THE FX3 Warrior Way

The FX3 Brotherhood

Men and their families are under attack. Whether you know it or not, you’re in a spiritual war that manifests in the physical world. This spiritual war is against you, biblical manhood, and your family. The primary goal is to make you an ineffective man by having you chase false idols such as power, pleasure, praise, and possessions to find purpose and fulfillment.

Going further, society continues telling men they are disposable, unnecessary, and the root of society’s problems. Because of this, today, there is an ever-growing worldwide crisis among men, loss of identity and true purpose. We no longer know what it means to be a man. Instead, we’ve stood by the sidelines watching the game of life play out without us. We’ve passively allowed society to redefine manhood for us and drifted away from the truth.

For this reason, the world desperately needs men to be godly warriors to unite, protect, and uphold authentic manhood, and it’s good for all. For this reason, we need FX3 Warriors. FX3 Warriors are humble, wise, faithful, kind, courageous, self-disciplined, steadfast, good, gentle, and loving husbands, fathers, friends, and colleagues.

The FX3 Warrior Way is a brotherhood of men living on a mission to share Christ’s message of love, hope, and salvation with the world and help others do the same.

Requirements: How it Works

FX3 Small Groups

FX3 Small Groups are the lifeblood of the FX3 Warrior Way. Every man is highly encouraged to join a small group, or if none is available, start their own (potential leaders will be vetted). Every group is free to select the study that best fits their group’s needs. However, we will provide recommendations and multiple resources from third-party organizations and educational platforms. Regardless of the study selected, we require all resources to have a faith-based approach and foundation aligned with a Christ-centered theology.

FX3 Straight Talk

The last Thursday of every month, we host the FX3 Straight Talk event. The FX3 Warrior Way events includes dinner, speaker, case studies, and discussion on one of the ten fundamental areas of a man’s life. In addition, we often invite special guests and experts in their respective fields to discuss the issues and open the floor to questions. Past discussions included overcoming drug addiction, workplace ministry, battling pornography, and more.

Below is a monthly topic schedule:

  • January: Faith
  • February: Fitness
  • March: Family
  • April: Finances
  • May: Field of Work
  • June: Friendships
  • July: Free Time
  • August: Off
  • September: Feeding Others
  • October: Fellowship
  • November: Feeding Others
  • December: Focus

FX3 Socials

To keep men engaged and encouraged by other like-minded individuals, we create monthly and seasonal social events focused on general interests and topics men would enjoy. These events also provide a “no-commitment” opportunity for men to hang out with other FX3 men and create relationships. These socials allow men to get to know each other on a different level and experience life with each other. Here are a few examples of past and present social events:
  • Bowling Night
  • Movie Night
  • Beast Feast BBQ
  • Pro-sports & Popcorn
  • Game Night
  • Dudesgiving
  • Family Field Day
  • Cars & Coffee
  • Catch & Release
  • Target Practice

FX3 Serving

Every FX3 Warrior must serve in a ministry or with a local community organization. This requirement helps members model what authentic manhood looks like for others. Servant leadership is an integral characteristic of an FX3 Warrior.

Servant leadership is a leadership approach whereby we primarily emphasize the well-being of others rather than ourselves. This selfless act follows the teaching and life of what Christ did for us. Considering this, we also allow men to serve with FX3 Ministries as we partner with various local churches and community organization initiatives.

The FX3 Three Tenets

Unlike the stereotypical hard-charging, overtly aggressive, and arrogant, and selfish man, an FX3 Warrior man’s up and lives out his life according to the following three tenets based on 1 Cor. 16:13-14 (Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.):
  • Faith: We’re in a spiritual war and rely on God’s Word to lead us.We constantly battle with forces working against us, trying to prevent us from fulfilling our mission. To be victorious, we place our hope on Christ dying for our sins, then rising from the dead. Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf demands that we pursue a lifelong process of sanctification through His word and Spirit.
  • Fire: We submit to the Spirit’s authority to empower us. We rely on the Holy Spirit and the Word to empower and continually transform us into the likeness of Christ. To do this, we study His word in-depth to apply His teachings. We believe and accept that our identity and purpose are found in God’s word and rely on the Spirit for guidance, empowerment, instruction, and correction.
  • Fury: We’re on a mission to show others Christ’s sacrificial love. We individually and collectively live sacrificially for others by sharing Christ’s love, hope, and message of salvation with the world and helping others to do the same. In summary, we’re in a spiritual war with forces working against us, trying to prevent us from fulfilling our mission. To be victorious, we individually and collectively fight these battles under God’s leadership, according to his word and his example.

The FX3 Warrior CReed

An FX3 Warrior is a brave soldier on a mission, following God’s commands and fighting for others. In addition, to live according to the three tenents, every FX3 Warrior adheres to live by the warrior creed. The FX3 Warrior creed is as follows:

We believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.

We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
On the third day, He rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the universal church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

What others have said

  • This experience was so much more than could be possibly explained here. I went in thinking this was going to be another retreat with some good times but it turned out I was wrong for all the right reasons.
    Ralph - FX3 Brother
  • How much can I say here except...phenomenal. I've been to a few retreats and getaways but this was by far the one which changed me from the inside out and outside in. Stop thinking about it and just do it!
    Joe - FX3 Brother
  • Once in a blue moon you get opportunities you wished you hadn't passed up. Trust me when I tell you this is one of those you will regret fro not attending. There was so much I discovered about myself I didn't know needed work. This is the beginning of a new life!
