The Journey – 23 – ’24 Tour of Duty

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.

Chugging $1 beers downtown

WARMUP: mossy to parking lot across from Little Caesars. 10 windmills, 15 SSH, 15 LSS, 10 merkins. Since Bobber missed half of the warm up, we rinsed and repeated for him.

THE THANG: mossy to the first bar – Pint Shop – for some bar chugging pain. 5 rounds to complete a 1/4 of the Murph (5 pull-ups 10 merkins 15 squats). Run to Emmits, 1 round of 3 exercises (these 3 were repeated at all stops but with different number of rounds – 10 merkins, 15 squats, 20 LBCs). Missy to Armor artis for 2 rounds, mossy to Illumination for 1 round (3 rounds were called but due to high volume of mumble chatter reduced to 1 to avoid cops), mossy to Flower Bar for 2 rounds, lunge walk to FM eatery for 1 round, lunge walk to Hobos for 1 round. Run to intersection with 160 and do 5 burpees then run back to Emmits for 5 burpees. Rinse and repeat one more time then mossy to COT

We all enjoyed the beer chugging pain at each of the drinking holes in downtown. We even discussed opening up a college bar servig $1 beers in plastic cups as this would be a real $$$$ maker.

God often hides opportunities to be faithful. Don’t miss them

WARMUP:

Mosey around the parking lot admiring the new smooth pavement. Then some SSH, Windmill, Moroccan Nightclubs, Imperial Walkers & Hillbilly Walkers. Finishing with a mosey over to the band lot. Which it should be noted is not nicely newly repaved…

THE THANG:

Kind of a modified shuttle run design

From the end zone line, run to the other end zone and do one squat and run back.

Once back, run to the other end zone again, do one squat, bear crawl 10 yards, do 2 squats, then run back.

Once back, run to the other end zone again, do one squat, bear crawl 10 yards, do 2 squats, bear crawl 10 yards and do 3 squats, then run back.

Continue doing this until you are doing 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 squats, each with a 10 yard bear crawl on the return (so the return run gets shorter each revolution).

I interspersed some of this with a brief discussion of the impact of walking in faith in my life. God often presents opportunities that appear as struggles or obstacles/setbacks in our life. He never promised life would be easy, but did promise it is for a purpose. Life life with a purpose and faith in a bigger picture, and often you will see in hindsight, those obstacles were the refiners fire preparing you for opportunities you never even imagined.

Hebrews 12.1 says “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”
