Mosey to King College lot for “Toss O’ War”.  Form 2 teams for a competition.  There are two lines of cones separated by 200’, and a 20# medicine ball in the middle.  Perform exercise at your cones, sprint to the ball, and throw it as far as you can toward the other team.  You cannot touch the ball while it is in the air, but once it hits the ground you can stop it.  Play for 5 minutes, then call a winner.  Exercises were;

  1. 25 Carolina dry docks
  2. 30 O.A.T. Planks (15 each side)
  3. 25 4-count flutter kicks

Mosey to AWW Hill for “Wolves Hunt the Rabbit”.  There are 14 trees going up the hill.  One PAX – the “rabbit” – starts at tree #5 and does 2 burpees per tree, then sprints to the next.  The rest of the PAX – the “wolf pack” start at tree #1 and does 1 burpee per tree and sprint to the next.  Will the wolves catch the rabbit?

Mosey to the steps to nowhere.  One PAX names a core exercise, then sprints to the top of the steps and back.  Continue until all PAX have gone.

2 rounds of Howling Monkeys.  Run back down.

Run back for another round of Toss O’ War.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

Me and 15 of the best men I know

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Wolves are both fierce and tenderhearted.  We should be as well.

  • “The righteous are bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1).
  • “Blessed is the one who remains steadfast under trial” (James 1:12).
  • “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong” (1 Corinthians 16:13)

When life requires it of you, be ready to spring into action with zealousness – fierceness – intensity! You should be alert, vigilant, fearsomely protective, fiercely loyal to your pack…   Continue to be strong in the ways that count.

But simultaneously

be soft in the ways that count.

  • Be tenderhearted with your loved ones (Ephesians 4:32).
  • Show humility.  Have sympathy for those less fortunate.  (1 Peter 3:8)
  • Avoid arguing.  Speak evil of no one.  Be gentle and courteous (Titus 3:2)

Be approachable and relatable for your kids – and be patient with them.  Show affection and make yourself emotionally available to your wife – pamper her.

To be a wolf is to be a fearsome warrior, but it is also to be tender nurturer.  You are called to be both.

The Warrior Ethos (AKA Jedi Training) consist of 13 pillars: Commitment, Honor, Respect, Prepared, Faithful, Fighter, Hungry, Humble, Lover, Teachable, Firestarter, Truthful, and Generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse.

The master has failed more times than the inexperienced have ever tried. Let’s learn from our mistakes.

Commitment:
The verse for this pillar is Galatians 6:9

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Love this!! Do good and don’t give up!! If you can do more, do it!! You will be rewarded. You are a child of the most high. God! Let’s go!!

There’s power in our words. Your belief in your heart creates your reality.
I am… You are what you say you are, so make sure it’s positive! I challenge you guys to try it this week. Remember God‘s on your side and don’t limit Him!

MOLESKIN:
Talked about the importance of the love ingredient in the marriage and that love is a verb not a noun, so it needs to be practiced. Plants need water to grow, same way love needs to be executed to flourish in our marriage…let’s practice simple things that we used to do when they were our girlfriends and focus on little details that will change our lives…let’s plan for a romantic diner…why not :)!!!

I attended a men’s conference two weekends ago called Warrior One3 in Austin, TX. Its was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it! These were some dudes that were fired up about Jesus. It was great!!

I want to share a couple of things that stood out to me. More than once it was said that “This is not a retreat, it’s in advance!”

Don’t try, Do! Every time someone said I’ll try to… They were challenged. “You’ll what?!”

The Warrior Ethos consist of 13 pillars: Commitment, Honor, Respect, Prepared, Faithful, Fighter, Hungry, Humble, Lover, Teachable, Firestarter, Truthful, and Generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse. Now that I’m back on the schedule, we’ll dive into these.

There’s power in our words. The belief in your heart creates your reality.

I am… You are what you say you are, so make sure it’s positive! I challenge you guys to try it this week. Remember God‘s on your side and don’t limit Him!
