Element of Authentic Manhood – Stewardship.
Matthew 25:14-30.  We are stewards of all we have, not owners.  Ownership implies that we are the center, stewardship reminds us that we have to give an account what we have been given.  Not just our resources and talents, but our relationships.

The opposite of manhood isn’t womanhood, it’s boyhood (1 Corinthians 10:11 – When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.).  The difference between manhood and boyhood is not a sense of fun and zest for life, it’s maturity.  We don’t want to loose the joy of living, but the world…our loved ones…NEED us to be men.  The need us to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, expect a greater reward…God’s reward.  Each morning at F3 we come together to get better physically, mentally and spiritually in the context of other men.  Men teach us how to be better men, so keep coming and keep giving!

MOLESKIN
The Knoxville PAX loves to kick off the week with a bang!  Monday’s are usually well attended and this morning was no different.  Everyone showed up ready to get better.  It was a great morning…I would expect nothing less.  AYE!!

BOM
Nehemiah was given a vision by God to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem. The task itself was difficult, but he gathered the people and materials to make the vision a reality. But he had doubters: Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arab. They doubted him, ridiculed him, and threatened him. Nehemiah never lost sight of his vision, trusted God, and stayed ready to fight if necessary.

Nehemiah said, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”

We all have a task at hand, and we also all have doubters. We must (1) never lose sight of our vision,  (2) trust God, and (3) fight for what has been entrusted to us.

MOLESKIN
The PAX stayed in the Circle of Trust as we repped out some familiar and not-so-familiar leg and ab exercises. Because the Q didn’t effectively communicate the need for CMUs, a few audibles were called on the fly to ensure all could participate and get better together.
