CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower encouraged Allied soldiers taking part in the D-day invasion of June 6, 1944, reminding them, “The eyes of the world are upon you,” before they embarked on ” a great crusade.”

– it is so hard for us to remember how much has been sacrificed for us to be able to do this today. Think back to when you were 18 & idk what you were doing but I bet it wasn’t jumping out of a boat with bullets flying by your head and into your buddies.

– I think Eisenhower’s reminder of the eyes of the world are upon you still ring true for us today though. As Christian men – Men of Impact – the eyes of the world absolutely are on us and we are without a doubt on a crusade. Keep fighting the good fight and keep the faith. Like I said before you are better men than when you showed up this morning – and none of us would be here without the other.

Big Tuesday crowd! 18 PAX came out to get better… Wouldn’t let me tag Petro, or Thread Count so shout out to u both

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Word today was on Anxiety and how it is present in all our lives and how God calls us to be anxious about nothing but instead pray about everything.  That we are constantly under attack by the things of this world and that we must always be re-calibrating our minds like Philippians 4:8 instructs us “Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”  An awesome word from Paul who had every reason to be anxious and worried about his future when he sat in shackles in prison.  Instead, he saw his state as a way to praise and spread the kingdom.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

21 strong – 1 FNG (Contact)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM

Nothing groundbreaking – just have been reflecting on how F3 has impacted my life, how much each of these brothers means to me, and how God has used them in my life. I’m thankful for the opportunity to be around so many HIMs.

Also, a big shift for me in how I viewed F3 happened when I started Q’ing. By leading the group, I felt a sense of ownership and accountability that wasn’t present before. I cared more deeply about the other men, about the mission of F3, and it gave me confidence to push past my own comfort level. If it’s been a while since you’ve Q’d or if you’ve never Q’d before, there are so many guys that would love to help you to plan/execute a workout. It’s not only a great way to serve others, but it’s also a great way to grow as an individual and as a leader.

Empathy
1- Considering that someone has a life outside of the situation
2-Everyone is right. if you understood what the other person wants and why they want it you would likely want it too.

“”All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.”
