Paw Patrol from F3 Alliance in Fort Worth was DR today
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today marks one year with F3. I was lost before I joined. I am truly a changed man today because of F3 and then men I have met in the gloom. I’m so thankful for the men that started this group so guys like me that did not know we needed F3 could find it. I’m also thankful for the men that keep grinding to keep it going so the next man out there that finds F3 can experience the same change to their lives. I’m a better man, husband, father, son, and leader today because of F3.
MOLESKIN:
Just happy to be part of an amazing group of men.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I spoke about hearing a wife say that she didn’t want to leave her husband behind in the faith. When thinking about F3, the whole phrase of “leave no man behind, and no man where you found him” really resonates with me. I think I appreciate it so much because I feel like it reminds me of how God pursues lost sinners like me. I read from most of Isaiah 53 which talks about all the things that Jesus does for us. He carries our sorrows, He was numbered with us as transgressors, He died to make intercession for us. The challenge I left us with is we need to fight against the temptation to leave behind our wives, children, and friends when it comes to faith.

MOLESKIN:
I am not a planner and that’s ok. I admire those that plan ahead and are well organized but don’t think you have to have everything planned out before you make a decision. Sometimes it’s good to just commit and then figure it out .
