Started by reading Romans 5:3-6,8
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭3-6, 8‬ ESV)

Talked about how suffering is part of our Christian walk and how Christ suffered the ultimate pain on the cross for all of our sins so that we might be justified by faith (reference Romans 4 and Abraham being justified by faith).
Since I like to try and draw parallels between the workout to come and the passage selected, it lined up nicely since a form of suffering was about to come.

Reminder that even though suffering was involved in the workout, that was temporary and we needed to focus on eternal things.
How do you get better at suffering?
Let go and LET GOD TAKE OVER. Submit to God and let Him handle it in His strength.

It was an honor leading these 16 strong men today and seeing all push their limits and some come alongside and help carry some of the burden of the number of reps. Great demonstration of how we, as brothers in Christ, should help each other push through and sometimes help carry the burdens in life. Great job men!!! Aye!!
