MOLESKINE: QSource
Starting in the new year a few of us are gathering to read, discuss and dive into F3’s QSource. It’s a year-long process, 1x a week for about 30-45 minutes per session.
What is the QSource? The Q-source is a source that is unknown to us. Why the letter Q? It’s used as the initial founder of the idea of the Q-Source was German and Q is the first letter of the German word quelle, which is the word for source.
Biblically, the assumption among bible thumpers is that Mark was the first written gospel. They came to this conclusion by analyzing Matthew and Luke — both Matthew and Luke have material in their gospels that is common to the gospel of Mark. At the same time, there is common material found in Luke and in Matthew that is not found in Mark. Fella’s that do this full time, scholars, try to account for this common information found in these two gospels that is absent from Mark’s gospel. The hypothesis is that Matthew and Luke had a second independent source that Mark did not use. This second independent source is called simply the “Q-source.”
In F3 lingo, the Q-Source came from David Redding (Dredd). He began searching for a way to provide a common set of principles that were as useful to our group in Aberdeen, Southern Pines, Pinehurst as they were to the men in Seattle. The QSource is F3’s leadership philosophy and yet is built on timeless principles to improve one’s leadership skills for the benefit of each one of our families, workplaces and neighborhoods.
- In the first quadrant you will explore what a man must do to Get Right – to be in proper personal alignment.
- In the second quadrant you’ll dive into what it means for a High Impact Man (HIM) to Live Right through dedication to Purposefulness.
- In the third quadrant you move into the Practice of Virtuous Leadership that is required to Lead Right.
- The final quadrant of the G3L, we take on the Leave Right, which is a Virtuous Leader’s construction of Legacy.
Most folks think F3 is a “workout” group…. But when you then spend the rest of your day thinking about your legacy due to the discussion held over coffee you know that this whole #f3nation thing is much more.
Aye!
