CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
With Easter upcoming where we celebrate life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we naturally ask: Who is Jesus?  What is He like?

He is never “too cool” for anyone.  He approached lepers. He played with children.  He talked with Samaritan women. He showed compassion to tax collectors, beggars, thieves, and widows. He noticed people that were mourning, sick, frightened, and having financial troubles. He saw people as they were, loved them, and also saw what they could become. He stood up for outcasts, for the publicly shamed.

Yet with His radical inclusivity He never condoned unrighteousness, even a little. He taught hard truths, truths that are still hard—both to swallow and to live.  He taught “except ye shall keep my commandments . . . ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”  He taught that not only should we not kill, we shouldn’t be angry with or say unkind things to or about each other, and instead actively work to reconcile our differences.  He taught we should actively try to keep our thoughts morally clean, not just have chaste and virtuous behavior. He taught that when we do something good, we should try to do it privately and not seek praise for our good actions.

The great news of Easter is that if you feel you have a ways to go to meet these divine expectations, Jesus really did die and really does live again, and because of Him we can receive all the help we need to close that gap.  What a reason to celebrate!

Kansas overcame a 16 point deficit in NCAA championship game to win it. Sorry Voodoo and all you NC fans. Kansas didn’t give up and it should remind you that if it’s important don’t give up. Whether that’s a sporting event, job, or your relationship with God. F3 brothers will be there to help, if needed. Also, don’t let up if you’re in a good position. Again, our F3 brothers can help maintain your position if you feel it slipping away.

Me and 12 fine men of the Shamrock 

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: 

F3 is more than a workout.  If you are really investing yourself and opening yourself up to your PAX, then you are building deep and meaningful friendships that will sustain you through good times and bad.  It is such a unique and special thing, and I don’t know of a better group of men out there.

How do you invest yourself in deeper, intentional friendships?

  • Consistency – it’s not just about showing up when you need to be shored up.
  • Contributing – You don’t take and take and take.  In fact, you expect and strive to give more than you take from this group.  You expect to invest more than you’ll have returned.
  • Candidness (outward) – Have the courage to speak candidly to a friend who is falling short of a high standard.  Talk straight to the man who is acting foolishly, who is harming himself and others around him, and who is temporarily blind, ignorant, or uncaring of their foolishness.
  • Candidness (inward) – Transparency / vulnerability. In order for you to have any credibility whatsoever to speak candidly to a hurting friend, you must first consistently be opening your own heart to him.  You must be candid about your own struggles, fears, insecurities, shortcomings, dreams.  Only then have you earned to right to speak truth to him about his struggles.

Romans 12:10
“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.”
