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.

On run back up the street, we did descending burpees at each pole: 9, 8, etc down to 1.

Shared discipline is stronger than self discipline

Leave a comment

“A cord of three strands cannot be broken”
Ecclesiastes 4:12

Discipline is defined as the training of oneself or others to obey rules, maintain order and achieve goals through self control and consistent action, even when unmotivated

YHC has always admired those with discipline in my life. It’s something I am working on and want to improve. But this discipline cannot be done in a vacuum or isolation. Willpower or white knuckling life is challenging for YHC and I required the support, encouragement and candor from others.

This workout was designed around this theme.

Windmills x 10
