BOM
Character vs. Reputation

“Character is the distinctive qualities that make a man who he truly is deep down inside. Your character is made up of all the qualities that have been deeply ingrained in your mind and spirit. It is your character that determines how you respond to life’s challenges and irritations, to both your victories and defeats. Your reputation is what others think of you; your character is what you truly are. Reputations can be manipulated; character can only be developed. While you have some control over how others see you, you have total control over your true character. The specific character traits that you develop, and live by, determine what kind of man you are.”
– Bohdi Sanders, Men of the Code: Living as a Superior Man

Wearing the F3 means something.  It means you are CHOOSING to be a man who pursues more than the status quo.  That you ACCEPT responsibility to REJECT passivity and LEAD.  You live by a code, I am Third…God, Others, Me.  Character is built through adversity.  Each morning we get out and work hard pushing ourselves and each other to get better physically, mentally and spiritually.  With each workout our character is shaped a little more.

“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”
Romans 8:3-5

MOLESKIN
It was chilly, breezy morning, but we kept moving.  We carried rocks, ran hills, bear crawled, did burpees…all giving 100% with a smile.  It was an honor and blessing to lead this morning.  And just think…we get to do it all again next week!

“Where is God at work in your life?” a mentor asked me one day. I didn’t know what to say. He made a compelling argument that for every man, God is standing in the middle of our fear, inviting us to run towards it.

Part of being a High Impact Man is rejecting passivity. Oftentimes as men we avoid/shrink back/check out when things get stressful, overwhelming or intimidating. We must choose to reject that natural tendency of passivity and step towards that fear knowing that God will meet us in the middle of it!

Challenge: Where is God inviting you into your fear today?

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,” Colossians 3:22-23 ESV

Red Writer said that he is a recovering people pleaser. He talked about how part of being a H.I.M. (High Impact Man) is rejecting passivity. It’s easy for us as men to either check out of the mundane things or shrink back from the things that make us feel intimidated, pressured and afraid. But as men we must refuse to be passive and live our life on purpose and with greater purpose. That greater purpose is always found when we lift our heads up out of our boredom and stress, and see that we have a Heavenly Father and His gaze is always on us. He sees our weakness, he sees our frustration, he sees our fear; and He still loves us. His gaze and his unconditional love is the fuel that drives us in the mundane and the stress, to stay engaged and reject passivity.

“I always feel it well just to put a few words of prayer between everything I do” -Spurgeon

BOM:

– Proverbs 3:31 Don’t envy violent people or copy their ways (NLT)
– Do not model your behavior after people with poor reaction to emotional or bad circumstances. We have all been there and we have all reacted poorly whether it be a violent use of language in traffic or at home or whenever but remember that this bleeds over into our family and others we are influencing. We are human and make mistakes but try to take a breath amidst the scurry and ask for humility, patience, and strength along with God’s mercy and grace. We are all a high impact man to someone!
