F3 Prayer Convergence for Clover Schools 2019

Leave a comment

Ecclesiastes 4:12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Calling All PAX of Lake Wylie and Clover to step up and live out the 3rd F. Most of us have children that attend Clover schools, as well as neighbors, friends and family that work at these schools. Some PAX work in these schools. What better way to start off the school year than to go to the schools, physically go, and pray?!? Regardless of how we are connected to them, we are all impacted by what happens in these schools and this is a chance for us to live out what we are called to do.

What: The Lake Wylie PAX (at least 2, preferably 3 or more at each location!) converging at multiple schools in the Clover School District, to pray for the students, school leadership, every employee of the school, the safety of the school, etc.

When: Sunday, August 11th, 5:00PM

How (do I get involved): Pick a school, let me know which one, grab a few fellow PAX and show up, ready to pray. Spread the word in COT!!! Take your M’s, 2.0 and Spread the Word at your Church (especially with the Church Leadership)

Why: Evil looks for every opportunity to cause chaos in schools. Now, more than ever, we need prayer. We pray that any and all evil is kept away from these schools, administrators, teachers, children and families. We also pray that God uses the believers in these school to be a light unto those that do not know him (students and adults alike).

Thanks to Beacon for getting this going!

Leave a comment

3rd F

Alright we are 2 years ago we did a mountain trip to Roan Mtn. it was one of the best trips I have made with my fellow F3 brothers. After 10-16 miles we went to Daniel Boone Inn to refuel.

With this in mind I wanted to continue to do this hopefully every year. So on August 3rd we are going to do another mountain trip. This time it will be Trail Running, Biking and Rucking options.

Our destination will be DuPont State Forest. We will leave from the Newport Walmart at 6 am it is a 2 1/2 hr trip. we will either go to the Hooker Falls Access or the Lake Imaging Access. For runners we will try and get 12-18 miles in for Mountain bikers Vuvuzela has about 20-30 mile rout lined up.

 

2nd F

Afterwords will will go to Daddy D’s and refuel.

 

Make sure you bring water and something for energy do not come unprepared you will regret it. I did exactly that last time. This will be an unforgettable trip that we will try and do every year. we need to clown car to get there since there are no rental vans available.

Reach out to me if you have any questions.  I have attached links below.

Pre-Blast: Deepening your relationship with Christ

1 Comment

Are you interested in growing in your faith walk? Discovering a path toward an Intimate, Abiding relationship with Christ through a small group study during the ’19 – ’20 school year.

Maybe you have been in the church for your entire life, the last 10 years or you are just now opening your mind to this idea of a higher power… a “Sky Q”.  Regardless of where you are in your faith walk we all have room to grow and mature in our relationship with Christ.

We are all on a faith journey and some of us are more or less equipped to take our faith deeper.  If you have a gap in any of these areas then I have a challenge for you.

  1. Do you feel that you have created a solid foundation of knowing who God is and his desire to be a part of your life?
  2. Are you in a group that is consistently seeking to grow in a relationship with God?
  3. Do you feel that you have an adequate tool kit to help you grow deeper in your faith?

On August 22nd, we will be launching into a Journey to build from the ground up a knowledge of who God is and to start to learn how to have an intimate, abiding relationship with him.  Please reach out to any of the following pax to learn more and to get involved.

Orange Crush, Lug Nut, Crawdaddy, Spitz, Chicken Hawk, Free Bird, Spud, Sugar Daddy, ‘Stang, Corn Hole, Gridlock, Gopher, The Professor, Cobra Kai, Smithers, Destiny, Catfish

8-week Study group on Present Perfect

Leave a comment

Image result for perfect presence gregory boyd Dates: 3/18 – 5/20

If you are looking for a for a study that is more about building a relationship with God rather than deep scriptural study then you may want to be a part of this study the next 8 week.  Please take a moment and read the reviews of the book and click on the link below to learn more about what we will dive into the next 8 weeks.

Why:  My word for this year is “Living” as in learning to live more in the presence of God. Through that intention God has placed this book, “Present Perfect”, a tool to learn more about this idea of being present with God.  After reading it, the lessons are so powerful and foundational to my life that God has inspired me to write a study manual and lead other men to experience and grow together through this concept of presence

Who: I’ve purposely not hand picked guys for this Journey because I know there are guys that I wouldn’t think of that God is calling into this study.  I’m looking for a max of 6 guys that feel called to engage in a deep way and are seeking to grow in their intimate, abiding relationship with God to join me on an 8-week journey.  This will not be a large group bible study rather rather more a practical application of God’s word.  If this is a calling that you feel God calling you too then email brianbrenner09@gmail.com or call me 804-240-1509 to secure a spot and get your book ordered from amazon (LINK and read the reviews.)  If the timing is not right for you then I would challenge you to read the book on your own time and maybe participate in round 2 in the future.

What – Study Format:  

  • In preparation for our group time together each Monday you will read a chapter of the book (about 15 pages) and review and engage study guide for that week  <LINK>
  • In our discussion, we will learn from each other what impressions the teaching had on you and the affect of the exercises have on helping you get closer to God.

When:  Starting at 5:15AM – 6:00AM on Monday 3/18 through Monday 5/20 (taking off spring break week 4/15)

Where:  TBD (only for the 6 guys to know…)
