[qsource-ao] Kickoff for QSource AO

AO: qsource-ao
Q: Borg
PAX: Mermaid, Spellcheck, Borg, Steam
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Chat until 6a.m.

THE THANG:
Started at 6a.m.
Discussion points
1. Vision is for this to grow. Everyone attending can take this and start a new one. The ET Super Region is an easy drive through the valley.
2. QSOURCE AO best practices doc and standardization to maintain duplicatability.
3. Leadership must be Nant’an style, all are prepared to lead each week, just in case. Imagine an Indian warrior just itching to step in and take the lead.
4. Flag Care – the standard seems to be to keep the flag in the vehicle, protected, and the shovel anywhere it will fit.
5. Pushing rope – how do you know when you are? Discussed Examples of getting to know someone who was a pain, and then having a better appreciation for them after knowing their story.
6. How many of your close personal friends have accepted your invitation to F3? For at least two of us it was zero.
7. What is Mutual Competence? Discussed Flesh Anchors and Twelves and the ad/disad of the two. Is there always a Flesh Anchor? QSOURCE says every team has one.
8. So much more as the sun rose on a beautiful morning.
9. Every activity must include an attitude of training.
10. Every activity must include discerning when you are picking up the six vs when you are dragging a flesh anchor who has quit and is just dragging others down. This is a really tough one.

Stopped at 7a.m. But, then discussed what worked and what didn’t in this kickoff, see the AAR, below.

COT:
AAR
Sustain:
1. Q being prepared with notes.

Change:
1. Start by reading the QPoint and Socratics.
2. Plan to split into groups of 3-4 for a specific time period to discuss specific items.
3. Explain the lingo, when necessary.
4. Everyone, be concise when speaking. Be Spartan, “laconic”, in the use of words, so we don’t box others out. The Spartans respected brevity in speaking.
Closed in prayer.

– Word
Inigo Montoya was a tragic character. Not only was his father killed when he was a boy, but his life was consumed with revenge. It dominated his existence.

The Bible tells us the bitterness ensnares us like a weed. His heart and life were being strangled by this weed. The best way to get rid of a weed is to tear it out by the root when it is small. If you wait, it does more damage and is harder to remove.

Before I get started, the weather was freaking amazing considering how it’s been for the past few weeks. We always get that tease of fall, but it usually doesn’t happen until August. Gives you the energy. That and the sweet 80’s hair band playlist.

COT:
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you’ve got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see (ah-ah)
Our troubles are all the same (ah-ah)
You wanna be where everybody knows your name

It’s the theme to Cheers. However, it holds true for me. When I’m struggling or just off, it’s always great to know that there’s a place where dudes are there to work with you, check on you, and sometimes be in the same stank you’re going through. You’ll have a good time. You’ll learn from others, they’ll learn from you. And remember, it’s Nationwide. It might not be a great as F3 Knoxville, but I may be biased. Still, it’s good to know that there’s a place to go to, and there are many here in Knoxville, Tennessee, and the Nation. Check out F3nation.com/locations if you don’t believe me.

COT:
F3 math class
3-2=1 just a workout
3-1=2 just hanging out with the guys
But 1+2=3. In the F3 community, there is no way to isolate the 3rd F from the 1st and 2nd.
Leaders are readers – we shared what we are reading. Had a good variety. And asked, is it making us better?
At the prayer request time, we discussed things that affect our belief and how to pray for destructive people who impact us. Two good scenarios were provided:
Stephen’s prayer – forgive for they know not what they do.
God’s response of why to pray for Saul/Paul – I’m going to use him.
Conversation continued into a great coffeeteria.
Thank you for the honor of being the Q today.
