Mission is simple – plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. This will be POD based as we communicate it

3rd F: Faith
From the Desk of our 3rdF Q, Psalty:
Q Source Weekly Weinke
Get Right – the first step of personal alignment – a Leader takes the Daily Red Pill – his commitment to accelerate his fitness, fellowship and faith.
Shield Lock is a man’s horizontal relationship with other men. A Shield Lock’s purpose is to create accountability, stimulate acceleration, and help men fight the Flux – the emotional reaction to the peaks and valleys in a man’s life. Hit that :shield: emoji if you read this
Ask other PAX about their experience with their Shield Lock. If they don’t have one, then start a new one together!
