COT
– F3 is growing fast (between 30-40% annually) – but the need for F3 is growing faster
– There is a loneliness epidemic which is global and its having adverse impact on mental and physical health.
– The rates of depression and anxiety are skyrocketing – but alarmingly so for the next generations of men (up 100% for Millennials and 140% for GenZ since 2012).
– Couple these mental health challenges with the physical health of obesity rates, and the need for F3 becomes urgent. – Please join the breakfast and consider making a recurring investment in F3.

COT:

“Corrie ten Boom once said that if the devil can’t make you sin, he’ll make you busy. There’s truth in that. Both sin and busyness have the exact same effect—they cut off your connection to God, to other people, and even to your own soul.” >From The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer.

Who are we becoming? Where is our time going, how is our attention being spent? If we do not choose, it will be chosen for us, so choose in a way that honors our Creator and loves our neighbor.
