How the Complete CHEW Process Works
The C-H-E-W framework gives structure to the Core question you've been practicing. Instead of only asking the question, you now move through four steps that help God's love reach deeper into your heart in specific situations.
C — Clarity before God
"Father, here's what I'm honestly experiencing right now…" Be specific about what's on your heart — whether it's a decision, a relationship, a season of growth, or a moment of gratitude. Clarity opens your heart to receive God's love exactly where you are.
H — Hear from Scripture
"Father, what Scripture do You want me to wrestle with right now?" God's Word meets your honest reflection with clear truth about who He is and how He loves you in this moment.
E — Exchange with Deeper Questions
Here you go beyond the basic Core question:
-
Intermediate:Â "If I really believed God loves me this intensely, how would that change [my specific situation or longing]?"
-
Advanced:Â "If I really believed God's love is [specific characteristic], how would that change [my area for healing, growth, or strategic clarity]?"
These questions help you replace old scripts with concrete Gospel truth that reshapes how you lead, love, and live.
W — Walk with the Holy Spirit
"Holy Spirit, guide me to one step that will please You." Take one clear, Spirit-led action that embodies God's love in your real life and reinforces what you've just seen in Scripture.
