CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thinking about the pain and sickness in our lives should remind us that this is not our home! We will one day stand before the Lord and hear those words, “Well done good, and faithful servant.” – we must remember that the Good and Faithful is not because we did those things, in fact, most of our lives are opposites of that. But Christ is the perfect sacrifice he died once and for all! It’s his perfect righteousness that we live under and are clothed by that God see! We didn’t earn it!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I am grateful to the Brothers that come out and push me to get better physically every day.  God also calls us to push each other and support each other spiritually through prayer by lifting up our brothers.

James 5:13-18

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

As in the verses above God continually shows us in scripture that He intends for us to be in community with other believers.  God uses community to build and strengthen us, Satan uses isolation to destroy.   Make a commitment this week to pray for the brothers that were to the left and right of you today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In 2 Timothy, Paul writes a very familiar passage stating that he has fought the good fight and finished the race.  In relating that to modern day F3 – today was the first cold morning of the fall season.  Long sleeves were out in abundance.  My challenge to the PAX was to not let the upcoming cold season be a barrier to getting better each day.  Keep setting the alarm, keep pressing forward, keep showing up.  Champions are made when it’s cold.  When I am older I want to look back on my life and say I gave it all I had…..that means leaning into the hard situations and dealing with sometimes miserable circumstances.  If we keep leaning in and don’t give up, we will also be able to say that we have indeed fought the good fight and finished the race strong.  Don’t let the winter weather turn you into a Fartsacker!!

MOLESKIN:
HIM…..HIgh Impact Man but as detention said so well on one of his Qs. HIM also stands for:

H= Humble. Be humble and don’t put your self first. I= Invest, invest in others that surround you. As we invest in our selves during the workout, hopefully it will give us the ability to invest in others. M= Mentally Tough. You have to be Mentally tough and be strong to be humble and invest in others. This is always on my mind ever since Detention talked about being a HIM one morning. Its something I take we me everyday and try to apply in all that I do.

THANK YOU DETENTION!! You are a HIM
