Group Twitter @f3Sword As men, we desire constant improvement, which is why we frequently get together in the gloom to discipline our bodies and keep it under control (1 Cor 9:27).

Concrete block walls, topped with razor wire and broken glass, raced by the whitewashed cage as our driver downshifted into the corner throwing us, his cargo, hard against the wooden bench. Dented pickups and SUV’s jostled in both directions between clusters of locals all hemmed by the tight packed houses opening up only sporadically to …

18 pax made a great choice to beat the fartsack early this morning and come post at The Armory (wait, are we THE or just ARMORY?).

I BELIEVE yet I’ve never BEEN. I’ve never walked where Jesus walked and I’ve never seen the land that Jesus saw. That’s gotta change. Have you been? Don’t we have to go at least once? If you’ve been once…why not twice? If you’re like me you’re a Christian and have been for decades. Yet I’ve …
Last year F3 men from three different regions teamed up for a fall mission trip to Haiti hot on the heels of Hurricane Matthew’s pass over the island nation. It was a trip that was in the planning stages for months but was used, due to that disaster, at the height of their need. F3Haiti …
When my wife and I had the idea to create Operation Sweet Tooth to honor our daughter’s memory, we had no idea of how our initiative would be welcomed.

It’s not an accident. Men of purpose and impact are intentional about their lives. Men who become part of F3 start to explore the idea of Faith. In many cases, this starts with asking questions like, “What do I believe? What do I value? What is important to me? Is there more than just writing …

Last Saturday I was blessed to have witnessed a display of spontaneous community support in response to an urgent need, the likes of which I have not seen before.

On April 4th, on Easter’s Eve, 17 men posted on a soggy morning at Finaly Park for The Mission. This was our second installment of The Mission AO, and it came complete with rain to wash away the pounds of pollen in the air. Thankfully the men of the Mission preserved through the deluge to …
We had a really great workout at The Mission this morning, and have been presented our next opportunity to help these fine men. For the second week in a row, we had guys posting in denim. Today it rained pretty good, so they were soon working out in wet denim. I don’t know of anyone who …
I love Easter. You see, awhile back I got sober this time of year so the season holds a special meaning for me. For me, Easter is all about second chances. History is full of examples of guys being given second chances. During last night’s Good Friday service, Dean Wormer read the long account of …

I was deeply encouraged this week to see several pax organize a 3rd F opportunity in the Lexington area. After almost 6 months of posting, I agree with No Show: “F3 has changed me physically more than spiritually.” With other pax sharing the same thoughts and realizing the need to dig deeper spiritually, conversations started happening …
