Deep soul refresher on Proverbs 24 – looked closely at
“Do not gloat when your enemy falls…” (v17–18)
“Partiality in judging is not good…” (v23)

Trying to examine where we falter in this pursuit with justice and mercy to all.

Lifted up various prayers for family with praises as our children reach milestones. Praying over new beginnings with 3rd F.

COT:
What are you expecting your future to be
Deep down we all carry a vision of what’s ahead. Most of us operate in one of these modes

Continuation
Same as today

Deterioration
Bracing for worse

Innovation
Small tweaks better habits

Transformation
A total shift. New mindset. New purpose

Romans 12:2 does not call for small change. It calls for transformation by the renewing of your mind

Transformation does not start with your circumstances. It starts within

You are already in motion. You showed up. You took the red pill. But are you chasing small wins or ready for a full reset

Challenge for today
Take inventory. Which mindset are you living in and what needs to change for transformation to begin

Let go of the old. Ask God to renew your mind

COT
F3 = Fitness: what attracts men to join
Fellowship: the glue that helps keep us together
Faith: the dynamite that changes us

F3 welcomes all men, regardless of faith background. We define faith simply as a belief in something greater than yourself. Personally, my faith is Christianity, and for those who are interested, there are opportunities to explore it further—like our Monday night Bible study (#iron-sharpens-iron) and the new Thursday morning AO led by @anchorman, #thefurnace.

If Christianity isn’t your path, I still encourage you to seek out something that gives your life purpose and direction. When you live with intention, you and those around you will see the impact.
