CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The return of the IronPAX Challenge had me reflecting on how difficult those workouts were. It also caused me to remember how much I struggled in workouts in general and how the challenge, as well as being more consistant, helped me become more comfortable with harder exercises. This also reminded me of something we talked about with my students last year. The Hebrew word Zakar as a verb means to remember, but as a noun it means man. So when Genesis explains that man is made in God’s image, there is a correlation between our identity as “zakar” (man) and our call to “zakar” (remember) God. I encouraged us to remember and reflect on where we’ve been and who we are, to remember God, and also to consider the IronPAX challenge because it will inevitably kick all our butts

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Shared how recently on campus trying to recruit new students to our ministry I caught myself feeling anxious and timid when initiating with new faces. I found myself worrying about whether or not they would like me, if I was interrupting them, or if they felt annoyed by me. This reminded me of one of my favorite verses, 2 Timothy 1:7, which says that God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline. So I’ve been reminding myself that the Spirit that lives inside me is one that loves the students I’m engaging with, and when that isn’t enough to motivate me forward, the Spirit gives me the self-discipline I need to move forward anyways. I encouraged us to take that same attitude into anywhere else we might be feeling anxious or a tendency to remain inactive or passive

Recycled word from when I did this workout at Big Ball

I mentioned at the start of the workout that I didn’t come up with this, and that it was actually a workout I hopped in on with one of the AO’s in Nashville a few weeks ago while visiting family. Building off of Swanson’s encouragement to seek out and be willing to receive accountability, I encouraged us to couple that with seeking to also learn from others, both here and from outside sources or people outside of our normal circles. Like I had mentioned, I learned this workout from another AO and would never have thought of it on my own, and I tend to pay attention to others’ Q’s and take note of what I like and incorporate them into my own workouts. Supposedly Einstein is quoted saying that when we stop learning is when we start dying, so let’s go out of our way to learn from one another and not become complacent with what we know
