Continued the theme from this past weekend’s 3rd F- Suffering. We can’t have adversity without pain. It’s not possible. God meets us at the point of our deepest need. We were made to live in community with others. Take your concerns, cares, adversity, pain, and suffering to God and share with appropriate others.

Sometimes life hands you what seems like a bad set of circumstances, but you must not get down and frustrated. Sometimes this bad situation is actually something good. A friend of mine received what was seemingly bad news, but now (not for sure) it seems like what was previously bad conditions are actually something better. So, roll with the punches life throws you filthy animals.

As I’ve observed those around me lately – specifically male Christians – I have noticed a lot of passivity. There is an old adage that goes something like this: “Share the love of Jesus everywhere you go, and if necessary, use words”. I understand the point this is trying to make, and we should be living in a way that others take notice. However as Christian men, we should also be taking a stand for Christ – which means using words, debating/disagreeing when necessary. I’m not suggesting we go around starting arguments, but we should definitely reject the passive approach and be steadfast in how we represent ourselves. So often the Christian faith is seen as curling up in Jesus’ lap and getting coddled. Yes, Jesus does offer rest to the weary and is a place of refuge when needed, but the example that Jesus set while on this earth was not that of someone in the fetal position…he was bold in his words, strong in his position, confident. As men, I pray we are attuned to God’s word and are actively looking for opportunities to be bold for him.

4 takeaways for today:
Accountability – Hold one another accountable to make it out here. Encourage one another to get better and be better. Hold one another accountable in our regular lives outside our workout times as well.
Q! Sign up to Q! Everyone has the ability, wherewithal and capacity to do it. We can help. You can do it.
Mend House – Come out and post with these guys on Wednesdays at 6pm. They’re a great group of guys to workout with and we all benefit from being around one another.
Give Back – Give back to the AOs where you post. Volunteer for a cleanup day or help do things around the park / school / etc. I know we can definitely help the Lions Club keep FC Park clean and running well for everyone to use. ANNOUNCEMENTS:

You are either growing or dying. Stepping outside your comfort zone is key to discovering your passion, accomplishing your goals and finding happiness. Start with small steps to get out of your comfort zone to keep growing. “One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” Abraham Maslow
