Identify vs Armor

YHC shared from the heart — not advice, just something real. Sometimes courage gives another man permission to set his armor down. The focus was on identity — how childhood experiences shape us, and how facing them head-on leads to growth and freedom.

Many of us carry old wounds that taught us to shut down emotionally. Those patterns can follow us into our leadership, relationships, and fatherhood. The truth: our identity isn’t defined by the world or our situation, but by Christ. When it’s built on Him, it’s unshakable — built on purpose and longevity that forges character.

Through this process, YHC shared lessons learned:
• Identifying lies vs. truth
• Setting healthy boundaries and learning to say “no”
• Becoming decisive as a husband and father
• Letting go of people-pleasing
• Finding strength through faith, family, and brotherhood

The journey isn’t over — but progress is real. Growth means discovering strength in the struggle, and realizing we do have something to offer.

Takeaway:
Your foundation determines your resilience.
Your story might be the permission another man needs to heal.

Ruck Club

We had 6 ruck club members and 5 runners which is a new ruck club historical marker. Thank you to all who made this accomplishment happen. Grateful to your dedication.

Very specific running route instructions were given and none of the 5 runners ran the route. But… fellowship. That happened. So we are good.

Prayers for Karin Ms Double D, those traveling, and dealing with our kids.
