BOM:

Men, as we come off Veterans Day weekend, I want us to pause and remember the cost of what we often take for granted.

There are men and women who have carried real weight — who’ve bled, sacrificed, and stood the line so we could gather freely here this morning in safety, in community, and in faith.

Freedom isn’t free — it’s handed down through courage, through perseverance, and through lives willingly laid down for something greater.

But that freedom also comes with a responsibility. As men, we’re called to carry the weight of that gift well — to live with integrity, to serve others, and to stand firm in the arena of life when it’s not easy.

So today, as we finish this workout, let’s honor those who’ve gone before us — not just with words, but with how we live. Let’s be men who carry freedom forward through the way we lead, love, and serve.

MOLESKIN:

Every freedom we enjoy was paid for by someone’s courage, someone’s suffering, someone’s willingness to endure. The same is true in faith — freedom in Christ was purchased at a cost we could never repay.

So the question for us as men is this: what will we do with the freedom we’ve been given? Will we use it for comfort, or will we let it sharpen our gratitude and drive us to live with purpose?

The chiseled man — the man in the arena — knows that endurance and freedom are born from sacrifice. And when we remember that, we begin to live differently.

“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” — Galatians 5:13

Lets go get it!! 😀
