ANNOUNCEMENTS: F2 opportunity with Asylum guys.
Go Ruck quarterly ruck assessment is the first Saturday in August.

COT: Encourage and Honor people in your life. Romans 12:10 “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”

It is good to encourage and honor one another. It is good to do this in the different areas of our lives – at church, at home, at work, and here with our F3 brothers.

I will now take this opportunity to encourage you all, the Quacken PAX. From my experience since the beginning of the year, F3 is a good thing. I’d wager it’s been a good thing in your life as well, and so I encourage you that you are doing well by coming out and making your attendance regular. I’m thankful for the PAX in general accountability that I receive from the group. Knowing that somebody is going to be here every Monday and Wednesday leading a workout makes all the difference. My health and fitness have improved. I’m thankful to the PAX for the new friendships that I’ve made, and how we’re able to share our lives with each other especially with conversations during the Friday ruck. And, I’m thankful for the thoughtful, helpful words that the Q’s from the PAX share. I thank you all in the positive difference you make by showing up and being part of this F3 thing.

Specifically I want to honor Lizzy, Fixer Upper, and Wedding Singer. Here at the Quacken AO they Q frequently. Fixer Upper is QIC of Quacken AM and Lizzy is in over Quaken PM. It takes time and effort to lead these things and I’m thankful that they are doing it. As you probably know Q-ing a work out means planning, which that takes time and thought. Wedding singer Qs AM and PM workouts at the Quaken all-the-time. Its evident by his creative, fun Q’s that he is putting in work. He is investing in us and I am thankful for it.

That’s my word take opportunities to encourage and honor folks in your lives.

What an interesting life, to be a Leader

THE THANG:
Due to the rain, we met under the PAV-A-LON and did most of the workout there. Tabata style, mixture of arms, legs, and Abs, a bit Spirit-led. When the rain let up for a bit, we moseyed to the parking lot for some more spirit-led activities at the four corners, making sure to get our fronts and backs wet (hand release merkins and LBCs). Back to the PAV-A-LON to finish out the Tabata workout.
MARY: Wall sits until time.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Backblast Ap, F3 in the Nude a week from Saturday, 2nd F at Abacus’s that same day, FORGE coming up late September. Prayers for the Macon PAX and the family of our brother that fell there this week.
COT: Showed a Coach K video from the show The Bear that talks about leadership. Unfortunately , the video was too soft to hear, but the takeaways were as follows: 1. Success requires you to CHANGE YOUR LIMITS. NOT EASY!!
 Expect there to be bumps in the road. Failure.
 Don’t accept that Failure as your final destination. Change and adapt and get back at it.
 There’s definitely a fear factor here.

2. TEAMWORK. You can’t do it by yourself. Surround yourself with people that will help you succeed, not drag you back.
 Don’t confuse criticism (designed to help you improve) with negativity (holding you back)

3. LISTEN. Don’t just talk. CONVERSE
 Collaborate to find solutions. Not only will you be able to draw on others for ideas, but when you ask for and incorporate their advice, they become more invested too.

4. What an interesting life to be a leader. EMBRACE IT.
