THE THANG:
To the football field. Each Pax got a card from the F3 workout deck with the remainder of the deck being chance cards. Starting at the goal line, do the exercise on the card for the reps + yard line. Then mosey to the opposite side (Bernie to get back). Goal line ->goal line -> opposite 10 -> 10-> etc until the 50 (15 second stargazer) then work back out to the goal lines.
MARY: back at the flag continued drawing from the deck doing exercise at dictated reps

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayers : Freefall’s mother, Guardrail looking for a new employment opportunity, son of Cardinal adapting to a new school and the still recent losses of father and grandfather, curveball’s father is having cataract surgery.

COT: There is no pride in struggling alone.
There was a town that had a large storm on the way. It was expected to produce mass flooding. News alerts for the area urged residents to evacuate. One man however choose to stay and putting his faith in God saying ‘I know the Lord will take care of me.’ The storm arrives and floods began while emergency crews swept the town and urged him to evacuate, but he stayed and said ‘I know the Lord will take care of me.’ As the town began was flooding he retreated to his upstairs and a boat came up to rescue him. He again said ‘I know that the Lord will take care of me.’ The flood waters continued to rise and the man was sitting on his roof. A helicopter comes by and begs the man leave, but he just says ‘I know the Lord will take care of me.’ Eventually the flood rises and the man perishes. The man asks God why didn’t you protect me when I put all my faith in you until death?! God replied ‘I gave you news alerts and emergency crews, I sent a boat and a helicopter, why didn’t you accept the help I provided?’
We sometimes want our answers to feel miraculous or to happen how we want them, when the real help we need is found in much more ordinary ways. We need to humble ourselves to the Lord and ask for help, but also have open eyes in the ways he provides for us.
This group is a great example of what the Lord has provided to us when we are in need. Do not struggle alone, let the group know when you are having a tough time, so that we can serve and help you through.

Trust is built by Transparency, Empathy, and Consistency.
Transparency – When communication decreases, uncertainty increases. Better to disappoint with a hard truth than to deceive with a lie.
Empathy – Talk less, listen more. Your team will never care about your mission if you don’t care about your team.
Consistency – It’s not what you do occasionally that matters, but what you do consistently.
To earn trust, you have to give trust.
The best way to figure out if you can trust someone is to trust them.
You may be disappointed if you trust too much, but you will always be limited if you don’t trust enough.

Societal trust is as low as it has ever been. People default to distrust. Thus, we must be more intentional about building it. Go first in trust. Be transparent about your weaknesses. And remember that the three most important ingredients for success are consistency, consistency, and consistency.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Biohack is the new AOQ!!! BFF at Quanken Saturday, Dad Camp the next week, Forg3 in September.
COT:
The Q source provides us with Leadership Competencies (Vision, Articulation, Persuasion, and Exhortation) and Virtues (Candor, Commitment, Consistency, Contentment, and Courage), but ahead of these things, there is a fundamental reality – Trust. Without Trust, there can be no Team, and without a Team there is no Leader. While Trust-worthiness might be guessed at by evaluating the other leadership traits, there is only one way to truly get Trust – the Stress Test. Trust only truly develops when a man stands with you under stress and does not give way. Though I could speak on Biohack’s leadership traits, what gives me greatest confidence in his success is the Trust that I have in him, having stood with me in many gaps and proven himself reliable. So it is with no hesitation that I step aside to give him the lead of this fine and flourishing AO.
