You can confidently delegate because the work was never resting on your grip alone. God’s faithful love holds what you release and the person you release it to.

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 ...

Humor isn't a safe way to deliver what you are not ready to say plainly. You can say the direct thing kindly, because your standing does not ride on the room’s reaction.

A joke that carries a jab keeps working long after the laughter stops. Picture a leadership meeting where a slide is behind schedule, and the sharpest line in the room, delivered with a grin, earns the biggest laugh and the longest silence afterward. Most of us have been on both sides of that moment...

Some truths about God’s love reach your heart faster as a melody than in a paragraph. Picture your drive to work: a hymn you almost skipped is playing, and for the first time all week a line about God’s love does not just make sense, it lands. Nothing about the commute changed, only the way…

God pulled you out of deep water because He delights in you, not because you finally learned to swim.

The God we worship this morning does not rescue out of obligation; He rescues because He is glad to. Picture a swimmer going under in open water, and a hand closing around her wrist. When she trusts the person who is holding her, the water has stopped deciding anything. C.H.E.W. with Me New here? W...

God promised to carry His people to their old age, so the one who is carrying an aging parent is never the last one holding the weight.

God carries the one who is carrying, which means you can care for an aging parent without carrying it alone. You may be the person in your family who now gets the phone call: an appointment to arrange, a house getting harder to manage, a parent who needs more than they will ask for. Have…

Saying "no" to something genuinely good can be harder than doing it — yet it might be the most most freeing decision you make all year.

Since deciding to go all in on helping Christians get God’s love from head to heart, I’ve said no to more good things in the eight weeks since my surgery than I said no to in the two years before it. Not bad things, and not close calls — genuinely good requests, from people I…
