The Word: Psalm 46:9-11

9 

He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.

10 

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 

The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

John 16:33

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

 I love hearing the all powerful statements from both God the Father in the Old Testament and from Jesus in the New Testament. 

I just want to encourage you men to lean on this all powerful God that created the universe.

From Q Source:

“The Pursuit Of Proper Personal Alignment – A man must Get Right before he can do anything else

To understand the Get Right, picture a man vigorously rowing a boat across a fast moving stream. If it suddenly capsizes so that the keel is skyward, the man would have to right it–return it to its upright position–before he could continue rowing. Until he did that he could not make headway against the current and get his boat to the far bank. At best, he would be simply trying to survive, clinging to his capsized boat as it was pushed by the current to points unknown downstream.

Now apply this image to the life of a man. If he has become (or always was) un-Right, he cannot make headway in any aspect of his life. The fast moving current of his surrounding circumstances will sweep him yon while he clings desperately to the hull of his overturned boat. Worse, his Concentrica –the passengers that he is charged to bring safely to the far bank–will be right there in the water with him, helpless because their husband, father and boss can do little more than focus on his own survival. Before he can help them, or himself, he has to Right his boat.”

“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12

  • A man must Get Right before he can do anything else
  • An unfit man is a slave to his lack of self-control
  • To be able to help others, a man must first help himself

THA-THANG:
The work out involved 1 HIM flipping a giant tire while the rest of the PAX spun a wheel and randomly selected 1 of the 8 workouts below. When the PAX completed each exercise they then would pick of the person flipping the tire and then another member would begin flipping such tire and it was rinse and repeat

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Use the TAGS on right-side to record PAX (BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOURSELF) in attendance. Be sure to select the AO in CATEGORY above TAGS and then delete these notes!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
During the workout a variety of different songs were played. Anything from hip hop, to classic rock, and even country. All the songs had a similar theme though and it was about tires, traveling, wheels etc. One point to take away is that just like the variety of songs F3 is a variety of different men who come together for one thing and that is to get better as men together.  Also the tire represents the fact that alot of us are “tire”d of something right now whether it be mandates, job loss, family issues or anything. Just like at a workout we all need to know that we will get through what ever we are tired of and will be stronger for it.
