YHC shared the preface from “Tribe” by Sebastian Junger.  We are not made to walk through life alone.  Throughout history people have gathered in tribes to not just survive, but thrive. A tribe not only looks out for us, but won’t allow us to just skate by with minimal effort.  Our tribe-mates push us to reach our full potential and never settle for less than 100%.  We become better as we understand we have are responsible for the man to our left and right.  F3 gives us an opportunity to connect to something larger than our everyday world.  Each morning we are reminded that we live in a war zone and our engaged in a battle for the hearts and minds of those we love, but we are not alone!

Hebrews 10:24-25

The PAX continues to push and work hard every single workout.  Our FNG, Lazarus, shared a little bit of his story and blew us all away.  Thankful to have him join the PAX, and look forward to continue to get better together!

Where do we find our Significance?

I have been reading a book called the true measure of a man that was introduced to us by Byonce and God has really been using it to speak to me about where I find my significance.

Significance is the belief that your life makes a lasting difference.

There is a Theory proposed in the book the men find their significance in how the most important person in his life sees him. I think that often it is easy for men to get that confused.

What do you think would happen if Christ were the most important person in our life. What if Christ were the audience that we wanted to please most? It would truly transform our lives because Jesus understands we are each of incredible value. We are of infinite worth to him. He loves us with everlasting love.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Just Keep Moving…

Element of Authentic Manhood – Stewardship.
Matthew 25:14-30.  We are stewards of all we have, not owners.  Ownership implies that we are the center, stewardship reminds us that we have to give an account what we have been given.  Not just our resources and talents, but our relationships.

The PAX came ready to work and crushed it this morning.  Lot’s of good mummblechatter, great way to end the week and prep for the weekend!
