COT:
Don’t Stay Submerged
– Extraction quote: “You drown not by falling into the river, but by staying submerged in it.”
– This reminds me of the ministry of Jesus
   – He loves people better than anyone
   – He would find someone in their current state — love them right where they’re at — but also love them enough to not allow them to stay there. John 5 is a great example of this: www.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.5.NLT
       – He saw this man by this pool and had compassion and understanding for him because he realized he had been there for a long time.
       – Boom – Jesus loved him right there where he found him – but he also loved him enough to not let him stay there
           – I always wondered if that man went back after he was healed. Did he come back to that pool that he was lame at for years and years and share what Jesus did for him with others. Woo……….
What if we did that? With every man in this COT – whether you’ve been here for 1 workout or for 100 workouts. (“Man, I love you and I see you – but I love you enough to not let you stay where you are. Let’s figure this out together. Let’s journey together.”)

– Takeaways –

  – Who can you call on to help pull you back to the surface?

  – Who can you challenge + encourage to not stay submerged?

  – 47 more weeks to go this year
       – Which is exactly 7,896 hours (if Google is correct)

What are you going to do with that time?

As Long As…

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Ruck Events!
COT:We talked about the trust-based contract between a Q and the PAX and it’s similar between the PAX and F3… the “As long as” phrase. I will continue to follow you “As long as” that trust isn’t breached. F3 has a special formula, a secret sauce, and whatever it is, it works, so my approach is “Don’t try to fix it!” Maintain the strategy of growth, but make sure that the fundamental aspects remain unchanged (This is the Weasel Shaker in me coming out…); free of charge, open to all men, welcoming and encouraging, etc. etc. It has had a huge impact just like it is in my life, and in many others’ lives. Aye!

Slushy Workout

THE SCENE: Cloudy, low 40s, slushy, snow on ground, and in parking lots.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH (20, 4ct), Windmills (10), Baby arm circles (10 fwd, 10 back) and Grady corns (10), Squats (20, 4 ct), and Jack Merkins. Moseyed, stopped for 20 4ct LBCs, moseyed, stopped for set of 11s (dips/big boys).

THA-THANG:  Stayed on the walking/running path due to snow. Start with one of the following exercises, run to every other light pole, do one more of the exercise, and the run again until you complete 10 (end of path). Loop around, 5 Burpees at the end and start the process again with the next exercise on the list:

  • Big Boys
  • Squats
  • Merkins
  • Hello Dollys

MARY:
20 4ct American Hammers

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Men (especially young men) are struggling to find their purpose in our society and F3 is playing a role in helping with this. F3 doesn’t look for scapegoats, but accepts men where they are and provides a place to grow in a positive direction.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers were raised for the names of people who were suffering through lost loved ones or illness. Many of them neighbors.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
2nd F at UJs afterwards.

COT:
Ps 119:8-16
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
Blessed are you, O Lord;
teach me your statutes!
With my lips I declare
all the rules of your mouth.
In the way of your testimonies I delight
as much as in all riches.
I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways.
I will delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.
