Old skool and sucking the marrow out
07 June 2009
This weekend I felt like throwing some stuff out. There's nothing like visiting someone older to remind you of all the useless junk one can accumulate in a lifetime, but I digress... So I went through some old Christian stuff I had put in folders. "Back in the day" We ran a ministry training course called "Fightclub" where we trained each other to live and appy the Christian life.
There's probably about a whole ream of paper's worth in the picture I'm throwing out. Some of the topics covered included "Sexual Holiness" "Spong Spotting and Hin Hunting" tonnes of stuff about "Training", a couple of things on "How to apply the Bible". Three lots of stuff on How to write a sermon. Also covered was "The Gentle art of Evangelising Ockers" "Dealing with infertility" (I don't think any of us had kids at the time) and "Branding and the Christian Ethos".
As I trawled through all the paper, there was about 4 folders worth, (I've kept 3) it occurred to me that I've kept more information from "Flightclub" than from any of my uni courses. In fact I probably did more learning and working at church than I did at Uni during this period of my life. I don't regret it for a second. Looking back it's the stuff I learned during "Flightclub" that I value the most and reap the reward from now.

Ah, Fightclub.
Thanks for sharing the positive benefits mate.
I tend to just dwell on the massive workload and all teh fights that guys would have with their girlfriends/wives, trying to drag them along week after week...

There is a story there that has to be told some day...
Yes sir there is.
My memories are all fond (which says a fair bit cause I tend to look back on the past in a negative light), it certainly prepared me for my year at bible college. Such a cool name too "Fightclub".
