The Daily CHEW™
Chew on God’s Love. Live Transformed. Multiply Hope.
Yesterday morning, rushing between calls, I caught myself asking the same surface-level prayer I’ve prayed a thousand times: “God, help me have a good day.” But something stopped me—was I really expecting God’s love to transform this moment, or was I just hoping for a smooth schedule?
Maybe you’ve been there too. Maybe you know God loves you—intellectually, theologically, completely—but when stress hits or decisions loom, that truth feels distant. Maybe you’re tired of spiritual insights that stay locked in your head while your heart still races with the same old fears, frustrations, or longings for significance.
Here’s what I’ve discovered: The gap between knowing God’s love and experiencing it often closes with one powerful question. Not just any question—but a CHEW question that confronts our beliefs with the reality of God’s love and demands an honest answer. These questions don’t require perfect theology or hours of study. They require only the willingness to believe that God’s love for you is personal, present, and powerful enough to change everything.
Join me for a CHEW that will help you craft the questions that bring God’s love home to your heart.
CHEW in 3-5 Minutes:
Take three deep breaths—remembering God’s love surrounds you right now.
Adore: “Father, You love me with the same love You have for Jesus—completely, unconditionally, without reservation.”
Confess: “What area of my life feels most disconnected from Your love today? Where do I need Your love to break through?”
Hear: Three levels of CHEW questions, each designed to meet you where you are:
Beginner Level: “If God loves me as much as He loves Jesus, what would change right now?”
This foundational question confronts the core Gospel truth. Don’t complicate it—just sit with the staggering reality that God’s love for you equals His love for His Son.
Intermediate Level: “If God loves me as much as He loves Jesus, how would that change [my current struggle/longing/need for clarity]?”
Now get specific. Insert your actual situation: “how would that change my anxiety about this decision?” or “how would that change my longing for approval?”
Advanced Level: “If I really believed God’s love is [patient/unstoppable/gentle/fierce], how would that change [my specific area of need]?”
This connects particular characteristics of God’s love to your particular circumstances. “If I really believed God’s love is patient, how would that change my self-criticism?” Scripture reveals countless facets of His love—each one can anchor a transformative question.
Exchange: Choose the level that resonates today. Ask your question and pause for a real answer.
If this truth penetrated your heart fully, I would exchange _______ for _______.
Walk: What’s one small step you can take this week that reflects your renewed belief in God’s love?
Thanksgiving & Worship:
Thank God that His love isn’t waiting for your perfect questions—He delights in every honest turn toward Him. Rest in the truth that He works even through your faltering faith to transform you.
Here’s the beautiful reality: You don’t always need the full CHEW template. Sometimes the most powerful moments happen when you simply pause, ask one well-crafted question about God’s love, and take time to answer it honestly. The Spirit uses these questions to break through, bringing healing to counseling moments, growth to coaching conversations, and clarity to crucial decisions.
The templates are invaluable when you’re learning, when you’re stuck, or when you want to be thorough. But once you understand the heart of CHEW—bringing God’s specific love to your specific need—the questions themselves become doorways to worship.
Growth isn’t about mastering the perfect spiritual technique. God’s love works through your sincere questions, your messy answers, and your willingness to believe that His heart toward you never changes. Every honest CHEW question moves you closer to the truth that changes everything.
