THE THANG:
sandbags of 80, 60, 60, 40, 20 lbs were at the 10 yard line. Teams were divided into two groups of 6. One team stood in the end zone, the other at the 20.

A value was assigned to each sandbag as well as a specific exercise. One member from each team took a asandbag from the pile, carried it to their zone, did the requisite exercises and recorded the points. Then the next man for each team took a turn. You could take a bag from the middle, or steal it from the opposing team. While the sandbags were being carried, the rest of the PAX alternated calling exercises and performing those until another exercise was called.

COT:
This workout had some hard components, like using an 80lb sandbag. I think we are better and more prepared in life for tryin hard things. The word endure means to make durable, and doing things like F3 make us tougher, more prepared, and ultimately more durable for the hard things we encounter in life.

Also, I linked a backblast form 7/26/2019 when I was an FNG. I did not do the workout because I didn’t like anymore today than I di on that day, but I kept coming back, and 6 years later, I am still doing hard things. Backblasts are important as they record who attended and what we did, and that makes a great reference point for us to be able to reflect back upon and as a reminder of the hard things we have done.

COT:
I’m sure you all know that as men we are called to be the spiritual leaders of our homes. What that may look like for each of us is probably different. Some of you all may be very good at it, some may struggle with it like I do.

I want to read a piece of a devotional I recently received:

Spiritual headship is not license to do what you want to do but rather empowerment to do what you ought to do. The power that comes with a man’s role as spiritual leader is not a pass to abuse, demean, or lord over but to shepherd, care for, and discipline in love. A servant leader takes initiative for the benefit of others. 

Men, your leadership in your family is a sacred responsibility for which God is going to hold you accountable. You will answer to him one day for how you stewarded your role as spiritual head of your family.

Gen 3: 6-9 says

“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. …vs 8… Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?””
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The devotional goes on to say Genesis 3 shows us that humanity’s fall happened through a failure of the man to lead. It says Adam was “with” the woman when she ate, which means he just stood there, wondering if God’s warning not to eat from that tree was true.

Good husbands provide food and shelter for their families. Godly men are servant leaders who take responsibility for the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of their families. Boys take, but men give. Boys blame, but men own. Boys stiffen their necks, but men bend their knees.

So my encouragement or challenge is if you feel you are doing a good job then keep it up and share your knowledge with those of us that may be struggling. And if you are struggling, keep working at it and seek help from other men you respect.

COT:
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV):

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

Inspirational Message:

Don’t lose hope, even when life feels heavy! Your body may tire, but your spirit is growing stronger every day through God’s grace. The struggles you face now are fleeting and pale in comparison to the incredible, eternal glory awaiting you. Keep your focus on the unseen promises of God—His love, His purpose, and His forever kingdom. Let these truths lift your soul and inspire you to press forward with courage and faith, knowing that every step brings you closer to a glory that will never fade!

COT:
We can live a life of honor on the outside, if we live with joy on the inside.

Joy is our job. We speak life!

I went to Dollywood yesterday with my family. We had some passes we traded for concert tickets last year. When we got to the gate, they wouldn’t scan… We were advised to go to the ticket booth to figure it out. They told us the tickets had already been used. Now what?!
I was confused and angry. My family was upset. I chose joy. I went to the ticket booth and purchased 4 tickets and paid a lot more than I was expecting.

We had a blast ???? I rode roller coasters with my wife and kids. My youngest is 8, so this was a new experience. I don’t know if it was because we were there during the week, or the weather was predicted to be dicey, but the lines were short. We stayed all day and watched the fireworks and drone show last night. It was amazing ????

When we choose joy as our job, we show up, we don’t shut down.

When joy is our job, we do not cover, we confront!

“ Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.”
-Romans 12:10
