These relationships allow the men to lean on each other both through the workouts themselves, and also when things get difficult throughout the week. Experiencing these things together allows for men to challenge each other to better answer the call when life's difficulties arise. The workouts go on rain or shine (or wind or cold); this was again put on display after a recent string of extreme winter weather. Fit Shepherds gathered at 5AM on a Wednesday morning in January with wind chills approaching -15 degrees and completed the workout and scripture reflection. One week later, again at 5AM, they gather despite being met with a foot of snow. https://www.fitshepherds.org/home-1 daily 1.0 2022-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61369d3523f7281cfb6c7e72/db230efc-7ff2-4a1d-b924-e9cc9c4a8f8e/fit-shepherds-featured-photo.jpg Home - “There’s a crisis of good men in our world today. The standards that society hold for men seems to keep getting lower and lower and lower. We, as a society, have bought into the mantra that men will be men, boys will be boys. ... There’s a strong, strong narrative out there that lends to the idea that faith, religion, a relationship with Jesus – that’s a woman thing. Raising kids in the faith, that’s a mom thing. Taking kids to church, mom’s job. ... This narrative that is so strong leads to the idea of thinking that it’s ok for men to objectify women. ... This narrative lends to fatherless homes, or at least to being absent. … A new narrative needs to be created. ….So what’s the solution? …. I suggest that we work out together. … Meet me next Saturday in the church parking lot at 7 o’clock to work out. Those of you who have played sports growing up know that there is a special bond that is formed together when you work out with others. ... The goal is what? The goal is to write a new narrative. The goal is to transform the culture. To raise up better men for our society. To raise up better men for our families. Ultimately, to invite guys who are not of this fold to a life-changing encounter with Jesus.” -Fr.
