A New Identity - Kauai SERVE Testimonial
We were chosen for our gifts of varying areas and how God knit that together was nothing short of miraculous. He has laid out the beginning and the end, why would he not know the intricacies of the middle?
Full Armor IV: Testimony
This guest article was written and submitted by Rebecca Wong, a graduate of the Full Armor Leaders Course IV in the Fall of 2021. A fitness enthusiast and faith-seeker, she joined this community to grow in both to lead, manage and exercise with full strength. The following is her testimony of her experience.
Dry Bones Rise
At the end of October, a select group of leaders who have graduated from our Full Armor Leaders Course gathered in Southern California as the core fitness leadership team for a Beautifully Flawed Foundation event. “Gym Day” was a culmination of a 5-day experience for young men and women with physical disabilities of limb loss or limb differences as a call to action in living out the purpose of their testimony - learning to exercise the power of their confidence and capabilities not despite of, but because of their stories.
Friends of Bethany
The Friends of Bethany annual retreat is about a union and reunion of young women with amputations or limb differences who are made whole in their identity, bonded by faith and made strong in community, fitness and surf.
The Art of Learning
Unlike many sports of today, jiu-jitsu does not honor the ego. What might appear a combat sport to the outsider is a test in controlling the temperament of the mind in the flow of chaos - staying one step ahead of Fear. The mark of a great martial artist is the visible evidence of humility and a truly honorable black belt recognizes how much more they have to learn even once they have received the highest rank. The black belt has not become perfect in their principle, but has become a master in the art of learning.
Johnny Souza is a black belt inside and out.
