🍽️ Who Gets a Seat at Your Table in 2026?

When we talk about the table, we’re not talking about people’s worth.

We’re talking about where your energy goes.

Every leader has a limited amount of attention, emotional capacity, creative effort, and spiritual focus. Your table is simply the place where those resources are spent.

Jesus cared for everyone, but He did not expend equal energy everywhere. He healed crowds, taught the twelve, and invested deeply in a few. That wasn’t favoritism. It was wisdom.

If you give the same level of effort to every demand, every voice, and every need, you won’t multiply. You’ll fracture. Leadership isn’t about doing more. It’s about directing effort where it actually bears fruit.

As we step into 2026, the question isn’t, “Who do I love?”

It’s, “Where is my energy meant to be multiplied this season?”

You can care broadly while investing narrowly.

Reflection:

Where did most of your energy go in 2025?

• things that produced fruit

• things that maintained the status quo

• things that drained you

Response:

Name one area, role, or focus that deserves a seat at your table in 2026 — and one that doesn’t.

(You can answer publicly or privately. Both count.)
