Be fun. Do fun stuff with your kids and your family.  We can sometimes get wrapped up in work, every day stressors of life, or even ourselves and forget to have some fun time with our loved ones. It doesn’t just have to be on the weekend. Take some time this week to do something fun with your kids that you normally wouldn’t. Play a game, wrestle, play 20 questions.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Men we need to kill last period I have been working all my adult life in battling lust period however I’ve come to realize that I’ve been more serving lust than killing it period John Piper once said you must be killing sin orcin will be killing you. It’s rung true with me this year as I consider the ways that lust destroys. I come from a broken home where my dad looked at pornography all of his life and never tried to fight or walk in the light. I know what pornography’s end is and that is death. I spoke to a much older wiser man and asked him how does he fights in period he told me that when he was given his sons The Lord used that to stir up a hatred for pornography he wanted to one day look at his sons in the eye and say I do not struggle with pornography I hate pornography. Additionally he raised the value of his wife in their home period he made much of her he laid down his life for her he spoke highly of her period he sought her out thought of her talk to her. And by God’s grace he says he was able to build a true hatred for pornography. I’d encourage you all to think about could you look your sons in the eye and say I don’t struggle with pornography. I know that’s not the case in my life and I’m praying daily that God stirs up hatred so that one day a I may be able to do that.

6 HIMs made it out this morning

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

My biggest temptation is to coast: in my fitness, in my marriage, my parenting, and my career. It’s so easy for me to put out fires, get to a comfortable place, and plateau. My F3 brothers do a great job of pushing me.

The challenge today is to identify where you’ve been coasting, give that extra effort, and go to bed tired— knowing you gave your full effort. We set the tone for the day by showing up this morning; now just keep it going.

MOLESKIN:

I really appreciate all my F3 brothers for pushing me and not leaving me where they found me.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Make sure to read the F3 weekly email.
