Q: The Plague
This is F3 – Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. F3 is an international network of free, peer-led workouts for men. Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Core principles:
- Are free of charge
- Are open to all men
- Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
- Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
- End with a Circle of Trust
Disclaimer: The Plague is not a professional – PAX need to modify as necessary.

- This is my 4-year anniversary, and to me it’s a special day. It’s a day that marks a turning point in my life. However, it’s not the 4-year anniversary we celebrate at home. That date is August 12th, because that’s my clean date. The thing is August 12th likely doesn’t happen if July 21st didn’t come first.
- Q Source talks about where I was at on 7/21/2018 in Q1 on Get Right, “To understand the Get Right, picture a man vigorously rowing a boat across a fast moving stream. If it suddenly capsizes so that the keel is skyward, the man would have to right it–return it to its upright position–before he could continue rowing. Until he did that he could not make headway against the current and get his boat to the far bank. At best, he would be simply trying to survive, clinging to his capsized boat as it was pushed by the current to points unknown downstream.”
- YHC shared the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). Jesus told this parable because he was asked what the most important commandments were. He said to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. He was then asked who is our neighbor, to which he responded with the parable of the Good Samaritan.
- Most of us know this story, and if you’re like me when you hear it you start to think what you would do if you were walking by someone beaten to death lying in the road. You see, the problem with that though is that we need to see ourselves as the man lying in the road, half-dead, needing help and not just as the person walking by. If we’re going to get the full benefit of F3, we must humble ourselves to realize we too have capsized our boats, we too need help getting right, and just like the guy next to us, we must start there in order to be able to help the next guy.
- How do we do this? We lead as multipliers, we take our experience, strength and hope and share it so others can learn. Then we listen to the next guy do the same and so on.
- If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
- For me, the vast and endless see that I was yearning for was acceptance and significance. F3 taught me that I had that without having to change who I was to impress other people. F3 has allowed be to get right, live right, lead right, in so many areas of my life. I now yearn to leave right and create a legacy for my M, 2.0s and the other men around me in the community.
- To achieve our mission of reinvigorating male community leadership, we must continue to lead like multipliers!
- How do you want to be remembered as a leader? Someone with a big personality or someone around who other people grew?
