CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As I go through life’s struggles, as I pity myself and wonder why, I am reminded of a few people in history that I can learn from. Jesus faced the ultimate struggle and sacrificed for us all. Paul struggled and suffered throughout his entire ministry. James reminded us about struggle: Dear brothers and sisters,[a]when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:2-4

MOLESKIN:
None finished this beat down, guess we will have to try again

Blockees, Burpees, and Bears … Oh My!!

THE SCENE: 72 degrees and 94% humidity = Ugh!!

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER


WARM-O-RAMA:
Grabbed our CMUs and moseyed to the Oval Office. Stopped along the way to do CMU Shoulder Shrugs x10; Upright Rows x10; Bent Over Rows x10

THA-THANG:
Pax partnered up with someone they felt was about as strong as they are. Starting at first line do 10 Blockees than bear crawl to the second line. At the second line do 10 Burpees than bear crawl back to first line. For the first time up and back both partners did bear crawl and then from then on did it Bear Brawl style where one partner pushed on the others shoulders while they crawled. Change the partner bear crawling and the partner providing resistance on each trip.

MARY:
Let the PAX choose and we did a bunch of ab exercises, can’t remember all of them.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 HIMs literally pushed each other to be better this morning.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We can compare our life to a chest of drawers. We have a drawer for family, work, hobbies/activities, God, church, and other things. When we give the Sunday School answer we feel like we should order them something like God, family, hobbies/activities, and work. When we are real with ourselves it is probably more like work, family, hobbies/activities, God, and church. The problem is that those are both wrong. God deserves to be more than a drawer in our life. He should be the chest that the drawers are in. We can’t be the father and husband we are called to be unless we are in Christ. We can’t be the worker we are called to be unless we are in Christ. We can’t be the leader in our church and community we are called to be unless we are in Christ. So look inside yourself and ask, have I given God a drawer in my life or is He the chest my life is contained in?

From Q Source:

Stress testing builds reliance

Reliance is the heart of Trust. For a Team to be Dynamic, the Members must implicitly and fully rely upon each other to Competently perform their part of the Team’s Mission-essential Tasks. It is not enough for a man to tell his Team Members that he can do his job, or even for the Q to do so. They have to see the man in action under stress for reliance to build.

Whether it is the character of another man or a footbridge over a gorge, we only decide to step forward in reliance if we believe it is strong enough to keep us from falling. If we don’t believe a man’s character can bear the weight, we won’t rely upon him any more than we would a rickety bridge over a rushing river

When applied to a man rather than a thing, stress testing serves a dual purpose. Like it does with the bridge, it demonstrates reliability to others. But, unlike the bridge, it also demonstrates to the man himself that the reliance of others is justified. Passing the stress test gives a man the confidence he needs to take on the responsibility of what comes afterwards. “If I got through that,” he tells himself, “then I have what it takes to get through this”. You can trust me because I am reliable–I trust myself.

MOLESKIN:
F3 has helped me realize the importance of being reliable as a leader. A true leader must be reliable to his friends, and work but most important to his family. Q has struggled in the past with this. Learning every day to be better.
