CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
2nd Kings Chapter 20 tells the final story of Hezekiah. Two issues we see in his life are: he didn’t finish well, and perhaps his prosperity was his downfall. If you are unfamiliar with the story, the Lord grants him 15 extra years to his life after informing him he was going to die. Instead of spending them wisely, he ends up showing off his possessions to envoys from Babylon. Isaiah comes to him and prophesies that the same people will eventually destroy/conquer/deport Israel. King Hez’s response to this new is what is so disturbing. 2nd Kings 20:19 says, “Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, ‘The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good.’ For he thought, ‘Why not, if there will be peace and security in my days?'” The moral of the story is really if you want to finish well, then don’t focus on yourself and don’t get distracted by the physical possessions you have. Finishing well means preparing the next generation, and not just living for yourself in the here and now.

10 cones. Farthest Cone marked with 10 reps, next closest 20, then 30…all the way to 100 which were like right in front of us. Kick the soccer ball as far as you can then sprint as fast as you can to it. The farther you kick, the lest reps you do when you return. Same with throwing the disc golf disc and dragging the weighted bag. This continued in cycles for about 20 min

Soccer Ball – Lunges
Disc Golf – Merkins
Weighted Bag – Big Boy Sit-ups

Part 2 – Scrimmage Match

Split into 2 teams and we played on a very small field (I brought small goals). 20 min match.

Scoring Team – 5 Star Jacks
Scored on Team – 5 Burpees
Out of bounds sidelines (all players) – 4 side crunch each side 10 min, then 2 T-Merkins each side for 10 min
Out of bounds goal lines (all players) – 3 Big Boy Sit-ups for 10 min, then 3 merkins for 10 min

The ball goes out of bounds a lot so we get some good work in.

6 PAX. Loafers from down range. Great to have you all week!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reading a book called “Living Fearless”. Highly recommend.

From what I can tell, at the core of the book is this concept of 3 different identities we can assume. The fake, the real, and the true.

The fake is the identity that takes the least faith to live in. It’s all the lies we accept about ourselves like, “I’m not good enough for X,” or “I’m just a nobody so it doesn’t mater what I do.”

The real identity is tricky, because it can sound very genuine, like repentance, but it just sort of stops there. It says, “Man, I looked at porn again this week and am really struggling to do better,” but it just says that, week after week.

The true identity is the one that takes the most faith to live in, and is the hardest to believe. It is the identity of what God made us to be. It’s a higher calling, and it’s something that can only be discovered and maintained through Christ and through careful dedication to the word and to honest prayer that seeks a true answer. One that helps us with our everyday activities.

I’m not doing the book justice, so just go read it. At first, the book rubbed me the wrong way, but now I see that I was being challenged on things I needed to be challenged on and now I see it was rubbing me the right way.
