Before announcements and prayer requests YHC explained that the layout of this workout had a purpose to it.
So many times in life we put the comfortable and easy things in the center. We only allow the hard and difficult things to get attached to the outside of our safe zone. Being a good Christian and follower of Christ is very difficult with so many influences of sin. I find myself placing God on the outside of my comfortable life, and claiming the title Christian because I have a stiff arm length relationship with HIM. Burpees can be painful and difficult, but of all the exercises they are the most impactful. Christ can be like those Burpees in the middle. We cringe at the idea of facing our Savor because of our sins, but if we open our hearts and put HIM in the middle we will get better and grow stronger. God is the perfect Q. If we follow HIS lead, and practice perfect form we will find HIS grace and become purpose driven for HIS Kingdom.
Its an honor to have led these men today. I hope their hearts, minds, spirits were challenged as much as their bodies were.
