Notable BBs from 2022:

  • January 2022 — https://f3knoxville.com/thank-you-for-the-accountability/ (Crispr)
    • Accountability
  • “What is true for all men seeking to Accelerate is that it works better as a Group than as a Singleton. Together, we pool our collective knowledge for the benefit of each individual and spur one another on to places we would never reach alone. This is the power of the Shield Lock. Together, we sharpen each other – as iron sharpens iron. It’s simple really. If you want to learn to run faster, just find a faster man. And chase him until you catch him.”
  • March 2022 — https://f3knoxville.com/drum-major-51/ (Drum Major)
    • Leadership
    • A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. —Lao Tzu
  • April 2022 — https://f3knoxville.com/asylum-saturday-am/ (Pusher)
    • One day at a time
    • Matthew 6:34 – “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
  • July 2022 — https://f3knoxville.com/zone-improvement-plan/ (Curveball)
    • Freedom
      • PETER MARSHALL Chaplin of US Senate 1947 – “May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please, but the opportunity to do what is right.”

    • “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

Concerning the HIM of the Asylum PM

To the men of the F3 Knoxville Asylum PM, on the last PM workout of 2022.

Thank you. Thank you for being the fathers, husbands, leaders, and High Impact Men I have personally needed in my life this year. More than that, thank you for fulfilling your duties as men with honor, courage, and commitment to your families and spheres of influence this past year. I look up to all of you and have learned much from very single one of you. A couple of things that we’ve walked through together this year, that I wanted us to remember for a second:

  • Death
  • New Life
  • Marriages restored
  • Marriages begun
  • Job changes
  • Moving houses
  • Protecting and stewarding our culture
  • Car crashes
  • Surgeries
  • Recovery
  • Redemption

And many others. We’ve grown together as men who want to make an impact in our small corner of the world. We’ve had an opportunity to steward what’s been given to us this year, and because of you men showing up, even the times when you didn’t feel like it or didn’t want to, we succeeded.

It’s an honor to know and grow with you men. Iron Sharpens Iron!
