I’ve been in a hard season for the better part of three years now — some of it pain I played a part in and have since repented of, most of it I had no hand in at all, including losing my father just days after a fall. I’m well cared for through it — a…
Claire and I had just spent the last stretch of the project refining what we affectionately call the sizzle level — the final 15 percent that turns competent work into something worth talking about. She’d been an active partner the whole way through, unafraid to flag what would sharpen the process, and only a couple…

The Daily CHEWâ„¢Moving God’s Love from Head to Heart for Christian Professionals My coach and I had a great session on Monday.
