F3 HOPE Challenge

Over the past few months at least 2 PAX in our region have been effected by someone close to them committing suicide.  From August 2011 until August 2012, I struggled with suicidal thoughts. For me it was the grace and hope of Jesus Christ that got me through that dark time. So if you or someone you know is struggling in that area too, there is HOPE.

As men of F3 one of our tenants is that we strive to be #HIM (high impact men). So here is my challenge to all PAX:

Take 20-30 seconds to share a struggle that you were able to overcome in a COT. Share your HOPE.

It could be a struggle with your career, kids, marriage, alcohol, pornography, depression, anger, addiction, relationship, etc. And then take it one step further, post it on your regions private GroupME or Slack channel with the hashtag #f3hopechallenge.  Cross the finish line when you make yourself available to talk to another PAX one-on-one who is struggling with the same thing right now.

If you have struggled with it, there are those among us who are struggling too. The hope you declare, just may be the hope that another PAX needs to hear to help him through his dark time.

This challenge will run until the end of September. That is when I turn 50. Without hope I would not have seen this milestone, I would be dead.

Here is a suggested format for COT:

I struggled with (fill in the blank) but I overcame it by (fill in the blank). So if you or someone you know is struggling with that too, there is hope. Reach out to me if you like to talk further.

Here is a suggested format for regions social media:

I struggled with (fill in the blank) but I overcame it by (fill in the blank). So if you or someone you know is struggling with that too, there is hope. PM me if you like to talk more. #F3HOPEchallenge.

AYE!
