COT/BOM

Some words were spoken about honoring others in your life.

Honor says “Where do I position myself to bring the best out of you,” not “What do I expect you to do for me”. 

“To show honor to someone is grace in action. Be excellent at handing out pockets of grace as people learn and grow, particularly when mistakes happen.”

“Honor is not about a person’s performance but their value in the image of God.”

I truly look forward to these terrible workouts because I get to do it with you. Yes I want to be in shape, but more importantly I want to continue building friendships with you guys. Thank you for showing up and please continue to reach out to friends and strangers to invite them here.

Shamrock Memorial Day


It was a lowkey day, only three showed up and we went around campus and performed our favorite workouts in different areas of campus.  During our BOM, we took time to reflect and remember that it is Memorial day and being free comes with a cost.
