As we carried the CMUs around today, we also carry burdens that weigh down our lives. The good news is that we have a God that will carry those for us and we need to remember this in the times we attempt to take care of them ourselves.

It was HOT out there today but the PAX was ready to conquer the challenge. We went to work and broke a few CMUs along the way. Way to get better men!

BOM
The theme of the morning was “better together.” We partnered up with a “Battle Buddy” for the morning to push and encourage each other through the workout. One of the characteristics of a sad clown is he lives a lonely, isolated life…F3 is the antithesis of that! We live by the simple truth that we are exponentially stronger physically, mentally and spiritually together than alone. Initially, most men come to F3 to work on themselves, which is a good thing, but soon we all learn that iron truly does sharpen iron. Something powerful happens to a PAX when men start showing up for each other as much for themselves. As Solomon says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-11). We put this into practice this morning, and each of us leave better because of it.

MOLESKIN
When the K-Town PAX met up to head to Johnson City we didn’t know what to expect, but spirits where high and we were ready to met our new brothers. When we got there and Donatello was waiting for us and rolled out the red carpet. YHC can say right now…the men of JC get it! They showed up ready to work and killed it. Mumblechatter was high and the camaraderie was instant with our F3 Tennessee brothers.

We’re failures as men if we do not love our wives and children. The legacy we leave behind is dependent on how we handle the first two rings of #Concentrica. As Christians, we’re called to live a life worthy of our calling (Ephesians 4).

 

MOLESKIN
On a warm day, the PAX stayed disciplined and completed some high intensity workouts with little rest. Morale and the temperature climbed as we got better together at #TheAsylum. We were happy to have an FNG and Little Mike from Charlotte.
