9 PAX came out and did WORK on a muggy Tuesday afternoon. Great, spirited mumblechatter.

BOM
P-nut read from Daniel 3 and told the story of Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego. King Nebuchadnezzar threw them into the fiery furnace because of their faith in God and their refusal to worship any pagan gods. God took care of them and didn’t allow them to be harmed in the fire. P-nut reminded the PAX that God still protects us today from hardship and strife- if we submit AND commit to Him.

P-nut took prayer requests, including Hooker’s uncle and prayers of praise for P-nut’s son, JT (ankle healing).

MOLESKIN
The PAX came ready to sweat. Proton and Woodshack arrived in similar antique Jeeps and matching F3 shirts. The other 7 members of the PAX were instantly reminded that they were in the presence of the West Knoxville “cool kids.” I think that they called one another to match vehicles and outfits.

God loves you and I do too.

Merkin Ring of Fire
The exercise begin with a clockwise bear crawl until the Q stopped the PAX. Typically this was halfway around the circle.

The PAX formed two lines for another Hallelujah Indian Run back to the AO. They retrieved two coupons on the way back.  Back at the AO, the PAX again circled up to prepare for a Squat Ring of Fire

Squat Ring of Fire
The PAX started by lunging counter clockwise.

At the Q’s leading the PAX stopped for a round of Jump Squats. Each PAX did 10 Jump Squats while the remaining PAX cheered him while holding an Al Gore.

Another round of lunging was completed followed by a Star Jump Ring of Fire.

Abs
PAX laid on his back on the ground. His arms were extended over his head to grab the 2 coupons. With straight arms the coupons were extended over the body to the waist at a slow pace focusing on stabilizing with the core.

Quickbooks brought to light inconsistency in his life. The effects of his own striving in every corner of his life.

Quickbooks encouraged us to seek the Lord while he can be found and to fully surrender to the Lord. Fight for Steadfast faithfulness and lean on each other.

We’re failures as men if we do not love our wives and children. The legacy we leave behind is dependent on how we handle the first two rings of #Concentrica. As Christians, we’re called to live a life worthy of our calling (Ephesians 4).

 

MOLESKIN
On a warm day, the PAX stayed disciplined and completed some high intensity workouts with little rest. Morale and the temperature climbed as we got better together at #TheAsylum. We were happy to have an FNG and Little Mike from Charlotte.

Do not be Anxious – Matthew 8:25-34

I have been challenged recently with some uncertainty about what I am going to do when I grow up.

And as I have been going through these I have realized that much of what I have been about achieving and experiencing and measuring my worth based on that.

And as with many of us I have struggled to trust Gods timing.   I think we have all be programed by the world to want answers now when that may not necessarily be God’s timing.   I have been prayerful and seeking his truths about this but I often find myself falling back into the same old desires and habits.   It should be easy right? God says to trust him so I should. I think our desire is to want the easy button.

Now tell me that one more time again God. What is the recipe?   I read a book, the bible, or hear a great sermon, or list to Captain and P-Nut. I want to be that and put it into action but still fall back into the same traps of wanting to accumulate more

MOLESKIN
Cool morning morning at the Asylum provided a great setting for the PAX work hard.  Spirits were high as always and we ended with group prayer for several PAX members.  Cap’n Crunch also announced that there will be devotions on biblical manhood on Wednesday mornings for those interested.
