BOM
“King. Warrior. Mentor. Friend.  Four pillars of a manly heart.  Every man is commissioned by his Creator…
to provide, as a Servant-King
to protect, as a Tender Warrior
to teach, as a Wise Mentor and
to connect, as a Faithful Friend

– Stu Weber, The Four Pillars of a Man’s Heart

I’ve recently picked up a book I read a long time ago, “The Four Pillars of a Man’s Hear” by Stu Weber.  In the book Weber presents that all men four core pillars that support and give shape to their masculinity: King, Warrior, Mentor and Friend.  The transformation from boyhood to manhood is about growing and stewarding these masculine energies.

Part of what I experience in the mornings at F3 is an awakening of my warrior.  Pushing hard, struggling, embracing the suck…all that reminds me that I am alive and made to move, to have impact.  This is a good thing, a needed thing.  I’ve also noticed that sometimes I bring the warrior home and relate to my family from that place.  Usually not what they need.  What my family needs is for me to be a King.  One who lovingly leads and serves them.  Every King is a warrior, but not every warrior is a King.  The King channels the Warrior’s energy so that it is productive and life giving.

Today I want to challenge ALL of us to enter back into our world as Kings.  Speak life to those around you.  Play the man…be a king!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We all struggle.  Embracing that struggle builds character.  Lean on faith and family to help us through, and remember God’s words in 2 Cor 12: “My power is made perfect in weakness.”  And Paul’s rejoinder:  “For when I am weak, I am strong.”

31 PAX including one FNG: Kyle Baisley email: [email protected]
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Discussed how we all face suffering in this life and that just like going up and down cardiac it can be very difficult. On cardiac we could persevere because we had brothers pushing us and encouraging us and we knew the workout was going to end. In life as Christians we endure suffering and face many trials. We are able to face these trials because we have hope in eternity with Christ and we have other Christian brothers and sisters who help encourage us and carry these burdens. Encouraged the PAX to go out and help carry burdens of those suffering and to remind those suffering of the fact that we have an eternal hope and that their suffering won’t last forever.
