COT: YHC cribbed from Romans 5 on suffering: “…suffering produces endurance (perseverance), and endurance produces character, and character produces hope…”. YHC tied this verse to IPC and his own family’s struggles over the past few years that led him to dive deeper into his faith. The Romans 5 language can be applied to the struggles of life that make you stronger, build character, and lead to hope. The F3 model and, in this case IPC prep, offers positive physical and mental struggles in the gloom. As a HIM endures this suffering shoulder to shoulder with his brothers, he strengthens his endurance and builds his character, so that when life’s sufferings come he can approach them with hope for the future. The HIM leaves the gloom to go out and be a better man for his family and his community. Thank you men for being HIMs!

Observations: This workout challenged balance, flexibility, and coordination, which are not only important for F3 workouts, but also will help us through life. Proper balance, flexibility, and coordination allow us to have the functional fitness necessary to use our strength in daily situations without injury.

CoT:
YHC shared some insights he has recently had regarding manliness and what it means to “take it like a man.” This “take it like a man” must be adjusted based on the circumstances. There are many times stoic manfulness is necessary to help ourselves and others get through difficult times. On the other hand, there are times when a manful humility is needed, when we need to ask for help or humbly accept correction. Both approaches are different facets of “being a man.” Also being a man involves discipline and establishing and sticking to healthy routines. Kudos to all PAX involved in F3 for this.

We ended with the Gonzaga prayer.
