The Journey – 23 – ’24 Tour of Duty

Leave a 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 ’23 – ’24 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 July 13th (for 4 weeks) at ‘Hanging with Stang, we will be launching into an introduction of the Journey through a short study.  Come and join to learn more and see how this intersects with your season of life in your faith Journey.  Please reach out to Chicken Hawk, JWOW or Cornerstone with any questions.

The Testament!

Leave a comment

Hey guys! If you haven’t heard, the Wild at Heart series Q’s by @kaiser was a huge success! We had some great conversation and fellowship that lead to many sharing their hearts and becoming better men as a result.
Now that Wild at Heart is finished, this 3rdF AO will be known as “The Testament” and will be Q’d in a rotating fashion. We’re setting up a few bible study series with videos that will allow anyone to show up and be a part of the conversation (no pre-work needed) If you’re not already involved in a 3rdF event then this is will be the place to be!!
I will be taking the first Q for a 4 part series on Holy Habits. This is the concept of aligning your day to day activities with Gods will for your life. I’ll be sending out study guides before each meeting for anyone who wants to de some pre-work.

Come grow stronger in your faith along side your brothers!
6:15am every Wednesday at the Springfield clubhouse. Coffee is provided (and occasionally donuts!)

Konverging for Kenya

Leave a comment

We are converging on 6/10 to host an epic beatdown @FMHS (fort mill high school) at 0600. 1 HR with a weinke designed by the PAX of F3 Nairobi! They will also be completing the workout as well.

The plan is to raise $$ to purchase a vehicle for transportation of PAX to workouts, supporting efforts to assist in community and coordinating donations etc. The need is tremendous and our financial support is magnified in Kenya.

Additionally we have submitted an application for a matching grant from the foundation. Not approved yet but hopefully it will be. Timeline would be mid June for the grant should it be approved! Lake Wylie and Rock Hill regions have been invited as well and are promoting in their regions.

Finally of course a tshirt is in the works and will hopefully be available for purchase before or at the event! Thanks PAX!!!

The Gladiator Games are Coming…

Leave a comment

Its not often Trucker has a good idea, but credit is due where its due. YHC will revive the contest of champions where survival is the best case scenario. The object is to get to the end of the course as fast as you can, simple. Pax will start 2-5 minutes apart and fight their way to the end. This 20 minutes ass kick fest will have you taking the rest of the week off. Forget the UVU shxt. This is UV Everyone. Top time takes the title of Gladiator until the games return again….if they ever do. Last running of the bulls was nearly 8 years ago and a Gastonia Pax took the crown.

Lets see if all these cute little murphs and black diamond workouts have done anything to prepare you. There’s gonna be more than a sink there so be prepared for what’s beyond.

Synchronize your watches to converge at Catawba Ridge Football Parking Lot at a special start time of 5am. Ill take your reading this an an HC

Acceleration, Fellowship and Leadership – all at one AO?!?

Leave a comment

Now that YHC is back in the world of site Q’s and has learned that I don’t need word press for a pre blast 😬, here’s your notification that we have brought back a Thursday AO to Fort Mill High – The Coach’s Box arrived last week albeit under the shadows of AKA.  

Now that the Tour De Fort (AKA) is complete, I expect regular attendance from PAX who seek not just to accelerate their 1st F but to accelerate their leadership as well.  I’ll expound a bit.

Many of you know my enthusiasm for leadership and its study. In moving the AO back here, the Coach’s Box was fitting as every Q, just like a good coach, will bring a leadership message to accompany their workouts (saying weinke would have felt a bit awkward there 😬).  

Last week, Sugar Daddy gave us a great message from his former baseball coach.  Work fast, change speeds, throw strikes.  This week, Spiderman brings something new.  Fogerty the week after.  You get the idea.

This AO also is very proximate to Hanging with Stang – where anyone can (and should) conveniently stack their first and second F together. After all, we’re called to accelerate in all three F’s.  

It was YHC’s intent to establish an AO that brought Acceleration, Leadership & Fellowship all in one experience.  If you like the idea of that – you know where to post on Thursdays.  I look forward to seeing all of you there very soon.  

SYITG!
