COT:
Getting out of your comfort zone:

What if your best laid plans and goals were thrown off for some reason….there are terrible ways that can happen like losing your job or an accident, but there are also positive ways like job opportunities, unexpected callings or kids

The character of a person…and in this case a MAN… is how you react in those situations. I don’t want a show of hands, but if you cringed or had a negative reflection of how you would probably react…then you need to remember that gods in control. You should feel comfort in Him and fall back on your values and trusts that you are in good hands.

Sometimes He like to take us out of our comfort zones and frankly laughs at them. He’s laughed at mine twice over the past year…

Matthew chapter 4
Jesus, God’s son is the trustworthy one
Example in chapter 10: throwing sheep into a den of wolves. Trust in Him.

It’s getting hot in herrre!

COT: Talked about my injury and the clarity of hindsight and all the things I knew to do differently before hand but failed to do them in the moment. Encouraged everyone to slow down and try to have the clarity of hindsight in the moment during this holiday season. What is that relationship or conversation you wished to have, what is that act of kindness or generosity you might miss, what is that error in judgment that you might be tempted with. Don’t wait for hindsight to have clarity in your actions.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Alright guys we’re going to do something a little different.

We’ll go around the circle one by one and I want you to tell me what your net worth is.

Now that you’ll all taken a deep breath and uttered ‘yeah right’ …I’ll tell you mine
– I feel wealthy because of my eternal riches in Christ!

What you probably all thought of was a monetary version, which I’ll add is temporary. Those thoughts, while important for our time on earth, are ultimately nothing compared to what we have in store after this life is over.

Assets to manage
God has given people assets to manage, and tracking net worth can help people evaluate how to live more generously

Biblical wealth
People with biblical wealth see their wealth as an opportunity to manage what God has given them, and not as something they own.

Self-worth
People with biblical wealth do not attach their self-worth to their net worth.

Self-worth in Christ
Jesus sacrificed for people’s sins so that they could be made whole and given life in Him.

Ephesians 3:8: Christ’s riches are spiritual and unsearchable, and they provide salvation to everyone who believes.

Warmup SSSH IW Tempo Merkins Don Quixote

Dora 123 Merkins, Squats and squishy LBC (the sounds were fantastic)
P2 takes sandbag and walks 30 yards and back farmer carry (r then l) shoulder carry (r then left) front/back carry

Competed in Brolympics sandbag toss (throw 60# bag, then 40 bag twice. Mailbox (with one hand) edged out Haggis

Did an “Indian ruck” with sandbags with no specific destination, leader chose time leading and route.

Got back in time for quick Mary including flutters, Nolan Ryan’s (side plank with punches) Freddy Mercury and Superman swimmers. Squats for time as Rushers arrived

Q shared 7th birthday from bone marrow transplant this past Sunday. Talked about the appreciation of support from so many across the years. Along the ruck Zerolingo asked about what is the part of F3 I enjoy the most and I quickly stated the fellowship:being around solid men with similar thoughts and beliefs who help to encourage rather than tearing you down. It’s a joy to call you brothers.
Prayers for many in the circle, especially for Mailbox and happy birthday to Butterknife’s daughter Rachel!
