MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: September is Suicide Awareness Month
Earmuffs dropped a impactful message before jetting off. Anxiety and communication is contagious. It’s more of you thinking of yourself and the conversation versus how God wants to use you in this conversation.

Latin Suicides

AO: the-farm
Q: Choir Boy
PAX: Choir Boy, School Zone (Michael Shope), Sharpie
FNGs: None
COUNT: 3
WARMUP: Some SSHs, little baby arm circles (forward and backward), windmills

THE THANG: Mosey to the basketball court for some suicides with exercises.  Start at one baseline, run to the top of the three point line and do 10 reps, run back to the baseline, run to half court and do 20 reps, run back, run to the top of the opposite three point line and do 30 reps, run back, run to the other baseline and do 40 reps, run back and do abs until the six arrives.  

We did squats, merkins, calf raises, CDDs, lunges, and burpees (we made it to the opposite three point line on burpees before time).  So, we did 100 squats, 100 merkins, 100 calf raises, 100 CDDs, 100 lunges (total – 50 each leg), and 60 burpees.  Not bad by 6:15am.  We may have gotten better, but at least we didn’t get worse.  And, School Zone taught us some select Latin words along the way.

MARY: Only had time to hold a plank for a minute.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: None spoken

COT: I sometimes get discouraged that I’m not better (faster, stronger, fitter, etc.) from all of the workouts that I do.  Then, it occurs to me that if this is what I’m like with all of the workouts that I do, imagine where I would be if I didn’t do any. That thought helps motivate me to keep coming out.

Independence Day!

WORD
Today is Independence Day, the day the Declaration of Independence was signed declaring our independence from Great Britain.

The Second Sentence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..

Today we remember ALL people and what the Declaration of Independence stands for. Remember the liberty that we enjoy, celebrate equality for all and pursue justice for all people. Including those that may be different from you.

May we all live together remembering what our fore fathers fought for.

Word — Forg3 2023

https://f3knoxville.com/forg3-2023-registration-is-live/

We are rolling out our first F3 Knoxville men’s retreat this fall – Forg3! Forg3 was created with F3 men in mind – to strengthen the bonds we have with each other and our Creator, over the course of a weekend retreat.

Forge (v.) – to shape and mold into a new condition, by heating in a fire / to move forward gradually and steadily.

Forg3 (n.) – an invigorating 40-hour weekend retreat to challenge and encourage F3 men in their pursuit of high impact manhood. You can expect to engage with other men in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd F sessions, to better understand who you are, whose you are, and the High Impact Man God has called you to be. You’ll have opportunities throughout the weekend to seek adventure, to rest, and to sharpen iron with other F3 men physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. 

If you love adventure of the heart, mind, body, and soul – Forg3 is for you. Forg3 was created for F3 men, by F3 men, as a way to engage together for a purposeful and relationally-driven weekend to step further into the men God has called us to be.
