The Daily CHEW™Chew on God’s Love. Live Transformed. Multiply Hope. It’s quietly humming under my skin today—the pressure to make a call.

The Daily CHEW™ Chew on God’s Love. Live Transformed. Multiply Hope. I’ve always joked that I was born part-old soul. Even on our honeymoon, my wife discovered I might actually be a 93-year-old in disguise: out by 8pm, lights out like clockwork. Deep down, there’s a kind of exhaustion that comes from a day lived…
