Whetstone has been an absolute blessing to me over this last year and has taught me many things. Main thing has been getting right with myself. Whether it’s dealing with my anxiety, being a better listener or being a better husband. In trying to be a better husband and understand my M better, my Stone and I recently discussed reading “The Love Dare” with my M. The Love Dare was made famous by the movie “Fireproof” staring Kirk Cameron. In the movie Kirk Cameron is a heroic fire captain who values dedication and service to others above all else. But the most important partnership in his life, his marriage, is about to go up in smoke. This story follows one man’s desire to transform his life and marriage through the healing power of faith and fully embrace the firefighter’s code: Never Leave Your Partner Behind.

Fitting isn’t it? The F3 credo is leave no man behind…What else is ironic is that The Love Dare is actually a 40 day challenge. Are you seeing where I am going with this?

“Lord, allow us to be better Men, Husbands, Fathers and leaders in our community, Amen.”

You hear this in almost every prayer during COT. I would like for all of us to focus on the better Husband part over the next 40 days. That said I want to challenge all of us to follow “The Love Dare”. There is a daily scripture, reading and a specific dare for you to for your spouse. The book states that some dares will be easy and some very challenging, but take each day seriously, and be creative and courageous in each attempt. I can tell you already from just starting; you will encounter your jester at some point. This is where you will learn how to overcome and conquer.

Now here is the best part, you don’t need to buy anything. I have the workbook and will be sharing each days reading and dare with you. Look for tweets from me with the hashtag #F3LoveDare. The Tweets will link to posts on the F3 Gastonia site.

Challenge will start on Saturday morning October 12th.

Have fun and enjoy the challenge.

AYE!
