“God’s love was never meant to stop with us. When you bring the CHEW on This™ framework into your community, workplace, or outreach, you become a living invitation for others to experience Jesus in real, practical ways.”
Why Take CHEW Beyond Yourself?
Personal growth is just the beginning. The more you “chew” on God’s love and truth, the more you’ll want to share it—through encouragement, service, mentoring, and outreach. CHEW on This™ is easy to adapt for different settings, helping others discover God’s love for themselves.
Ways to Use CHEW in Community and Outreach
1. Small Group Outreach
- How to use:
Invite friends, neighbors, or seekers to a relaxed group where you walk through the CHEW steps together using an accessible verse or topic. - Tip:
Keep it conversational and welcoming. Focus on honest questions and real-life application.
2. Mentoring and Discipleship
- How to use:
Use the CHEW framework in one-on-one meetings. Share your own CHEW question and invite your mentee to form theirs. - Tip:
Ask, “Where do you most need to experience God’s love right now?” and help them match their need to a characteristic of God’s love.
3. Serving in Your Community
- How to use:
Before or after serving (food pantry, volunteering, etc.), pause as a team to CHEW on a verse about God’s love for others. - Tip:
Ask, “If we really believed God’s love is for every person we meet, how would that change how we serve today?”
4. Workplace & School
- How to use:
Form a CHEW group during lunch breaks or after work. Use a short verse and a simple CHEW question to spark discussion. - Tip:
Respect boundaries—invite, don’t pressure. Let your own transformation be your testimony.
5. Family & Neighborhood Gatherings
- How to use:
Share a CHEW question at a family dinner, holiday, or block party. Invite honest, open-ended sharing. - Tip:
Use creative approaches—art, music, or storytelling—to make it accessible for all ages.
6. Outreach Events and Missions
- How to use:
Incorporate CHEW into devotionals, team debriefs, or follow-up conversations during mission trips or outreach events. - Tip:
Ask, “How did you see God’s love at work today?” and “What’s one way you can chew on that truth this week?”
7. Social Media & Digital Outreach
- How to use:
Share your CHEW questions, reflections, or creative expressions online. Invite others to respond or share their own. - Tip:
Use hashtags, stories, or short videos to make it interactive and engaging.
8. Service Projects and Acts of Kindness
- How to use:
Pair acts of service (meals, notes, care packages) with a Scripture and a simple CHEW question for the recipient. - Tip:
Encourage recipients to “chew” on God’s love as they receive your gift.
Tips for Effective Outreach with CHEW
- Lead with humility and authenticity. Share your own journey, struggles, and growth.
- Listen well. Let others share their stories and questions without judgment.
- Pray for opportunities. Ask God to show you who needs encouragement or an invitation to CHEW.
- Follow up. Offer to meet again, provide resources, or invite them into a group.
Encouragement
Every time you share God’s love through CHEW, you plant seeds of hope and transformation. You don’t have to have all the answers—just a willingness to invite others to the table and let God do the rest.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
