We had a clear sky, meteors or shooting stars, and a fantastic sunrise. The discussion today was on courage, and the relationship to fear and how that balance impacts is. Each week proves to share wisdom and impact is in ways that apply daily. The application for me was for the discipline with what the Qsource calls the Queen which is the diet. Exercising discipline in this area can make you a more effective leader. For spellcheck, learning about grace , as defined in the qsource as this… when “Grace is keeping your head when everyone around you is losing theirs and blaming it on you.” This is applicable in his life presently, and the value of discussing this wisdom with Christ following men is proving to be invaluable!

Warmup: Started the mini Solo Stove to warm things up!

THE THANG:
Joy vs Happiness?
Which of these makes you more durable, softer? Is it true that the more happiness you get, the more you need, like a drug addiction?

Key Redirect: Is being discontent a bad thing? What are you discontent about? Are you discontent because you are complaining or because of a red flag?

Discontent can indicate that something is off mission. Provide specific examples of discontent to discuss – we ended up discussing IPC, because it is current and seems to cause some PAX in F3 Knoxville to not post. So, we considered, “Is it on mission for F3 and for F3 Knoxville?”
1. “Does it grow small workout groups for men?” – If not on mission, is it causing some PAX to not post? This will interrupt their consistency every September.
2. “Is not posting during IPC, an individual PAX problem or an IPC mission problem?”
3. “Do we need to disrupt the status quo of IPC to make it better serve F3 Knoxville?” – Maybe. Most important is to support each AOQ in what they do, Then consider alternatives that allow a longer time frame to complete each workout, maybe Saturday or nomad workouts in September.
4. “Do the workouts seem to be just bigger and badder or are they valuable as planned or does it matter?” Interesting discussion, no conclusions.

MARY: Because the depth of our discussions cannot be duplicated in a backblast:
1. Each work to build a VL mtg in proximity to our AO.
2. Think about framework for a Leadership Convergence. We have a great core of respondents from the Leadership Survey.
3. Seek more contributors for the 3rdF channel. Kudos to ExciteBike (Micah Stair) for posting recently.
4. Continue IPC discussion for F3 Knoxville to clarify why there is discontent and how to resolve the discontent if it is valid.

Q SIGNUPS had me down for the day, but I did not sign up, so we went with the calendar.

We warmed up and did a revised version of the no glove love workout, that focuses on lunges and wall squats. 10-1.

Then we did three rounds of 20 heels elevated squats, and split squats.

Next we grabbed blocks and repeated 3x the following:
20 good mornings
50 bench press
20 Curls

Finally we moseyed back to the flag where we did an ab exercise with 10 merkins in between until time expired. We all called one exercise and did 60 total merkins.

Back at it
