“As a new business owner, I was looking for a group of men who not only shared good business strategies and ideas, but who were also intent on running a business that reflected God's values and principles. What I found in ISI was more than that. I also found a group of men who were strong enough to be vulnerable and authentic enough to hold me accountable in every area of my life. The monthly meeting is a highlight each month, a fresh drink of water in a fast paced, hard hitting world. Plus my wife is thrilled that I have surrounded myself with men of this caliber. The return on investment has been an amazing blessing financially, relationally, and spiritually. I would encourage any man who is not afraid of wrestling with real issues to attend.”

“ISI has been my guardrail at the top of the mountain which is different than being the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. If you own a business, I would highly recommend you join an ISI group. If you can’t do that, start one. If you can’t do that, send us your name and we’ll pray that you can connect with a group of your peers where you hold each other accountable with your faith, family, and work, and accept our Heavenly Father’s ultimate invitation to draw closer to Him in all aspects of your life. As for me, my life is richer and more abundant since partnering with an ISI group not just because of what I get out of it, but also what I put into it.”

“I have been challenged in ISI over these past four years to use the resources at our company to further the ministry of Christ – especially in unreached areas of the world. This has reinvigorated my purpose for being in business. The business is not an entity just to serve my needs ... but has become a kingdom-minded business. This happened by being involved with fellow Christian businessmen sitting around a table on a regular basis discussing their vision and plans – taking pages from each other's playbooks."

“I started attending ISI because I had a persistent HR problem I couldn't seem to solve. When I called a fellow business owner to ask his advice about it, he told me I might like to get a dozen business owners' advice instead of just his! So I visited ISI the next week and now, three-and-a-half years later, I have no idea what the original problem was, but I can point to scores of times I have made “course adjustments” in my business or personal life because of the insight of the men of ISI. By an order of magnitude this is the most important business group I belong to.”

“The collective Christ-centered wisdom of my ISI group has encouraged me, challenged me and saved my not-so-savvy butt more than once. A safe place to discuss anything from compassion to cash flow is priceless.”

“I have been attending ISI for about two years and will never forget the impression the first meeting had on me.  As we were sharing our lives and issues with each other the first guy opens up with how difficult his
marriage was going and his relationship with one of his children was in trouble.  The next guy hopes he can keep his business from filing Chapter 11.  There were many positive stories as well but I had definitely never seen this kind of honesty and transparency.  It changed my view of what real men should look like. Clearly not the classic Sunday morning church group where everyone puts on the "smiley face".  By the way, as for the two guys…one is still married and growing in the relationship with his wife. The other has modified his business plan and still in business.  That is called life and ISI certainly helps men through it.”

“My ISI group has been my "board of directors" or my “council of advisors". Scripture says in Proverbs 15:22: "Without counsel purposes are disappointed, but in the multitude of counselors they are established". Thank God that he has put men in my life that can help me "establish" His purposes for my life.”
