What to expect
Our format is structured enough to be dependable and open enough for the Holy Spirit to guide meaningful conversation.
Opening prayer
We begin by inviting God to guide the conversation and use the time for His purposes.
Introductions around the room
Each person has an opportunity to share their name, business or role, and a brief personal update.
Devotional
Robert and John alternate creating devotionals that connect Scripture with business, leadership, stewardship, and everyday obedience.
Popcorn-style discussion
Participants respond freely, share experiences, ask questions, and offer biblical or practical insight. No one is pressured to speak.
Prayer requests and praise reports
Members may share needs, decisions, challenges, answered prayers, and reasons to celebrate.
Closing prayer
We close by praying over the requests, businesses, families, and next steps shared during the gathering.
