CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

What are you wrestling with? 

Sin? – That’s great news! That means that you have the Holy Spirit in you.

Your faith? – Again, great news! God knows that we have up and down moments in our lives that challenge our faith. Keep wrestling with God. That way is better than the alternative of walking away from him. 

F3?  – Is it just me? Some weeks I’m on fire for F3 and specifically Shamrock. Other weeks I’m like that Homer Simpson disappearing into the shrubs animation. I’ll just be checked out. Other weeks, I wrestle with F3. Why am I doing it? It is good for me? Physically? Spiritually? Mentally? Should I be coming out here 3-5 days a week?

Your marriage / kids? Same thing. If I’m wrestling with it, at least I’m engaged and fighting for it. 

Your job?  – I feel like this is also a constant. Am I supposed to be here? Am I making a difference? Am I happy? Will I have a job in 6 months? Does God want me to be here? 

So I will wrap it up by encouraging you to keep wrestling. It shows that you care. Just don’t wrestle with it alone. I know there are brothers here that would love to be your coach, cheerleader, friend to walk with you through your wrestling.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Gentlemen I’ve had a good run 🏃‍♂️ Thank you for the opportunity! It’s been an honor and a pleasure.

I couldn’t think of a better person to pass this flag to. I’ve had a lot of discussions with a lot of you as well as several members of the leadership team.

First off I feel super blessed to have such a great group of leaders to choose from. Obviously I wanted someone that represented all 3 F’s. Beyond that, I was looking for consistency. Who’s always here? Who’s leading by example? Who’s bringing ideas to challenge us? Who’s trying to strengthen the bond we have?

I wrote down Legacy when I was considering this role.

What is an example of a legacy?

For example, some people consider a legacy to be real estate or money. But the most treasured forms of legacy are found in intangible gifts: values, memories, friendship, love, and respect. I like the intangible ones…

The other was Passing the baton.

Where did the phrase passing the baton come from?

The phrase “passing the baton” is thought to have originated in the Olympic relay race around 1967, signifying duty and denoting that a successful outcome requires collective effort. This understanding of collaboration was embodied by passing an emblematic baton from competitor to competitor. I like that as well.

Run the good race my brother!! I’ll be here to support and cheer you on!!

Psalm 143:10 

10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!

 1- The request –  “Teach me to do your will,”- Isn’t that basically what we all want and need from God? It’s a direct request to God that he will honor. 

2- The praise – “for you are my God!” – I love this declaration of worship and respect to God. 

3 – Continued praise and doubling down on the request – “Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!” – This gives me a visual for “Your will be done” – David invites God to lead him. He humbly admits that he can’t walk through life on his own. He needs the one and only mighty God to walk with him.
