CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
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.

Today I’m discussing the 10th pillar: Teachable
The verse for this pillar is John 14:26

“But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”
John 14:26 NLT

Always be open!! We need to have a passion to learn and intention to learn daily.
Let’s reflect on what we learn and most importantly apply it!
If it doesn’t work out, cause sometimes it won’t… What did we learn from it?

Gentlemen I encourage you to have a growth mindset.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Gal 2:20 Now…REPEAT the full routine – starting over with your rep count
I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me
and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave His life for me.

From AW Tozer, Crucified Life: last time I spoke of living the crucified life – it has a currency. We have to give some things up. Pay something.  This is not salvation – Jesus Christ paid that price in full, but for our sanctification, it costs something.
We looked at Fun
Also consider: Safety |Convenience |Popularity| Worldly Success

Let me be clear, these are not things we have to give up – but if God asked us to, would we.
Would we write the check that says.
All our security and safety?

It would be safer to be at a gym where no one is going to ask you to lead
It would be safer to store up more treasures on earth in case things fall apart in the future
It would be safer to stay in comfortable, familiar settings and not risk it

It would be safer to not go on that missions trip.

It would have been safer for Bonhoeffer to stay in England and not fight the evil of Nazi Germany.
But God calls us to live the crucified life because it is worth it. Eternity is on the line

  • At the bottom we will perform the following exercises with a CMU: bicep curls, triceps and over-head press. We started at 20 and decrease by 2 each time.

We were not able to complete the whole ladder due to timing restrictions :).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

It’s been right at one year since I led my first F3 Q. Over that time, several things have changed in my life. I’m now a father of 3. I’ve changed jobs. Despite the changes in my personal and home life, F3 has been a constant steady source of encouragement, wisdom and physical strengthening.

I’ve participated in a convergence at JUCO, a CSAUP at The Asylum, Brolympics, and a memorial Q for Cardinal. Every one of these events was a ton of fun, but there’s something deeper just below the surface if you take a minute to pause, look for, and appreciate it.

Each of you here has that thing within you and I know it because you are here this morning. You set an alarm, you got up and drove here when most people are still in bed. You were intentional.

Intentionality is one of the things F3 has given me over the last year. I’m by no means perfect but I’m better than I was before.

My challenge to you this morning is to pick one part of your life and be more intentional in pouring into it the rest of the week. It could be your marriage, a friendship, your children or maybe even a hobby for yourself. Whatever it is, be intentional because that’s how change is made and that’s how we get better.
