Try It Now

Try answering the Core CHEW question right now and see what happens!

Ask yourself:
If I really believed God loves me as much as He loves Jesus (John 17:23), what would change in me right now?

Let yourself answer honestly—even if it’s just a word or a feeling.

If you’re having trouble answering the question, ask yourself, If I really believed God loves me as much as he loves Jesus, what would I be feeling right now? Imagine a time when you felt loved – what did you feel? What did you experience? What was your physical reaction (relaxing, exhaling, smiling)?

Every honest moment of awareness is a win.

Head → Heart: Let God’s love move you, one honest moment at a time.

Example: Core CHEW in Action

Recently, I started to feel overwhelmed at work. There were so many different things that needed to be done and so little time to do them in, and I didn’t know how I would check everything off the list. I was also concerned that we wouldn’t have some key players that we needed for a business initiative. I asked myself, “If I really believe that God loves me as much as he loves Jesus, then what would that change in me right now?” My answer was, “If I really believed that God loves me as much as he loves Jesus, I would trust that he would already be helping me as I find the right people for the job. I trust that he would give me discernment to find the person for the job. I would feel at peace and not put so much pressure on myself to be and do it all. I would rest in him, knowing that he has a plan and a purpose.
