- CoT – YHC Shared from Freed to Lead about Fitness, Fellowship & Faith
- In F2L is talks about SadClown syndrome which can be identified by looking at men like a bowling ball. Men are created to have an impact, like a bowling ball, however if our holes are filled with the wrong things our impact decreases. F2L talks about the Pogo40 (inconsistent fitness), Sifter (depth of male friendships) and the Reacher (purposelessness). So when we think about F3 or Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith, we’re reminded that each F has a unique purpose aimed at our mission to reinvigorate male community leadership by equipping men to have the impact they were designed to have.YHC leaned into the Third F, Faith, since that is often the most complicated for men to engage with. For F3, we’ve defined faith as a belief in something outside of oneself. That means that you don’t have to have your faith or religious beliefs completed figured out and you don’t have to prescribe to a specific religion to be a part of this group or to have an impact through your unique purpose.
- This morning YHC had the opportunity to lead the FRuck or faith-based ruck. It was such an amazing experience listening to the PAX reflect on Holy Week and share their perspectives on faith. It was such a great reminder of how impactful this group has been on my life and something that Flo shared really stuck with me – The seeking is often more important than the finding.
- What I think he meant by that is as long as we’re continuously seeking relationship with God or our Higher Power, we’re headed the right direction. We should focus on time, energy and attention on seeking instead of trying to find a specific thing. In the seeking, God will reveal himself to us and the unique purpose he’s designed us to fulfill in his kingdom.
