COT:
Let’s normalize vulnerable.
I talked about pornography and ways that helped me deny that temptation. It starts with not watching people kissing in movies. You probably wouldn’t watch people make out in public, so why tune in digitally? When confronted with these scenes, fast forward or swipe through them. Consider preventing your mind from chasing the rabbit down that hole. It has worked to help me not look at pornography in over six months.

Matthew 16:24 Paraphrase: Deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow me (Jesus).

Where do you need to deny yourself so that you can follow Jesus?

COT:
STORY work – Dig into your past stories and relationships. These things directly impacted you and shaped who you are today. Our bodies and our brains process memory differently. They are still with you and how you operate. Find someone to share your story with to help you make sense of why your current life looks and feels the way that it does. You’ll experience healing and freedom along the way.

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago and I want to continue to challenge each of you to do 3 things:

1. Show up! Just get here. You and the group will grow stronger each morning you are present.

2. Sign up to Q. You are more than equipped to lead a morning workout. You woke up and got here today, and that was the hardest part. I think every man here brings something unique and valuable to our group. If you need help building a workout or want to co-Q, just reach out to me. Let’s get the calendar filled up.

3. Encourage others. Talk to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers about F3. I know it’s not for everyone, but every man needs this, and we all know it. Mention it, talk about what it means to you, and ask for a commitment to try it.

>From the excellent sermon Mouthwash delivered Sunday (www.podbean.com/ew/pb-x99x9-18b0705):

Joshua 10:12-14
[12] At that time Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
[13] And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.

Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. [14] There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel.

How big is your God? As for the God of the Bible: “He’s got the whole world in his hands.”
