COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We can all come out here to work on our physical weakness, but we also have weaknesses that we cannot personally overcome. Paul suffered from a “thorn in the flesh” and Christ’s words to him are something we must also apply: 2Cor. 12:9 My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Paul’s response should be our response: I will boast in my weakness so Christ’s power rests on me.

Galatians 6:2

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ

Whether your rich, poor, healthy, unhealthy… all of us face difficulties in life that we cannot handle alone. God calls upon us to help each other carry our burdens. Life would be almost impossible without each other. Look for ways you can help your friends, families, or even strangers.  You may never know what burdens they are carrying.

You may not always think about it but you put off an aroma. People around you notice it, be guided by 2 Cor., 15-17 and make your aroma, the thing people notice about you, positive and Christ-like

2 Corinthians 2:15-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

BOM:

I encourage the men to step up and let me know if they were interested in taking their leadership skills to the next level. I challenged the PAX to let me know if they are interested or wanting to grow our AO and our outreach by expanding into a shared leadership team within the AO.  Please let me know if you would like to be a part of this as i’m compiling a list of HIMs to meet with in the near future to talk through my ideas and envisions.

Q Source – Q3.1 – LEAD RIGHT – SHARED LEADERSHIP
Shared Leadership is a conspiracy to Influence Movement to Advantage 

A conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to act in harmony toward a common end.

If that common end is an illegal activity (bank robbery for example), then the very act of conspiring to commit the crime is a crime itself—separate and apart from actually committing it. To establish a conspiracy to commit bank robbery, the state need only prove the existence of an agreement between the coconspirators and a single action in furtherance of their plot, like the purchase of a gun. The fact that they never manage to rob the bank, or even walk through its doors, does not diminish their guilt for simply conspiring to do so. The criminal penalty for conspiracy is very severe, typically only a single level lower than the act itself. Thus, if bank robbery is a class A felony, than conspiracy to commit bank robber is a class B felony.

This may seem draconian given that the intended victim is never actually harmed in the manner intended, but it is considered a just and necessary deterrent to the destructive power of men who combine to act in concerted evil. A four-man crew working together is far more likely to possess the range of skills necessary to rob a bank than four men acting individually. By pooling their efforts, they greatly increase their likelihood of success because each man can focus on the proper performance of his particular role rather than trying to do everything at once. Concerted action toward evil ends is a powerfully Disruptive.

But so is concerted action towards Advantage. Men who combine in furtherance of positive Outcomes are far more likely to achieve their common objective than they would be if they acted alone, because the sum of their individual efforts is greatly exceeded by the product of their concerted action. As with a criminal conspiracy, each man is free to focus on the proper performance of his individual role which (if the conspiracy is well formed) will be within his own D2X. A conspiracy of men working together within their individual High Impact Zones to achieve a specific Advantage will have a Dynamic IMPACT on their Community or Organization. Groups seeking Prosperity should encourage men to conspire to Advantage.

MOLESKIN:
There is an energy and fitness level surrounding this PAX that I have not seen in a LONG time…Really looking forward to the future and how these HIMs continue to advance their leadership abilities throughout Blount County and the surrounding areas!
