“Where is God at work in your life?” a mentor asked me one day. I didn’t know what to say. He made a compelling argument that for every man, God is standing in the middle of our fear, inviting us to run towards it.

Part of being a High Impact Man is rejecting passivity. Oftentimes as men we avoid/shrink back/check out when things get stressful, overwhelming or intimidating. We must choose to reject that natural tendency of passivity and step towards that fear knowing that God will meet us in the middle of it!

Challenge: Where is God inviting you into your fear today?

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,” Colossians 3:22-23 ESV

Red Writer said that he is a recovering people pleaser. He talked about how part of being a H.I.M. (High Impact Man) is rejecting passivity. It’s easy for us as men to either check out of the mundane things or shrink back from the things that make us feel intimidated, pressured and afraid. But as men we must refuse to be passive and live our life on purpose and with greater purpose. That greater purpose is always found when we lift our heads up out of our boredom and stress, and see that we have a Heavenly Father and His gaze is always on us. He sees our weakness, he sees our frustration, he sees our fear; and He still loves us. His gaze and his unconditional love is the fuel that drives us in the mundane and the stress, to stay engaged and reject passivity.

“I always feel it well just to put a few words of prayer between everything I do” -Spurgeon

– Proverbs 3:31 Don’t envy violent people or copy their ways (NLT)
– Do not model your behavior after people with poor reaction to emotional or bad circumstances. We have all been there and we have all reacted poorly whether it be a violent use of language in traffic or at home or whenever but remember that this bleeds over into our family and others we are influencing. We are human and make mistakes but try to take a breath amidst the scurry and ask for humility, patience, and strength along with God’s mercy and grace. We are all a high impact man to someone!

1 Cor. 9:24-27
Points to reflect on:
1.) Be self-disciplined and run for the eternal prize
2.) We do not have to run this race alone.  We have Jesus Christ as our savior and He also gives us each other.  We are here for our brothers to run this race and be leaders in our homes, work, etc.  In society it is being pushed to be individualistic but an OG is there to have his brother’s six at all times and help each other.

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.
