YHC read from John 8:12.  He talked about the iconic Sunsphere and how it represented “energy” in the 1982 World’s Fair.  This passage from John encourages us to be a “light” to the world…and we should be lights in our community, our workplace, our church and our home.

YHC then prayed us out.

MOLESKIN
Wow!  31 PAX participated in the inaugural beat-down at the World’s Fair Park.  Lots of spirited mumblechatter and laughter.  This location offers much for future workouts, including lots of fields, stairs, water and greenway routes.

This AO will help us reach potential PAX both downtown and in East Knoxville.  No sadclown or fartsacker is safe in Knoxville, men.  Let’s keep it going.

The theme of the morning was “better together.” We partnered up with a “Battle Buddy” for the morning to push and encourage each other through the workout. One of the characteristics of a sad clown is he lives a lonely, isolated life…F3 is the antithesis of that! We live by the simple truth that we are exponentially stronger physically, mentally and spiritually together than alone. Initially, most men come to F3 to work on themselves, which is a good thing, but soon we all learn that iron truly does sharpen iron. Something powerful happens to a PAX when men start showing up for each other as much for themselves. As Solomon says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-11). We put this into practice this morning, and each of us leave better because of it.

MOLESKIN
When the K-Town PAX met up to head to Johnson City we didn’t know what to expect, but spirits where high and we were ready to met our new brothers. When we got there and Donatello was waiting for us and rolled out the red carpet. YHC can say right now…the men of JC get it! They showed up ready to work and killed it. Mumblechatter was high and the camaraderie was instant with our F3 Tennessee brothers.

P-nut thanked everyone for coming out into the gloom. Read from 1 Thessalonians 5 and talked about how we can be the “light” and how to avoid “darkness.” Good things happen in the light, and we need to be the light in our homes, community and workplaces.

P-nut prayed us out.

Matthew 16:24-26 – Christ made the ultimate sacrifice in leaving his Heavenly throne and coming down to die on a cross to save us and give us true life in him. In response through our loving relationship with him, we are called to sacrifice ourselves and live for him above all. Everything else in this world will never be enough no matter much it tells us it will be. It will never satisfy or fulfill us. Christ is the only thing that can. By sacrificing ourselves to live in Christ in our new selves, we are given the ability through Christ to sacrifice ourselves in relationship with our families, friends, classmates, co-workers, and to share Christ by doing so. So let us not choose our on way or ourselves but choose the way of Christ. This is part of the core of being HIM (High Impact Man)!

MOLESKIN
The PAX took Monday morning by storm. They worked their tails off and never stopped moving. The encouragement from the PAX this morning was phenomenal, pushing each other and affirming the Q’s by their words and efforts. Running Cardiac Hill together is always great times with the PAX, conquering the feat together and encouraging one another at the top. Great effort to start the week!
