The Daily CHEW™Chew on God’s Love. Live Transformed. Multiply Hope. Sundays always stir a strange mix of satisfaction and restlessness for me.

The Daily CHEW™Chew on God’s Love. Live Transformed. Multiply Hope. Last night, after a day coaching a management team, doing individual sessions, helping two couples, and even discussing crypto with my kids (they’re learning early!), I finally crawled into bed. Before I could drift off, I ran my Evening Return CHEW—naming the best and hardest…
The Daily CHEW™ Chew on God’s Love. Live Transformed. Multiply Hope. Twenty-three years ago this morning, I watched from my apartment window on 169th Street in Washington Heights as an F-15 screamed overhead toward the Twin Towers, responding to the unthinkable.
