CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A prayer to make the passage about the armor of God applicable in our lives:

Lord, I put on the belt of truth.  I choose a lifestyle of honesty and integrity.  Show me the truths I so desperately need today.  Expose the lies I’m not even aware that I’m believing.  And yes, Lord, I wear your righteousness today against all condemnation and corruption.  Fit me with your holiness and purity – defend me from all assaults against my heart.  I do choose to live for the gospel at an moment.  Show me where the larger story is unfolding and keep me from being so lax that I think the most important thing today is the soap operas of this world.  Jesus, I lift against every lie and every assault the confidence that you are good, and that you have good in store for me.  Nothing is coming today that can overcome me because you are with me.  Thank you, Lord, for my salvation.  I receive it in a new and fresh way from you and I declare that nothing can separate me now from the love of Christ and the place I shall ever have in your kingdom.  Holy Spirit, show me specifically today the truths of the Word of God that I will need to counter the assaults and snares of the enemy.  Bring them to mind throughout the day.  Finally, Holy Spirit, I agree to walk in step with you in everything – in all prayer as my spirit communes with you throughout the day.

16 men (some from Equalizer, Shamrock, and the Project) descended upon JUCO to support Butterknife’s appointing as AOQ
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Live third.

As men of F3 we are called to live third. Our creator comes first, followed by our community. We need to strive to put the interests of others above our own. Butterknife is a HIM that I have seen grow a ton over the last 2.5 years that he’s been out at F3. He has shared aspects of his life with us and expressed how much F3 has done for him, as it has for me as well. One aspect that I really appreciate is his desire to put others first. He is quick to pick up the six or make an FNG feel welcome. He’s been a leader at JUCO and has helped us all to grow. Today I’m excited to pass the torch of JUCO AOQ to Butterknife. I know he’ll lift up the men of JUCO and help push the mission of F3 as a whole.

Philippians 2: 1-11

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[a] who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,[b] but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,[c] being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

MOLESKIN:
I’m still convinced that Butterknife grows stronger every time he gets COVID.
