THE ANVIL “Hit it Hard”

I could not be more honored to Co-Q Anvil in this new Region. I am excited about the numbers and the quality of men who have come on board in the last few weeks. After 6 weeks, we have gained over 15 FNG’s! As my first time to solo Q a Saturday workout I wanted to bring in a few of the unique features that made us select this location.


Weather was perfect: clear, cool, and minimal dew on the ground. 53 DEG

Moleskin:
 Recently read an article about Community on the Q-Source sheet and this statement rang true:

"We seek strength in numbers for a variety of different reasons, but the most elemental is that life itself, while technically possible as a singleton, is not practical without combination with others. Loneliness is our subconscious yelling at us to go find a partner because we are not supposed to live like that. It’s dangerous (Jan 13, 2019 - https://f3nation.com/2019/01/13/groups-f-3 )."

Men we are capable of self destruction....

F3 has been planted in Aynor to serve men, to help families, to make dad's better at being a dad, and to give spouses husbands who will be healthier and happier.
YOU are important to your family. That is your first ministry. That is where you have the most impact. Part of your WHY for being here should reflect your love for them as well as your love for your brothers!
Watch your words. Don't let your anger or frustration tear those closest to you down.
Build a positive community at home, church, work, and F3.
Be a #HIM
