3rd F – September Theme: Strength Through Steadfastness

  • QIC: Cornerstone
  • When: 09/01/2025
  • Posted In: 3rd f

Spiritual View:
“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9

Steadfastness is more than endurance—it’s faithfulness under pressure. It’s the quiet strength to stay the course when progress is slow and results are unseen. Galatians reminds us that God honors perseverance. Even when you’re tired, overlooked, or discouraged, your obedience matters. The fruit doesn’t always show right away, but the harvest is coming.

When the fire fades and the path feels uphill, it’s steadfastness that keeps us rooted. Spiritual maturity isn’t built in the highs—it’s forged in the middle, where you choose to keep doing good even when it’s tough. Stand firm. The mission is worth it.

Non-Religious View:
Steadfastness is the long game. It’s the resolve to keep showing up—when motivation is gone, when no one’s watching, and when the payoff isn’t immediate. In a world addicted to speed and instant results, steadfastness sets you apart. It says, “I’m in this for the long haul.”

Whether it’s building your career, showing up for your kids, investing in relationships, or becoming a stronger leader—progress takes time. Discipline might get you started, but steadfastness is what finishes the race.

In F3, we grind together. We sweat, we grow, and we remind each other that the mission is bigger than today’s discomfort. So if you’re feeling weary—good. That means you’re in the fight. Don’t quit now.

Alcatraz OG’s

Warmup with a short mosey, windmills, imperial walkers, merkins, plank stretches, and then off to the hill.

Modified Dora: using the top half of the hill.

  • Half the group does big boy sit-ups, half the group runs a lap. Flip flop.
  • Round 2:  Flutters for two laps.  Flip flop.
  • Round 3: LBC’s for three laps.  Flip flop.

A few rounds of step ups on the backstop benches, with a set of dips and a set of decline merkins.

Over to the wall where we had the opportunity to sit against the wall while taking turns critiquing both technique and form during individual bear crawls.

Q swap, and Jekyll took us straight to the Wheel-o-pain.  Credit and respect to Funhouse!
Everyone completed at least two full rounds of the wheel performing exercises at each spoke, lunge or bear crawls to the hub,  for 5 burpees and mosey tot he next spoke.  #brutal.

Thanks @Masterpiece for the opportunity to lead.

Praise for all of our blessings, including this community of men. Prayers for marriages, those sick, injured, or struggling, and those supporting them.
