FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
Today 9 men came together, 5 ran, and 4 rucked, for one hour, and then followed that up with coffee, donuts, and intentional conversation about how to “unlock” more men. This term comes from several F3 sources, and we will be hosting OTB workouts in this manner to dive deeper into the topic, and how to share this message with the region.

If you are interested in learning more, please send me a message on slack. You will be hearing more soon as we explore ways to bring this message to a workout near you!

We had an enlightening conversation about the 3rd F and how to carry out the F3 mission with an emphasis on the third F.

Thanks to all of the men who came out and participated.

THE THANG:

Loop 1 – 10 Hand release merkins
Loop 2 – 10 Thrusters
Loop 3 – something else, I think
Loop 4 – 15 No cheat merkins

COT:

Ask
Commit
Talk

I recently heard a story of a man who overcame addition to alcohol. He said that at a recovery group meeting he had this interaction:
Man #1 : Do you want to stop drinking?
Man #2 : (sarcastically) Why do you think that I am here?
Man #1 : OK, then commit to being sober for 24 hours.
Man #2 : I need decades of help, not just one day.
Man #1 : Ask God for help, commit for 24 hours, and then let’s talk about that one day.
Man #2 : Fine.

So he did it, and he’s been taking it one day at a time for 15 years. He shared the model of ACT.

Ask – Humbly Ask God to help you in this struggle.
Commit – Dedicate yourself to do this for 24 hours
Talk – Speak to a friend

Repeat

He further shared how he uses this approach on other parts of his life (anger, for instance). I decided to start this today in my own life, fighting against my selfish attitude toward my family.

WARMUP:
Rucked one lap at the Park

THE THANG:
We rucked about three miles in the neighborhood with a good elevation gain. When we got back to the AO, Fast said we were about a tenth short of 3 miles. So, we rucked couple laps in the parking lot to get three officially. We had some light rain on the ruck.

MARY:
No

COT:
Matthew Ch 13
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
May we pray that our hearts are good soil.
