If you’ve married into a family with wealth and you’d like to meet others on a similar journey, please join our group for “In-Laws.”

This is for both men and women who married into wealth and are navigating relationships within their nuclear family, and with extended family members, and rethinking their identities with respect to work and purpose. We share in trusted relationships the private stories of finding one’s place in the family and reshaping perspectives on wealth and generosity. 

This is a chance to get to know other Gathering members who understand and can empathize with you, and offer encouragement and wisdom, without judgment or expectations.

Co-Hosts: Laurie Bolthouse, and Nihar Shah, Gathering participants

Who belongs? In-laws who have married into wealth

When do we meet? Once a week for 5 weeks, virtually, for 60 min, on Tuesdays, likely Noon to 1 pm ET, starting in October, followed by an in-person reunion at our next Annual Conference in September 2025.

Criteria to join our community events

  • Follow Jesus as Lord and Savior.
  • Give at least $200,000 a year to Christian causes. Though the number isn't a rigid threshold, it represents a proxy for the types of people who are asking and wrestling with the same questions around wise stewardship, giving well, avoiding pitfalls, raising the next generation, allocating resources, defining a family legacy, etc. People come to The Gathering to pursue relationships with peers who are exploring similar issues with a measure of humility, vulnerability, and trust.

During politically polarized times, how do we follow the model that Jesus set in loving our enemies, being kind to those who speak falsehoods, turning the other cheek when we’re offended, standing as a peacemaker in the midst of conflict?
