What a session looks like

Eat. Watch. Talk.

1

Eat

Every session starts with food, because good conversation happens around a table.

2

Watch

A short talk explores one of life's big questions, like who is Jesus, why pray, or how do I make the most of my life.

3

Talk

Open discussion where you can say what you really think, or just listen. No question is off the table.
