1 Timothy 4:8 “ or while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”

Make sure that you have a full spiritual tank to pour out to your family, neighbors and co workers. We are not designed to live this life in our own strength. Quickbooks revealed how he could recall exactly how many F3 workouts he did last year but was really convicted about how he has not pursued the Lord with even half the same vigor.

God desires relationship with us and that we might pursue him. We must give him time to have a relationship with him.

Isaiah 55:6 “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near;

Around and Around we Go

BOM
One of the reoccurring themes of Western civilization is the pursuit of comfort and convenience. Down time isn’t bad, everyone needs time to recharge, recalibrate and refocus, and there is no sense in making something harder than it needs to be.  But when we seek to eliminate all discomfort and struggle we loose something…the growth that comes from overcoming adversity.  There is a reason that most champions have notoriously difficult training regimes, without challenge there is no growth.

Fredrick Douglass (1818-1895) was an African-American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York.  Rather than allowing those evil circumstances to define him, he allowed them to strengthen him and gave himself to a higher cause. Read the strength in his words, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.”

Challenges change us.  As former Navy SEAL Eric Greitens says in his book Resilience, “The magnitude of the challenge × the intensity of your attack = your rate of growth.”  This is true not only physically, but mentally and spiritually.  HIMs are men that push against the status quo, both externally and internally.  They wake each day looking for ways to get better and make their world a better place.  They recognize it requires sacrifice, but count the cost and move forward.  HIMs are able to see past the immediate challenge to the greater purpose that guides them.

MOLESKIN
This PAX was pumped and ready this morning!  Mummblechatter was high and everyone gave 100% the whole time.  For YHC, this was a special one.  The men of F3 Knoxville have been inspiring me for a little over a year now, and show absolutely no sign of letting up.  Everyone once in a while you get to be a part of something special…F3 Knoxville is one of those times.
