The Daily CHEW™
Moving God’s Love From Head to Heart for Christian Professionals
You give your team clarity. You set direction. You protect the mission. But there are moments you can feel the distance in the room. They nod, they comply, but something in their eyes says, “We still don’t really know you.”
Clarity: When your team only hears your what and never your why, they may follow your instructions, but they will not fully trust your leadership.
Hear: God does not lead His people that way. “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.” (Psalm 103:8, ESV) Throughout Scripture, God reveals not only His commands but His heart—why He acts, what grieves Him, what delights Him.
Exchange: If I really believed God’s love models a leader who shares both truth and heart, how would that change what I’m feeling and what I’m believing about God, myself, and others when I stand in front of my team?
Walk (30–90 seconds): Before your next decision‑meeting, take one minute to answer this sentence for yourself: “Here is what is behind this for me…” Then share one honest sentence of that with the room—enough for them to hear your heart, not just your directive. If this is the only thing you do from this CHEW today, it is enough.
With you on the journey,

If you had to put this into one sentence for today, what would you say God is inviting you to rest in or return to?
