Men of F3 Knoxville!
There are no quips, no great motivating words, today is all about business! However, with school out very soon, it’s time to check on the kotters, invite the guys back who have been fart-sacking, double down on the FNG’s. Remember, F3 needs all of us to be the movement it has become. It takes all of us!
Here is a call to action from Dredd, reminding us all to get in the fight.

⚒️ QSource: Meeting (Q-1.12) ⚒️
The Public Manifestation Of Faith
Faith is best Accelerated in the company of others
Here is an excerpt from the Q Source.
However he seeks answers to the WHAT-WHAT, the HIM does not go about it alone. He recognizes that a man who believes in the efficacy of Prayer and seeks Truth through Study must externally proclaim his allegiance to the promulgator of both. He does this through Meeting, the public manifestation of his Faith.There are logistical obstacles to Meeting. A man has to get his family up in time, fed and in the car. He then has to park and find a place in the pew without killing one of his children first.
Having fought through the logistical obstacles, he may then ask himself why he bothered. He often finds himself sitting next to someone he doesn’t much like, someone with whom he would never voluntarily socialize. He may not like the way the service is conducted or the message that is disseminated. He has other things he could be doing–maybe things that he should be doing. Why must he work so hard to get to a place that aggravates him so much?

Here are some Socratics (thought-provoking questions) to think about when it comes to Q-1.12.
Is there something to be gained through corporate worship?
Is there any relationship between Leadership and attendance at church?
Are pastors affected by who is sitting in their pews?
