community leadership.” F3 is also a “Faith” based group. If you read up on that aspect per F3 nation it does not define “Faith” as Christianity or even religion, but as a belief in something bigger than oneself. However, I’m blessed that here at JUCO each member of the PAX has shared their own belief that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. This has allowed for an even greater impact from the PAX on my life as they each share Biblical messages that push us to be better Christians and strive to be HIMs.

A note on High Impact Men (HIMs). We use this term frequently when referring to our PAX in F3, but let’s take a moment to reflect on what this term means. A High Impact Man can be defined by immeasurable qualities, integrity, honesty, loyalty, servitude, leadership, humbleness, meekness, etc.  In my mind, the true HIM need only be defined by one single word, Godly. Any man that can be defined as such will inherently be a High Impact Man. I’m urging each member of the JUCO PAX to strive for Godliness in all that you do.

1 Timothy 4:8

“For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.”

 

MOLESKIN:

16 HIMs knocked off the rust from Fall Break with a good old fashioned beatdown.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This world is becoming more confusing every day, especially for our children. We as men need to ensure that we are being definitive examples of Godly men to our children. To ensure that they see how a Godly man acts, thinks, and most importantly rejects worldly living to seek after Christ. If we don’t teach our children, then the world will. It’s quite evident that too many children today have been shaped by a corrupt world and not by Godly parents.
