MOLESKIN:
Talked about “Grit”.  A book by Andrea Duckworth of the same name.  discussed her take on how success is determined more on your effort and hard work than mere talent.  It’s a mindset.  Setting good habits.  We talked about being disciplined and how we need to display grit in all areas of our life.  To not be complacent.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
F3 is lots of opportunities to have adventures. Slipping and sliding on Skunk hill in the snow. Running up and down Everest and dragging logs around the parking lot with mumblechatter and stargazers. I do all these things not to keep fit, but to say that I’ve done it. And to have done it next to you guys. Because that makes us friends. And those adventures makes us the sort of friends who’ll say “Nice Hat. You look like a Dickhead.”

The teachers I’ve learned the most from didn’t think they were teaching me, they just thought we were friends.  Bob Goff

Talked about what it looks like to truly share your faith.  We are all messy people.  We aren’t professionals at our faith.  God calls us to be friends and share our own experiences we’ve had with our creator.  In all our mess.  If we’re waiting to share our faith when we feel we’ve got it all together, we never will.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Spoke on John Chapter 18 vs 36 Where Christ is being quizzed by Pilot about who he is and Christ reply’s “My kingdom is not of this world.  If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that  might not be delivered over to the Jews.  But My kingdom is not of this world.”

If anyone should have felt hopeless it was Jesus in that situation.  He was going to be tortured and killed, and he knew it.  Yet he knew it wasn’t the end for him.  That his kingdom is not of this world and neither should ours be.  That evil may when for a short time, but our God triumphs over it in the end.  So we should be hopeful not hopeless in our times of trial, because we were made for something bigger.
