THA-THANG:
Mosey to the CMU pile and everybody gets one block.  Take half the blocks to the swings and half to the pull up bars.  Divide into two groups (6 people each) at the swings (using the swing as a pull up bar) do pull ups with your feet on the ground and your back parallel to the ground.  3 can go at a time, the other three do rows with the CMU until 20 are complete.  Rotate in and out until the second group tags you out.  The second group is at the pull up bars.  They are jumping into a pull up position and slowly lowering them selves down, then repeating X 10.  After you do 10, rotate to the CMU’s and perform lawn mowers with the CMU.  Once all 6 have had their turn on the pull up bars, mosey over to the other group.  Repeat entire sequence three times.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I lost a dear friend over the weekend.  He was a longtime employee and coworker.  We talked about the impact of culture.  He embodied our work culture and he will be missed.  F3 has a strong culture as well, and it allows us to hold each other accountable and make each other better.  Culture eats strategy for breakfast, embrace it, make it your own, and use it as the great tool that it is to impact lives.

Kansas overcame a 16 point deficit in NCAA championship game to win it. Sorry Voodoo and all you NC fans. Kansas didn’t give up and it should remind you that if it’s important don’t give up. Whether that’s a sporting event, job, or your relationship with God. F3 brothers will be there to help, if needed. Also, don’t let up if you’re in a good position. Again, our F3 brothers can help maintain your position if you feel it slipping away.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

Me and 12 fine men of the Shamrock 

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: 

F3 is more than a workout.  If you are really investing yourself and opening yourself up to your PAX, then you are building deep and meaningful friendships that will sustain you through good times and bad.  It is such a unique and special thing, and I don’t know of a better group of men out there.

How do you invest yourself in deeper, intentional friendships?

  • Consistency – it’s not just about showing up when you need to be shored up.
  • Contributing – You don’t take and take and take.  In fact, you expect and strive to give more than you take from this group.  You expect to invest more than you’ll have returned.
  • Candidness (outward) – Have the courage to speak candidly to a friend who is falling short of a high standard.  Talk straight to the man who is acting foolishly, who is harming himself and others around him, and who is temporarily blind, ignorant, or uncaring of their foolishness.
  • Candidness (inward) – Transparency / vulnerability. In order for you to have any credibility whatsoever to speak candidly to a hurting friend, you must first consistently be opening your own heart to him.  You must be candid about your own struggles, fears, insecurities, shortcomings, dreams.  Only then have you earned to right to speak truth to him about his struggles.

Romans 12:10
“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.”

Man, it was good to be in the gloom with you men – thanks for having me!
