FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP:
Drank some coffee

THE THANG:
Spur…
When choosing leaders, experience matters
The best players do not always make the best coaches
The virtuous leader encourages other men to lead early and often

Always second guess your first response.

Most often our second response should be an apology.

Don’t teach how to be a “good man”.
Teach being good at being a man.

MARY:
More coffee added to my abdomen

Please take a few minutes to read this from All Pro Dad’s. They put out a lot of good stuff and you can sign up for emails if you’d like.

We had a great COT. Thanks to the men that opened up and shared! That’s what this is all about, and it’s awesome to find a sense of vulnerability.

In the end, God the ultimate Father loves us, and Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Regardless of how you were raised by your dad, or hw you’re doing or did, as a father, we can look to God’s Word for direction.

But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. [11] Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? [12] Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

COT:
“For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Encouraging: supporting someone, providing confidence and hope
Exhortation: stronger urging to action
Comforting: coming alongside someone and meeting them where they’re at, listening and giving them attention and love

Let’s be men that are intentional to encourage, exhort and comfort our kids and even everyone around us!
