F3 Southwake Pax:

Aye – as I have mentioned in a few COTs as we closed out last week, we are moving into becoming an official “Region” of F3.  In order to be an official region, we have to have a few leadership positions in place to ensure smooth operations in all three Fs and other areas.  These leadership positions are:

• 3F Qs: We need a Q for each of the three 3F:
  • 1^st F – Fitness
  • 2^nd F – Fellowship
  • 3^rd F – Faith
• COMZ: We will need a COMZ person for communications, social media and a website presence.
• Weasel Shaker: We also need a position called the Weasel Shaker – he basically makes sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to be – a rule follower.

Since we have been in the incubation stage of an official Region for over a year now. I am going to stay on as Nantan but I think these roles should be renewed with new leaders every year.  Each year, around Thanksgiving, we will nominate new positions.  I have given this a lot of thought – consulted with a few others and I would like to announce our 2019 Southwake roles.  Below is a description of the general duties of each role and the 2019 Pax that will fill the role:

Each of the #HIM below will be reaching out to Pax to form committees for all of these roles – please let one know if you are interested in helping!

1^st F Q:  Pikachu

• The 1^st F guy ensures the smooth running of the AOs.
• He makes sure that SiteQs are doing their jobs, and often will hold regular meetings to do so.
• 1^st F Q also helps to plan and execute CSAUPs
• He works with the Nant’an and WS to look at growth of 1^st F AO plants.
• He holds regular Q Schools for new(er) Pax, for PHT.

2^nd F Q:  Emeril

• Party Pants. Whether it be happy hours, family picnics, Christmas Parties, or Coffeeteria, this is the guy who makes the donuts.
• The ComzQ is his best friend, as he attempts to get Pax motivated and excited about Fellowshipping together.

3^RD F Q:  Slide Rule

This job is one of the tougher ones… the 3^rd F Q really needs to understand the needs and wants of his Pax.

• He can plant anything from a weekly Bible Study to an open discussion group to a regular community service opportunity for Pax.
• His role is the essence of the real mission of F3.
• Male COMMUNITY Leadership. It’s ambiguous on purpose, but it needs to make IMPACT.

COMZ Q :  Gump

It may be obvious, but… This man is the Q for making sure the Pax stay connected to one another.

• He understands very clearly that 2^nd F does not end at the AO or at the Happy Hour. Part of what makes F3 work is a dedicated man to keep the drum beating so that Pax have community one with another.
• He manages the content of the website
• He can explore other opportunities for communications: Twitter, Slack, GroupMe, Newsletters, etc. are the tools he uses.
• Should be reasonably tech-savvy.

Weasel Shaker – Skid Mark

The man which “shakes the weasels” and makes sure they are all doing what they are supposed to do.

• He is a spreadsheet loving, rule embracing, detail-oriented sort that helps to give the Nant’an the information he needs to effectively guide and make decisions on how to empower Pax to become the leaders they have been called to be.
• He keeps his ear to the ground, and his finger on the pulse of the Pax with the Nant’an
  • For example: Wednesday numbers are really high, might be time to split the workout; or, I’ve plotted all the Pax houses on this map and it looks like we could use an AO on the other side of town

I would like to begin these “official roles” at the beginning of the year.  I have talked this over with a few others and we feel that the ideal term for one of these positions is 1 year with new leadership coming in every January 1.

I am very excited with Southwakes growth over the past 6 months and that now we are an official region.   You #HIM have made such a positive impact on my life that it is hard to put into words.  I love you all like brothers and I look forward to 2019 and beyond.
