Captain’s Commissioning

Unlocks when all 7 weeks land — finish each week with any one of its SACAs. Lead with all three legs — compassion, responsibility, authority. Sign your Captain’s Charter, post the screenshot in the channel, and walk one brother through one thing you learned. "And the things you have heard from me, entrust to faithful men." — 2 Timothy 2:2
