ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. We are in the midst of an election. Early voting is going on right now. Election Day is November 5th. Being a leader, a high impact man should include participation in elections.

Women have voted at higher rates than men in every presidential election since 1980, with the gap between women and men growing slightly larger with each successive election. In 2020 nearly 55% of votes were cast by women.

There are slightly more adult women than men in the U.S. women are also slightly more likely to be registered to vote (70% of women to 68% of men)

I’m not here to tell you how to vote… I am here to strongly urge you to participate in this election. Vote! Prioritize it. Plan for it. Do it. AND THEN encourage other men to do so as well.

AND IF YOU HAVE THE BACKBONE or stomach for it, you could even run for office.

COT:
We’ve talked a lot about doing hard or uncomfortable things lately. We should do this both in and out of a workout. Barna has several studies that show that 98% of Millennial Christians believe they are called to bear witness about Jesus, 96% believe trusting Jesus is the most important thing anyone can, but then 47% believe it is morally wrong to share your beliefs with someone who disagrees. I think a huge reason that nearly half of Millennial Christians say it’s wrong to evangelize isn’t because they actually believe it is wrong, but because they believe it is difficult. Let’s be willing to do the difficult thing of bearing witness about the One we believe to be true and worthwhile.
