We had a discussion about Surrendering Control. Here are a few of the questions I asked and some we didn’t get to.

When was the last time God asked you to do something that made you uncomfortable or felt beyond your abilities?

What is God calling you to do right now that you're resisting because you don't feel qualified?

Where are you currently leaning on your own understanding instead of trusting God?

What would change if we responded to God with "Here I am, send me" more often?

What area of your life is hardest to surrender: work, marriage, finances, health, reputation, or something else?

Final Takeaway: God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the obedient.

ANNOUNCEMENTS were made
COT: We ended with prayer.

F3 Mentorship Discussion
Opening Question
"Who is someone that invested in you and helped shape the man you are today?"
Allow each man to briefly answer.

What Is Mentorship?
Mentorship is one man intentionally helping another man grow. It is not about having all the answers. It is about sharing experience, wisdom, accountability, and encouragement.
In F3, mentorship happens naturally:
An older man guiding a younger man
A veteran HIM helping a new guy
A father teaching a son
A husband learning from another husband
A leader developing future leaders
A mentor doesn't create followers. A mentor creates more leaders.

Scripture
Proverbs 27:17
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
This verse captures the heart of F3. Growth rarely happens alone. We become better through relationships, accountability, and honest conversations.

Discussion Points
1. Everyone Needs a Mentor
No matter our age, title, or experience level, there is always someone who has walked a path before us.
Questions:
Who do you seek advice from?
When was the last time you intentionally asked another man for guidance?
What area of your life could benefit from mentorship right now?

2. Everyone Needs a Mentee
Many men believe they are not qualified to mentor because they are still figuring life out.
The truth: Someone is behind you on the journey.
You don't need perfection. You need willingness.
Questions:
Who are you investing in?
Is there a younger man, co-worker, son, teammate, or FNG who could benefit from your experience?
What knowledge are you holding that could help someone else?

3. Mentorship Requires Time
Mentorship isn't built in a single conversation.
It requires:
Consistency
Trust
Availability
Vulnerability
The greatest impact often comes from simple moments:
A coffee meeting
A workout conversation
A phone call
Showing up when someone needs help
Questions:
Are you making time to develop other men?
What keeps you from investing in others?

4. Legacy Is People
At work, projects end. Kids grow up. Athletic accomplishments fade.
The lasting impact of a man is often found in the people he influenced.
Think about:
What do you want people to say about the investment you made in them?
Who will carry your values forward?

F3 Connection
F3 exists to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Mentorship is how that mission continues.
A strong region is built when:
New men are welcomed.
Leaders develop leaders.
Men challenge and encourage each other.
Nobody walks alone.

Closing Challenge
This week:
Identify one man who mentors you and reach out to thank him.
Identify one man you can intentionally invest in.
Schedule a conversation with one of them before next week's workout.
The strongest chain is built one link at a time. The same is true for mentorship. Every man in this circle has something to learn and something to teach.
MARY: She fartsacked
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men Shelter
COT: Prayers and Praises
