From Chosen By Jesus, a 5.0-star rated podcast ranked in the Top 1% globally and listened to by a growing international audience, this episode offers honest biblical truth you can actually live out. “Motivation is a lie.” If motivation actually worked, you wouldn’t need another reset, another quote, or another Monday restart.

Hey CBJ Family, Have you ever wondered, "God, am I missing something?" Even when you pray daily...even when you're doing "all the right things"...the vision feels stuck. You are not alone--and this episode is for you. In today's conversation, we're reframing vision through a biblical lens--not as something you chase, but as something God is forming within you. This isn't about vision boards or hype. It's about clarity, obedience, patience, and trusting God's timing when nothing seems to be moving. Rooted in Habakkuk 2:2-3, Proverbs 16:3, Psalm 127:1, and more, we unpack what it really...

Hey CBJ Family! "If we don't intentionally invest in our health today, we will unitentionally pay for it later." This statement hit home for us years ago, and in this episode, we are diving into all the ways faith and prayer can get you healthy and fit especially in this new year. Health is not about vanity, it's about stewardship. When we invite God into how we train, eat, and rest, everything changes. The new year doesn't require pressure or perfection, it invites intention. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says "do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy...

Hey CBJ Family, On today's epsiode, we are talking about all the ways to PRAY and what it really means to "just pray about it."

Together, Kelley and Taylor unpack how prayer shapes everyday decisions, strenghtens faith, and keeps our focus on Jesus when life feels overwhemling.

Hey CBJ Family, Today we are diving into Proverbs 8: one of the most powerful chapters in the Bible to help you think clearly, lead wisely, and live with peace instead of pressure. And if you've ever made a decision you later regretted, this one is for you!

Stop scrolling — if you’re scared while waiting for answers, you are NOT alone. When you’re stuck in the uncertain times — between what you feel and what you hope — the waiting becomes the hardest part. If that’s you, don’t click away — stay with us for the first 60 seconds.
This episode is part of a globally streamed, 5-star Christian show with listeners in 16+ countries, recognized as one of the top Christian women’s podcasts for real faith and real-life conversation.
In this raw mother-daughter conversation, Chosen By Jesus hosts Kelley and Taylor Tyan talk openly about the emotional and spiritual battle that happens in the waiting — especially when fear, symptoms, tests, or unanswered questions leave you imagining the worst instead of expecting God’s best.
If your family has faced difficult medical seasons, the waiting hits different.
Even when it could be anything, your mind goes back to what you’ve survived before.
Experience shapes fear — even when faith is present.
But waiting does not mean God is silent — or absent.
Waiting is the place where trust becomes oxygen.
