Additionally, even after being built, you cannot ignore them. Continued maintenance is required or all of these will crumble.

Mermaid was spotted in the gloom, celebrating what he calls the BSIA(best sunrise in America) with his daughters. Happy Birthday to her! :birthday:

Everyone was prepared and read the material or listened to the podcast or both.
We opened with prayer and then dove into Q2 The Dedication to Purposefulness.

Socratics:
1. Are we alive for a reason outside of our own existence?
2. What happens to a man who lives primarily for himself?
3. Is there an intrinsic benefit in living for others?

1. Can a man self-initiate positive change in his life?
2. Can a broken man be helped?
3. Can an unbroken man be convinced to risk abandoning his Status Quo?

Discussion points:
-We are created by God to worship Him and love others.
-Living for yourself is idolatry
-This creates shame, selfishness and hate
-Me attitude makes you lonely in a false reality
-We discussed reality at length, how we create our reality by our experiences and influences. This can be very different for people.
-Serving others takes your outside yourself
-Living for others creates selflessness, gratitude and love.
-Self vs Others, Isolation vs Community
-Sur/Ser continuum, Survivor/Servant
-Others are your purpose, the call to action is to move into proximity so that you can have an impact.

Finished up with this question and prayer:
How do you handle feeling lead to disciple(lead out of sad clown) someone when they don’t show motivation or desire to change?

The Best Sunrise In America (BSIA), as it’s billed at Asylum, was on full display as we moved this group back outside.

This week we covered the final chapter in Get Right, 1.12 Meeting. There was tremendous discussion as always, and the six of us are better for not only attending, but sharing and learning more about how to be better leaders.

Here is a CHATGPT Summary of this chapter of the Qsource.

Summary of “The Public Manifestation of Faith”
This piece emphasizes the importance of publicly expressing one’s faith, particularly through communal gatherings, as a means to strengthen belief, hold leaders accountable, and leave a lasting legacy.

Faith in Community
Faith is most effectively nurtured in the company of others. Engaging in communal activities, such as attending services, allows individuals to:
– Strengthen their belief system
– Support and be supported by fellow believers
– Hold spiritual leaders accountable
– Experience personal growth through service to others
Despite logistical challenges, the act of meeting together serves a purpose beyond personal comfort—it is a practice that accelerates faith and fosters leadership virtues.

The Role of Leadership and Candor
Effective leadership is rooted in virtue and the consistent application of one’s belief system. A virtuous leader is characterized by:
– Competence in practicing their faith
– Commitment to truth
– Willingness to confront difficult truths
Candor, the ability to graciously tell and hear hard truths, is essential for leaders. The presence of committed individuals in communal settings encourages leaders to speak boldly and uphold accountability.

Leaving a Legacy
A lasting legacy is built through consistent practice of faith and leadership virtues. By publicly manifesting faith, individuals contribute to a community that supports and holds each other accountable, ensuring that the impact of their beliefs endures beyond their lifetime.

In essence, the public manifestation of faith is not merely about personal edification but about contributing to a community that upholds truth, supports leadership, and leaves a lasting legacy.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
-Hardship Hill this Saturday!!!

COT:
This morning I tried very hard to find something to share, but nothing came to me. Instead, God told me to share what was on my heart. I said “No, I’ll find something else.” I did not find something else and again God told me to share what was on my heart.

Reluctantly, I complied. My heart has been convicted with unforgiveness. I have been holding onto a grudge for years against somebody who hurt me. It’s like taking poison myself and hoping that person would die. It’s ridiculous in its illogic.

I hope my conviction by the Holy Spirit may also be encouraging to my brothers at F3. May we all forgive as He forgave.

Hardship Hill and work day
COT:
With mother’s day coming, I thought it would be a good opportunity to say a few words about the mothers in our lives. We probably wouldn’t be where we are today without the ones who raised us. We wouldn’t hardly be able to make it through the day without the ones who are by our side through it all. We get so busy in our day to day that we tend to forget how much of a blessing a wife is to us and our families. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages. Remember to thank her for her contributions to the family. Show her that you love her. Make time to spend with her. She needs to feel appreciated.
