What actually happens at the Roundtable

People ask me what the Roundtable is before they come, and I have noticed that the usual descriptions do not help much. "A faith and work meetup" tells you nothing about whether it is worth your Wednesday morning.

So here is the plain version.

Who is in the room

Owners, CEOs, and senior leaders. People who actually run things and carry the weight of other people's paychecks. Usually eight to fifteen of us. Some have been coming for a year, some walked in that morning.

Everyone in the room has authority somewhere, which changes the conversation. Nobody is performing for a boss.

The two hours

We start with coffee and introductions, and that part is not filler. You cannot talk honestly with people you have not met.

Then we take one leadership challenge. Agility, hiring, kingdom economics, sales, whatever is live that month. I open it, but I am not lecturing. The value is in the room, and my job is mostly to keep the conversation useful and to bring the Ten Modes to bear where they help.

We open scripture on it. Not as a devotional bookend, but as a working text on the actual problem.

And we pray. Over the real things. The cash flow problem, the partner who is not pulling their weight, the decision someone has been avoiding for six weeks.

What it is not

It is not a webinar you watch. It is not a sermon. It is not a sales pitch for my coaching, and I would rather you came for years and never hired me than felt worked on.

The part that surprises people

Most leaders arrive expecting to learn something. They usually do. But the thing they mention afterwards is different: it is the relief of saying the hard thing out loud in a room where nobody is going to panic, and where the response is going to be prayer rather than advice.

That is confidential, by the way. What is said at the table stays at the table.

Practical details

Third Wednesdays, 8:00 to 9:55 in the morning, near Chantilly, Virginia. There is no charge and there are always refreshments.

Come once and see. That is genuinely all I would ask.
