COT: How do we (positively) influence others? What makes us influential to others?

1. Ask others for what you want.
1. Many people want to help
2. Even if they don’t or won’t, they don’t take offense to being asked, it is flattering. 1. Give without conditions
2. Be a champion of people
1. Put you neck on the line for those that deserve it and both that person, and anyone who is aware of the situation will want you on their side. 1. Don’t tell them what to think, Teach them HOW to THINK!
– How do you want them to think about themselves?
– How do you want them to think about other people?
– How do you want them to think about the world at large?
1. Challenge People to Grow
– How do you want them to think about themselves?
– How do you want them to think about other people?
– How do you want them to think about the world at large?
1. Role Model the way
1. They show how they expect things should be done.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Grunt, Old Rag hike, cornhole tourney, and a gentlemen was hit yesterday by a trash truck close by — please keep him on your prayers and use caution around those trucks.
COT: Yesterday, Q saw a picture of Mt. Rainier and it immediately made his day as it reminded him of hiking it with his F3 buddies and the sense of accomplishment it brought. But more importantly, the journey of training, being disciplined, and creating life long friendships was more satisfying than the accomplishment of summiting the peak. Do hard things with the guys from F3. Find your Mt. Rainier. I bet the guys here will join you.

COT:
Q shared a reading about cynicism and hope that seemed especially relevant in this season from https://www.theredhandfiles.com/do-you-still-believe-in-us/), who wrote it in response to a question he received:
“You are right to be worried about your growing feelings of cynicism and you need to take action to protect yourself and those around you, especially your child. Cynicism is not a neutral position — and although it asks almost nothing of us, it is highly infectious and unbelievably destructive. In my view, it is the most common and easy of evils.

Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us, and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth. Hopefulness is not a neutral position either. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like, such as reading to your little boy, or showing him a thing you love, or singing him a song, or putting on his shoes, keeps the devil down in the hole. It says the world and its inhabitants have value and are worth defending. It says the world is worth believing in. In time, we come to find that it is so.”
