Where can a business owner say, “I don’t know what to do”?

There aren’t many places.

All day long, people look to the leader for answers.

An employee needs a decision. A customer has a problem. The bank wants a plan. Your family wants to know if everything is okay.

And sometimes, you genuinely don’t know.

You don’t know what to do about the employee who isn’t working out. Whether to make the investment. How to handle the conflict.
Whether the opportunity in front of you is a blessing or a distraction.

Leaders need a place where they can say that out loud.

A C12 Forum is one of those places.

A confidential table of Christian CEOs and business owners who understand the weight of leadership and aren’t expecting you to have it all figured out.

They’ll ask questions. Share their experience. Pray with you. Challenge your assumptions. And sometimes simply remind you that you don’t have to carry the decision alone.

You may be the person everyone comes to for answers. Who do you go to when you don’t have one?

If you could only accomplish three things between now and the end of the year, what would make the list?

Not ten. Not everything currently marked “high priority.”

Three.

Which three things would make the biggest difference in your business, your family, or your life?

It’s a simple question, but it has a way of separating what really matters from everything that has simply found its way onto the calendar.

Then comes the harder question:

How much time are you spending this week on things that wouldn’t make the list?

Sometimes prioritizing isn’t about finding more time.

It’s deciding what doesn’t get it.

"Just get on your knees and say thank you, Lord, and that's where it starts."

That's what a friend told TJ Karam a few weeks ago in a cabin in Colorado. They were drinking coffee and playing gin rummy when his friend took him by the hand and said, "Let's pray."

TJ has started every morning that way since.

This week on The 323 Podcast, Tiffany sits down with TJ, an El Paso native who is 13 years sober. He shares about losing his dad in 2009, the addiction that followed, and the rehab where he found a faith that was finally his own. He also talks about his years as an actor in Chicago and the spring break trip home in 2020 that never ended.

A lot of us skip time with God because we think it has to be big to count. If we don't have 30 minutes, we don't start. TJ thought the same way for years.

So he started with a short prayer. It has been growing ever since.

Where could you start small this week?

Tomorrow is Pastor Appreciation Day, and this whole month is a good excuse to say thank you.

Pastors carry a unique kind of leadership. They lead staff and volunteers, manage budgets, make hard decisions, and shepherd people through the best and worst days of their lives, often with very little margin and very little thanks.

Many of the business owners we serve would say a pastor shaped their faith, their marriage, or their leadership.

If that is true for you, send your pastor/priest/father a note this weekend. Tell them one specific way their ministry has made a difference.

Who is a pastor you are grateful for? Tag them below.

Please join us in welcoming Stephanie Archuleta of Maid Mi Dia to C12 Borderplex!

Stephanie is joining a table of Christian business owners who meet every month to sharpen one another, pray for one another, and build great businesses for a greater purpose.

Joining a forum is not a small decision. It takes a full day each month and a willingness to put your business, your leadership, and your faith on the table with peers. We admire leaders who choose to do that, and we look forward to learning from Stephanie as much as she learns from the group.

If you caught Stephanie's episode of The 323 Podcast this summer, you already have a sense of the heart behind her business. You can find the link in the comments.

Welcome to the table, Stephanie!

“All the good stuff’s in the hard times. If you want the lessons, that’s where they are.”

Jonathan David Lewis learned that firsthand in 2018.

His Albuquerque firm, McKee Wallwork, had just had its best year ever. Jonathan was buying into the business and on track to become president.

Then the forecast dropped.

He realized how much of his own identity had become wrapped up in the success of the firm. When the business struggled, so did he.

That season taught him something he has carried ever since: every decision we make, and even the decisions we put off, shapes who we become.

He compares it to carving a block of wood. Every cut removes something and leaves something else behind.

Years of lessons like that eventually became The Rebuilders, a collection of short daily readings for leaders navigating difficult seasons.

On this week’s episode of The 323 Podcast, Tiffany and Jonathan also talk about his faith, which began taking root while he was growing up on a reservation in Washington State, and why he believes the workplace may be one of the last places where many people still experience real community.

It’s a conversation about business, identity, hardship, faith, and what difficult seasons can teach us if we’re willing to pay attention.

What hard season taught you the most about leading?

Some weeks, the list of things a leader is carrying can feel pretty heavy.

A decision you don’t know how to make. A problem with an employee. A financial concern. Something happening at home. A conversation you know you need to have.

Leadership gives us plenty of opportunities to convince ourselves that we need to figure everything out.

But we don’t have to carry everything alone.

God invites us to bring those burdens to Him. Not after we’ve exhausted every other option. Not once we’ve figured out exactly what to ask for. Right in the middle of the uncertainty.

He may not answer on our timeline or in the way we expect. But the pressure of leadership can become an invitation to draw closer to Him rather than trying harder to carry it ourselves.

Maybe there’s something on your list this week that doesn’t need another hour of worrying or problem-solving.

Maybe it needs prayer.

What is one burden you could hand to God today instead of carrying it through the rest of the week?

When Israel crossed the Jordan River, God told them to take twelve stones from the riverbed and stack them on the other side.

The stones were there so that someday, when their children asked, “What do these stones mean?” they could tell them what God had done.

Years later, Samuel did something similar.

After God delivered Israel from the Philistines, Samuel set up a stone and named it Ebenezer, saying:

“Thus far the LORD has helped us.”
1 Samuel 7:12

I love that phrase. Thus far.

It acknowledges God’s faithfulness in everything that has already happened while trusting Him with everything that is still ahead.

Last month at our C12 Forums, I asked our members to create their own rocks of remembrance.

Each person took a physical rock and wrote down ways they had seen God’s faithfulness over the past year.

Prayers answered. Provision they didn’t expect. Doors opened. Difficult seasons God carried them through.

Then we stacked the rocks together and thanked the Lord for what He had done.

As leaders, we spend so much of our time looking ahead. The next goal. The next problem. The next opportunity. The next plan.

But before we start planning for what’s next, maybe we need our own Ebenezer.

A reminder to stop, look back, and say: Thus far, the Lord has helped us.

If you created your own rock of remembrance for 2026, what would you write on it?

What if the thing standing between you and your next season of leadership isn’t a strategy, but a room?

A room with other Christian CEOs and business owners who understand the weight of leadership.

A room where you can put a real issue on the table and get honest perspective from people who have faced some of the same decisions.

A room where business, faith, family, and leadership don’t have to be separate conversations.

On Wednesday, October 14, C12 Borderplex is opening the doors to our new CEO Forum for a C12 Experience Day.

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., you’ll experience a real C12 Forum day, the same way our members do every month.

You’ll pray together, work through executive-level business content, and see what happens when a small group of leaders helps one another think more clearly, make better decisions, and keep Christ at the center of how they lead.

This day is for owners, presidents, and CEOs of established businesses who lead a team and want to build a great business for a greater purpose.

Space is limited, and fit matters. If you’re curious about C12, send us a message or visit the link in the comments to learn more.
