Leadership Summit
Hardship Hill

COT:
Hardship Hill is a race that is fun and good for F3, but today I want to remind us all why we actually do it.

Hardship Hill raises money for Operation Enduring Warrior that supports combat disabled veterans. They come to the race from out of state and bring a team. Some of the veterans they serve will share their testimonies that are incredible.

Then, their able bodied team members will run the race in a Pro Mask (gas mask) that severely restricts their airflow and makes the task much harder. They do this to show us the hardships that our veterans deal with even if those wounds are invisible.

If you can’t attend the race, but want to support OEW, you can donate to them here: enduringwarrior.networkforgood.com/projects/114843-main-website-page

1 Timothy 6:10, Luke 18:18-27
Money is necessary, but we must be careful about our relationship with it. As Paul points out, money is not the root of evil, but the Love of money. This requires constant regrounding and cross checking. In my experience, one of the most helpful actions you can take to support a healthy relationship with money is to make giving your top priority.

COT:
The Barkley Marathons just finished up a couple of weeks ago with no finishers. Any long distance race requires a lot of training to be able to reach the finish line. These are endurance races, not sprints. Our lives are also not a sprint. The author of Hebrews has some words in spiritual endurance.
Hebrews 12:1-3 NASB1995
[1] Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, [2] fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. [3] For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Sin is one of those things that can slow us down and prevent us from reaching our spiritual goals. I encourage you to keep training! Build your endurance so that you may finish the race.
2 Timothy 4:7-8 NASB1995
[7] I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; [8] in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

Ezekiel 4:4-6 & 9-12 show God telling Ezekiel to do some very hard things that don’t have an apparent immediate benefit for anybody.

Have there been times in your life, or are you in one now, where things are hard or painful and it doesn’t seem to be for any good reason at all? Remember the promises from the Bible: God is in control. He knows the outcome. He controls the outcome. He has promised good outcomes for those who love Him and are called to his purpose.

Final thoughts: watch out for that Ezekiel bread…

One of the most amazing games of Ultimate Frisburpee took place as the good guys (my team) made a miraculous come from behind 20 point score to end the game. It was really not even close how great we played. There were a lot of burpees, great work after scores and huffing, puffing and hands on the knees to go around.
On the way back to the flag carrying our weight a Jailbreak was called and made it the best start to the day!

MARY: unfortunately not enough time

COT: Mark 9:14-24

This is the healing of a young boy with a mute spirit. I just now realized this directly after the transfiguration on the mount.
Jesus is approached by the father of the child who says the boy has been like this since early childhood and
“But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23 Jesus said to him, “If[d] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Q also shared the life of Takeshi Nagai who lived through the atomic bomb in Nagasaki and his journey through faith.

When you struggle with belief, when you feel sound in your beliefs, remember that He is the light and guidepost to keep you strong.
