COT: “We are blessed to have examples of HIM all around us”
Yesterday, a group of F3 PAX attended the NorthStar fund-raising luncheon. A former New England Patriot player was the keynote speaker. He spoke of his upbringing in rural Georgia, and how it was challenging for him to breakout of the generational poverty and social challenges of his community. He did not have positive male role models in his life that showed him how to be a high impact man. There were no physicians, lawyers or police officers. There were not many fathers and husbands.
It made me think about how lucky that I am to have a community of high impact men that surround me everyday. We are so lucky to witness how other men are accelerating in life. Often, new guys come to F3 without fully knowing what is possible for a man to be if he has a higher purpose in his life and he is a fit leader in his home, workplace and community. We see guys make massive transformations in their lives. It gives us a plethora of examples to follow.
I am grateful for the high impact men of F3. I am constantly challenged by men who push limits and accelerate.
Grace & Peace,
Wait Time
