COT:
Doorkicker’s question
Why is building real community in the church so hard?
Discuss 15 minutes

This was a trial of the 30/30 workout. This is a 30 minute workout followed by a 30 minute discussion of one question that is sent out in advance. This was modified to be a 15 minute discussion to stay within the usual 45 minute workout.

Something that worked well (IMHO) was to have a simple workout plan that allowed me to give instructions once and let ‘er rip. Also PAX could make the workout as intense as they needed since it was an AMRAP.

After 30 mins, time was called and we assembled in the pavilion. Both Z-Pack and Borg brought coffee, so that was enjoyed by all (even Shotgun :wink:). Thank you, men, for doing that.

We had all had time to think through DK’s question. A few thoughts included we don’t value deep relationships enough, judgementalism, laziness, lack of boldness, fear and insecurity, lack of common mission.

One word that came to my mind was “OPTIONAL.” I live like a lot of things are optional, including deep relationships.

DK said we should get our families together. Let’s do that, bros.

Also, somebody else run a 30/15! You are freed to lead.

Prayer by Borg, SYITG next time :muscle:

COT:
The Barkley Marathons just finished up a couple of weeks ago with no finishers. Any long distance race requires a lot of training to be able to reach the finish line. These are endurance races, not sprints. Our lives are also not a sprint. The author of Hebrews has some words in spiritual endurance.
Hebrews 12:1-3 NASB1995
[1] Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, [2] fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. [3] For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Sin is one of those things that can slow us down and prevent us from reaching our spiritual goals. I encourage you to keep training! Build your endurance so that you may finish the race.
2 Timothy 4:7-8 NASB1995
[7] I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; [8] in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

– Some men are “way to ready to lead” – but they are not prepared.
– Mentor must understand the Mentee’s personality.
– Giving advice requires a history of exhorting properly and positively.

[virtuous-leadership-school] Q1.7 Shieldlock – The Horizontal Relationship between Men

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
Q: Borg
PAX: Otis, Spinner, Spellcheck, Borg
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Coffee, Prayer and Stories

THE THANG:
Men hunt best in a pack.
– But some things you need to do on your own.
– Watching others fail can provide optional approaches.
– Some can hear, some can watch, some must do to fail – Example of peeing on an electric fence – some people just have to do it to know not to. Lol.
– Persistence hunting is done as a team, the result is shared.
– Wolves hunt in a pack, but don’t share – pecking order.
Can you fight Adversity beforehand? You had better!
– Mechanic training technique – push apprentice more and more every day to their breaking point and learn from the reaction – rage or reason?
– Every man’s response is his responsibility.

Ties directly into the Whetstone discussion for next week. Sometimes you are a mentor without realizing it.
