info_outlineHave you ever been scared while waiting for answers — and your mind went straight to the worst?
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.

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.
