COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Three words that motivate and give reason to me.

Strength: I see this as the physical side of things. The strength to accomplish something you have always wanted to do or the ability to help someone in need. Used an example of a burning building and having the strength to help pull someone out or carry them from danger. or the physical strength to hike the Grand Canyon. Whatever the situation or surrounding you find yourself in, will you be ready for it physically?

Courage: Will you have to courage to do such things? It will take courage to help someone else in a fire if your in the same danger. It takes courage to sign up for and event like goruck or the barkley marathons, or whatever that great event or place might be for you.

Wisdom: None of the prior will matter if you do not have the wisdom needed to know and understand the situation your in. Being intelligent about your surroundings, like the burning building, or the weather conditions when hiking the grand canyon. We must be smart and seek the intelligence / wisdom to educate ourselves to make the right decisions.

The Falling Man, Esquire article:
https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a48031/the-falling-man-tom-junod/
The Falling Man, Documentary: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810746/

The Falling Man is one of the several people who purposefully jumped from the WTC towers on 9/11.

The story of the jumpers vanished from the 9/11 coverage and narrative. There was an aggressive resistance to acknowledging people jumped. When a family was approached about identifying the falling man, a family member’s response was “That piece of shit is not my father.”

The thought that a person was in such despair, suffering, beyond hope that he would, in a sense, give up was buried, dismissed, and denied. Instead the 9/11 coverage and narrative focused on bravery, courage, generosity and bringing enemies to justice.

Understandably, the preferred flavors of Christianity tend to be that of courage, hope, bravery and will power. We gravitate to these flavors so much that we deny, bury, dismiss the reality of despair and hopelessness. When we do this, we unintentionally alienate those who are deeply hurting.

When Jesus was on the cross, he didn’t hear “the Lord has a plan for you” or “this is God’s will.” As a matter of fact, he cried, “My God, my God why have you forsaken me?” Ultimate despair, alienation, hopelessness, just like The Falling Man and all the others who jumped from the towers. Jesus didn’t bury or deny despair, he endured it.

During our times of real despair, hopelessness and alienation, the cross is God crying “I know how bad it hurts and you are not alone, together we will endure this, I AM with you.” We too are the falling man and at the same time living reminders to each other “you are never alone. We will endure the suffering together. I am here with you.”

The cross is the place where we find the freedom to accept ourselves without being proud and challenge ourselves without being crushed. Tim Keller

Defining Manhood

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” -Hebrews 10:24-25

“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” -1 Timothy 4:8

“Rejoice in your sufferings, because you know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” -Romans 5:3-4 (EMBRACE THE SUCK!)

Being a man isn’t about showing off or outdoing others, it’s about staying humble and uplifting to others. Being there for other people will get you much more gratitude than any object can.
