CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Our words have power.  Specifically, as a father and as a husband, your words have more power than you can imagine. Your children, and mine, will grow up believing the words they hear us speak to them.

When it comes to the words you speak over your family – be gracious, be careful.

We can use this power irresponsibly…

Proverbs 12:18 – The words of the reckless pierce like swords

Proverbs 15:4 – a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

Proverbs 11:17 – you destroy yourself when you are cruel.

…or we can use that awesome power to build-up, to create, to restore, to empower

Proverbs 16:24 – Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

Proverbs 11:17 – Your own soul is nourished when you are kind

Proverbs 12:18 – the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Proverbs 15:4 – Gentle words are a tree of life;

Proverbs 18:21 – The tongue has the power of life and death,

“Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.” (Psalm 141:3)

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

Me and 11 of the best men I know.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We say this in F3 – “leave no man behind – but leave no man where you found him“.  If you are striving to be a HIM, you will not be the same man next year that you were this year – because you are always growing, always be getting better.  This morning, we thought about which of the three Fs you will see growth in by the end of summer.

From Anders Ericsson’s book, “Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise”. To be excellent at something, you need…

  • …feedback. You need to be another man to know your plan, to see your work, and to provide you with feedback on your performance.

For the area that you are going to see growth in, what does “feedback” look like?

  • …to get outside of your comfort zone. Anders tells us this may be the most essential aspect of purposeful practice. He puts it directly: “If you never push yourself beyond your comfort zone, you will never improve.”

For the area that you are going to see growth in, what does “outside your comfort zone” look like?

A few men shared their goals and how they are going to pursue feedback.

MOLESKIN:

Team One with the dominating win!  Well done!

Being kind takes effort!

“In view of all of this, make every effort to respond to God‘s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence of knowledge, and knowledge with self control and self control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.”
