ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Starfish talk

COT:
Starfishing is F3 approach to growth. If a starfish looses a leg, that leg can form a new animal. Everything needed for a new animal is already there in the appendage, but it has to separate from the rest of the animal in order to do it.

As an organization of leaders, rather than an organization with leaders, we have tremendous potential for growth. How can you step into new areas of leadership?

COT:
Proverbs 15:1 -A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
James 1:19 -Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.

We are called to live out these verses as Christians. They require us to love others in a way that honors the individual and Christ.

Try and recognize where your emotional battery is at before going into a difficult conversation and rely on the Lord to strengthen you to love others well.

Mark 9 ends with Jesus’ hyperbole of removing an eye or limb that causes us to sin to communicate both the severity of sin and cost of discipleship. Do we view our own sin and the cost of us following Jesus the same way?

Doorkicker’s question
Why is building real community in the church so hard?
Discuss 15 minutes

This was a trial of the 30/30 workout. This is a 30 minute workout followed by a 30 minute discussion of one question that is sent out in advance. This was modified to be a 15 minute discussion to stay within the usual 45 minute workout.

Something that worked well (IMHO) was to have a simple workout plan that allowed me to give instructions once and let ‘er rip. Also PAX could make the workout as intense as they needed since it was an AMRAP.

After 30 mins, time was called and we assembled in the pavilion. Both Z-Pack and Borg brought coffee, so that was enjoyed by all (even Shotgun :wink:). Thank you, men, for doing that.

We had all had time to think through DK’s question. A few thoughts included we don’t value deep relationships enough, judgementalism, laziness, lack of boldness, fear and insecurity, lack of common mission.

One word that came to my mind was “OPTIONAL.” I live like a lot of things are optional, including deep relationships.

DK said we should get our families together. Let’s do that, bros.

Also, somebody else run a 30/15! You are freed to lead.

Prayer by Borg, SYITG next time :muscle:
