– Isn’t afraid to look foolish rolling around in the mud before the sun comes up, every day
– Isn’t afraid to turn his back on excuses
– Isn’t afraid of the seemingly impossible and ludicrous (e.g., CSAUP)
– Isn’t afraid to look up and ask for help, every day
– Isn’t afraid of a silly nickname
– Isn’t afraid to follow enthusiastically

– Isn’t afraid to get up early, insanely early
– Isn’t afraid to open up to brothers about struggle
– Isn’t afraid to take responsibility and ownership
– Isn’t afraid to serve when no one is looking

– Isn’t afraid to help
– Isn’t afraid to need fellowship
– Isn’t afraid to be inclusive, rather than exclusive
– Isn’t afraid to put positive pressure on a brother (EH), every day
– Isn’t afraid to ask for help, when he’s afraid
