Fire Team Seven (FT7)
In a world marked by constant change, where shifts are as regular as the seasons, the value of small groups in driving growth becomes ever clearer. Drawing inspiration from the military's Fire Team model—which boosts efficiency and effectiveness through tight-knit groups that strategically overpower adversaries—Fire Team Seven (FT7) emerges. This team, consisting of four seasoned experts with over thirty years in the warrior domain, embraces a strategy that transcends physical might. They believe in winning hearts and souls, not just battles.
In confronting deceptive challenges, FT7 harnesses the power of scripture to reclaim what the enemy covets most: souls. Through a disciplined regimen of work, scripture study, and shared challenges, they fortify their spiritual and communal bonds. While six days are devoted to labor and learning, the seventh is a time of renewal through fellowship and the Word, reinforcing the belief that strength grows in unity.
As FT7 promotes the profound impact of small groups, they invite you to listen, learn, and possibly integrate your group with theirs. Join us in this endeavor to fortify men in their spiritual journey, encouraging them to embrace and express the divine aspect of masculinity, and to build a community deeply rooted in faith. Tune in to discover how small teams, bound by scripture and fellowship, can transform the spiritual landscape.

This story serves as an example to all that God says, "...thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak" (Jer 1:7 KJV), and it's usually only a matter of how we finally submit to the Lord. Where Jonah failed to submit to God's order to go to prophecy to Nineveh, the great sea creature obeyed the Lord "... thou shalt go..."
