This is the 50ish day follow up bootcamp from Pentecost workout that followed 50 days after Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. A life changing, world changing and eternity changing thing happened over those 50 days after the resurrection and the men of JUCO were invited to do some powerful in their lives with 50 days.

Updates as follows:

Love Shaq has been hitting up camps with his students to develop better relationships and has some professional development coming up later this summer that should equip him with some better tools for the classroom.

Fetch – Some journaling has happened but he wants to be more consistent with it.

Guardrail – Solid on pullups but injured his wrist doing hand walking. Wants to do better with encouragement and prayer.

Commission – This push has been just what I needed to kickstart the development I hope to build and everything is on track with the timeline I set.

COT:
My wife and I had a “staycation” this week. We took the kids to visit with grandparents, and I took a couple of days off from work. We get so busy in our day to day that we tend to forget how much of a blessing a wife is to us and our families. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages. Remember to thank her for her contributions to the family. Show her that you love her. Make time to spend with her. She needs to feel appreciated.

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

At church we’re going through a study called soundtracks. 🔈

What you see impacts what you hear 👂
What you hear impacts what you think 💭
What are the soundtracks in our lives?

Neither negative or positive situations or thoughts 💭 should take you away from God.

We need to learn and adjust the volume on the soundtracks in our lives.

COT:Continuing my study in Matthew, I just read the parable of the tares in chapter 13. Here is Jesus’ explanation to His disciples.
‭Matthew 13:36-43 NASB1995‬
[36] Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.” [37] And He said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, [38] and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; [39] and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels. [40] So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. [41] The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, [42] and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [43] Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Based on this, it is possible that there are tares among us in the Church itself. Notice that they are sown while the men of the farm were sleeping in the parable. They had their guard down. The tares remind me of Matthew 7:15 as well.
‭Matthew 7:15-16 NASB1995‬
[15] “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. [16] You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
We will know these individuals by their fruits. Keep watch, and don’t fall asleep on the job.

COT:
KickFlip was out a couple of weeks ago and he was reflecting on a message that Archie delivered… Coming to F3 does not make you a HIM. I agree with this statement. It doesn’t. There are also several HIMs that have never been to an F3 workout. We need to get them out here with us.

F3 also doesn’t count as church. ⛪️ If you’re here and don’t have a church you call home, I would personally like to invite you to Faith Promise where me and my family attend. There’s a spreadsheet floating around with a lot of our F3 brothers and the churches they belong to. So again, I encourage you to check it out, if you don’t have a church you call home.

I will say this though… Being out here in the gloom with these men is a great foundation and starting point. Surrounding yourselves with High Impact Men, is going to encourage you to strive to be one yourself. I know, because I’m speaking from experience. You push me to be my best, not only when I’m out here with you, but also when no one else is around. Thank you!
