COT:
KickFlip was out a couple of weeks ago and he was reflecting on a message that Archie delivered… Coming to F3 does not make you a HIM. I agree with this statement. It doesn’t. There are also several HIMs that have never been to an F3 workout. We need to get them out here with us.

F3 also doesn’t count as church. ⛪️ If you’re here and don’t have a church you call home, I would personally like to invite you to Faith Promise where me and my family attend. There’s a spreadsheet floating around with a lot of our F3 brothers and the churches they belong to. So again, I encourage you to check it out, if you don’t have a church you call home.

I will say this though… Being out here in the gloom with these men is a great foundation and starting point. Surrounding yourselves with High Impact Men, is going to encourage you to strive to be one yourself. I know, because I’m speaking from experience. You push me to be my best, not only when I’m out here with you, but also when no one else is around. Thank you!

COT: Seeking wisdom to choose and execute a righteous path, a path that will serve, and yes, a path that will reward. I think about the freedom, and release of burden associated with dropping the false façade’s we in leadership roles, and in business trap ourselves within.
It’s about opening your heart, so your mind is open to receive wisdom. Self aggrandizing, can close your heart to others and only serves to falsely exalt/elevate you. This separates you from others. Separating yourself only prevents your ability to receive wisdom from those around you. You may ask Him for wisdom, but your own pride can interfere with your ability to hear His word, and receive the gift of wisdom. Exalting oneself is to hold yourself above others. This separation may also separate you from receiving the wisdom you may be seeking.

In Matthew 23:12, Jesus declares, “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Similarly, Proverbs 22:4 reminds us that pride leads to disgrace, while humility brings forth wisdom. Pride blinds us to our dire need for salvation and corrupts our spiritual growth.

Thank you for working out wholeheartedly. Whole heart is our goal. It’s what we admire. consider your heroes. One: have heroes. They motivate us. Two: they gave their all and the best example of this is Jesus who gave even his life to have a relationship with you. Jeremiah 29:13 says: you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
My challenge to you today is to give your whole heart and what the Lord has for you to do.

We did three rounds, in the first one we did 10 reps of each exercise, 20 in the second and we barely finished the third one 😉 with 30 reps. After the first lap to the building we had to run around the large pond once, twice the second time and we did not complete a third try :joy:. After the long run, we did different exercises according to the number of reps in the round.

COT:

We talked about how differences nurture our lives and enrich our perspective. Let’s pursue coping with differences and avoid criticisms since that is the easy way out.

“The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them”.
