Mosey to JUCOmanjaro. We used the white marks as stopping points for exercises. The following exercises were performed at the stops, one per stop. Repeat list to the top.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I would venture to guess that most of the PAX attend worship services at a local church on at least a semi-regular basis. How many of that same group study the Bible daily on their own? How many serve others regularly? How many teach others the Word of God?

My M and I have had discussions in the past about the danger of outsourcing our faith. Do we rely on the leadership of the church to perform all the work? Do we rely on them to do all of the Bible studying? What about serving those in need? Unfortunately, YHC fully admits to this happening a lot in our house. I don’t spend time in the Word as I should and I don’t serve God the way I should around the community.

This is something that I am working on. If you have the same struggle, I encourage you to work on it and reach out for help. Help those around you to be accountable as well.
MOLESKIN:
Had to audible the workout. When we finished the 4×4’s, we were supposed to repeat the four corners with Prison Cell Merkin Burpees, but YHC quickly realized that we would not even close to have the time for them. My gift to all of the JUCO PAX today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I wanted to thank everyone in F3 for leading as great examples of what men should be. I grew up without a father figure in the house, so becoming a father myself was something I thought I’d always go into blind and figure out along the way. Being apart of this group for a few years before fatherhood was extremely helpful to me, and I’m sure it’ll be helpful to many others in similar situations. #ISI

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

There was a recent post among the leadership about the language we in F3 use. We throw out terms without considering their actual meaning. We talk about servant leadership and no man left behind and leading by example. We say we’re making the HC and call each other HIMs. 12 HIMs took on the Gloom. 9 HIMs posted today. Etc. We say it with such commonality that it loses its meaning and you earn HIMship just by showing up to workouts. That’s not what F3 is about. That’s not what a HIM is. We need to adjust our culture so that being a HIM has meaning.

A HIM is defined as a high IMPACT man that is a DISRUPTOR who is COMMITTED to making FORCIBLE contact to STRONG EFFECT.

A few weeks ago, Tank asked for 3-5 guys to help him serve kids at the Wesley House for their fall festival. Out of approximately 250 active members, guys who post regularly, how many HIMs showed up? 1. Unfortunately, it wasn’t me either. Most of the time when there’s a service project it’s the same small group of men that make the HC to serve. There is a cultural change we need to make in F3 Knoxville. We need to be impactful. Disrupters. We need to commit to making forcible contact to strong effect. We need to EARN our HIMship.

To help, a new slack channel called service opportunities had been created to help us generate, plan, and execute opportunities to serve and impact our community.  Please join the channel and look back at the video from Steam about the service project that’s already been completed.

The Bible talks extensively about serving others.  Jesus, himself, speaks to serving our brothers and sisters.

Matthew 25:31-41

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Our priorities are this: God first.  Family second.  Serving the Kingdom is a very close third.  I understand family obligations and that not everyone is able or even needed to show up at every project.  But if we aren’t helping people, if we aren’t serving our community, if we’re not advancing the Kingdom and giving glory to God, we’re not doing our job.  We’re failing.  Failing ourselves.  Failing F3.  Failing Him.  This is a call to action.  Answer the call.  Serve.  Be impactful.  Earn your HIMship.
