CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Through my transition from individual contributor to a leadership position at work, it has required me to reconsider how I look at my output in order for the team to succeed. It is required for me to anticipate hurdles and roadblocks that may come up for my team members and support them to be successful in spite of these challenges. I encouraged all of the PAX to reach out to others around them and offer support when they are struggling physically and emotionally. #ISI

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The common denominator in all of these mass shootings, and the sexual misconduct violations are that all of the perpetrators are MEN. It’s men that are hurting our women and children. It stresses the importance of pulling men out of isolation and into community.

MOLESKIN:

With all of my mis-q’s today it felt like a VQ. I’m thankful for you men that I consider brothers. Thankful for your support and your leadership. Iron truly sharpens Iron.

BOM

Be a part of a men’s group and you will be a better believer. As part of mine I am leading a session on wives next week. My first thought was to go into the Word and see what God said about wives. He says:

Proverbs 18:22

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.”

Ephesians 5:25

“Husbands love your wife as Christ loved the church.”

I can honestly say I haven’t always been the best husband. Or at least the husband my wife deserves. Thankfully she hasn’t caught on that she could do better… but if I am supposed to love her like Christ loved the church, it means I’m supposed to be kind to her, fight for her, pray for her, lead her, and love her with all my heart. Thankfully God and wives forgive us when we don’t do as we should.

And while I believe that Valentine’s Day is a holiday made up by card, chocolate, and flower companies to offset their losses during the holiday season, we are supposed to show our wives how much we love them tomorrow, I encourage you to not let it just be tomorrow, but everyday.

We joke about the inspiration book for today, “Women’s Heath Little Book of Exeecises”, and the pictures in the book, we shouldn’t compare our wives to other women. It does us no good to compare our wives to 20 year 0% body fat cheerleaders. We need to stop looking at this pictures, or phones, or other women at all, and love our wives for who they are and what Christ sees in them.

So go home hug your wives and really tell them how much they mean to you and how much you love them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Have your wife’s back.  My wife and I had a fight this week that centered around her feeling that I didn’t have her back in a certain situation.  The scenario had to to with our kids and I basically let her be the “bad cop” without stepping in to help her out.  Lesson of the week:  cover your wife’s 6 at all times!
