CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
At our church’s family retreat this weekend one of the speakers discussed the differences in the needs of men and women, specifically as they relate to marriage. The top 5 emotional needs for men and women are very different and when we don’t take that into consideration in our marriages it is easy to neglect the needs of our spouses. Below are the top needs identified by the author of His Needs, Her Needs:

Become aware of each other’s needs and learn to meet them.

  • Men’s 5 most basic needs from his wife:
    • Sexual fulfillment
    • Recreational companionship
    • An attractive spouse
    • Domestic support
    • Admiration
  • Women’s 5 most basic needs from her husband:
    • Affection
    • Conversation
    • Openness and honesty
    • Financial security
    • Family commitment

MOLESKIN:
Thanks to Judge Judy and Erector for performing Laredo with me before the workout (Judge’s idea) so that I could help proctor the challenge. I definitely saw guys pushing themselves harder than normal today. Good push men!

Proverbs 27:17
As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

As men we need to be pushed and challenged by other men. Each of us is iron, but that does not mean each of us is the same. You cannot sharpen a sword with another sword, you must sharpen a sword with a file. There are many times in our lives where we need to be the sword, being sharpened by the men around us, but we will also need to be the file to sharpen our brothers as needed. This process is not just physical, it includes mental and emotional aspects as well. At our AOs we all have different skills and abilities, we need to be willing to use those to lift up our brothers when needed, push and pull them along, and even be confrontive and abrasive as necessary to equip our brothers to be the leaders they need to be.

MOLESKIN:

As I take the AO Q over from A-Rod, I think over the past year and 8 months since I started attending F3 at the Brickyard. I am not the same man I was when I started. I am stronger physically yes, but also mentally and emotionally. I am willing to step into the hard leadership situations as a direct result of Qing a group of men in the gloom. I never thought a post on Facebook would change my life as it has, I am grateful that A-Rod took the chance to start the AO at Brickyard. He is a true HIM that has definitely impacted the men of Powell in a positive way.
