Berean is a long-standing Isotope workout that was originally started as a way to accomplish 1f and 3f and still finish by the "regular" 0615 finish time. Today 4 hard-chargers sallied out early (0515) to return Berean to its roots by accomplishing all 3 F's by 0620. The Berean format is:
0515-0600 beat down.
0600-0620 (ish): 3rd F "Monday Morning Quarterback" coffeeteria
0620 (ish)- 0700: 2nd F
In today's 1f portion we stayed nice and dry under the Birkdale parking deck. We accomplished mucho cardio, strength and mobility.
In the "Monday Morning Quarterback" session each pax is afforded the opportunity to briefly summarize what he heard and learned at whatever 3rd F Sunday service he may have attended. This has a few beneifts. 1) It holds a man accountable for actually paying attention to the homily/sermon he attends on Sunday, since he knows he's supposed to share a summary on Monday morning. 2) The pax get to hear what other churches/services are presenting. 3) If a pax doesn't attend a Sunday service, for whatever reason, it gives him chance to get at least a snippet of what was presented.
In today's Monday Morning Quarterback Session, Canuck, Shaken and YHC presented brief summaries of three different variations on the same scriptural readings (we all attended different churches), and 9-Lives presented a summary of a completely different reading and lesson (from his "back up" church!) all in about 20 minutes. It was good to hear what each man gleaned from his service, and overall it contributed to all of our betterment.
