Thursday
Home can be the one room where a leader stops looking capable, because Christ already knows every weakness and still welcomes frank speech. You have spent ten hours being the person with the answers. Now the car is in the driveway, the porch light is on, and one quiet question waits before you reach the…
A handoff is not finished until the team has heard it. You decided last week that a rising leader should run the next major client pitch, and you told them privately in your office. But in this Wednesday’s meeting, the room still turns toward you for every answer. C.H.E.W. with Me New here? What is CHEW? —…
God’s love settled your worth before anyone applauded, which means you can receive praise as a gift instead of a threat. You may know the reflex: someone compliments your talk, your leadership, or your team’s result, and you wave it off before they finish. Have you ever walked away from a kind word feeling oddly…
Maybe you memorized a verse months ago, but haven’t thought about it since. However, the Bible is described as living and active; the verses you memorized don’t need to wait for a special occasion. Pull out what you know and use it – today. C.H.E.W. with Me New here? What is CHEW? — a 30-second practice that…
Your spouse could probably draw a floor plan of your kitchen from memory. They may not be able to name a single person you sit across from in meetings all day. Most executives don’t mean to keep their work life with their spouse — but they’ve built a wall around it and never noticed.. C.H.E.W.…
In a leadership update, maybe you said “we” landed the account. Everyone in the room knew exactly whose idea actually closed it, and it wasn’t yours. Nobody corrected you out loud. But your best people were doing math in that meeting, and the number they were calculating wasn’t the deal size – it was whether…
The elevator ride is four floors. The walk to the coffee machine is ninety seconds. There are two full minutes before the meeting starts. Every one of those gaps gets a podcast, a headline, a text thread — filled before the silence even has time to register as empty. C.H.E.W. with Me New here? What is…
You open the app for the third time this hour — not because you need the number, but because checking it has become a reflex faster than thought, a motion your thumb makes before your brain has clocked what it’s doing. Somewhere along the way, someone else’s number became the measure of your own work.…
You checked your phone one more time before turning off the light. Nothing was actually happening — no fire to put out, no message you were genuinely waiting on. You checked it anyway, because some part of you doesn’t fully believe things keep running smoothly if you stop watching them for eight hours. That belief…
You’ll pray out loud in front of a boardroom without blinking — over a meal at a company retreat, at the top of a difficult meeting, in front of clients who half-expect it and half don’t. Praying out loud with your own spouse, just the two of you, in your own bedroom with the lights…
