COT:
STORY work – Dig into your past stories and relationships. These things directly impacted you and shaped who you are today. Our bodies and our brains process memory differently. They are still with you and how you operate. Find someone to share your story with to help you make sense of why your current life looks and feels the way that it does. You’ll experience healing and freedom along the way.

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago and I want to continue to challenge each of you to do 3 things:

1. Show up! Just get here. You and the group will grow stronger each morning you are present.

2. Sign up to Q. You are more than equipped to lead a morning workout. You woke up and got here today, and that was the hardest part. I think every man here brings something unique and valuable to our group. If you need help building a workout or want to co-Q, just reach out to me. Let’s get the calendar filled up.

3. Encourage others. Talk to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers about F3. I know it’s not for everyone, but every man needs this, and we all know it. Mention it, talk about what it means to you, and ask for a commitment to try it.

Goodnight Ruck

>From the excellent sermon Mouthwash delivered Sunday (www.podbean.com/ew/pb-x99x9-18b0705):

Joshua 10:12-14
[12] At that time Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
[13] And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.

Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. [14] There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel.

How big is your God? As for the God of the Bible: “He’s got the whole world in his hands.”

The Best Sunrise In America (BSIA), as it’s billed at Asylum, was on full display as we moved this group back outside.

This week we covered the final chapter in Get Right, 1.12 Meeting. There was tremendous discussion as always, and the six of us are better for not only attending, but sharing and learning more about how to be better leaders.

Here is a CHATGPT Summary of this chapter of the Qsource.

Summary of “The Public Manifestation of Faith”
This piece emphasizes the importance of publicly expressing one’s faith, particularly through communal gatherings, as a means to strengthen belief, hold leaders accountable, and leave a lasting legacy.

Faith in Community
Faith is most effectively nurtured in the company of others. Engaging in communal activities, such as attending services, allows individuals to:
– Strengthen their belief system
– Support and be supported by fellow believers
– Hold spiritual leaders accountable
– Experience personal growth through service to others
Despite logistical challenges, the act of meeting together serves a purpose beyond personal comfort—it is a practice that accelerates faith and fosters leadership virtues.

The Role of Leadership and Candor
Effective leadership is rooted in virtue and the consistent application of one’s belief system. A virtuous leader is characterized by:
– Competence in practicing their faith
– Commitment to truth
– Willingness to confront difficult truths
Candor, the ability to graciously tell and hear hard truths, is essential for leaders. The presence of committed individuals in communal settings encourages leaders to speak boldly and uphold accountability.

Leaving a Legacy
A lasting legacy is built through consistent practice of faith and leadership virtues. By publicly manifesting faith, individuals contribute to a community that supports and holds each other accountable, ensuring that the impact of their beliefs endures beyond their lifetime.

In essence, the public manifestation of faith is not merely about personal edification but about contributing to a community that upholds truth, supports leadership, and leaves a lasting legacy.
