God Gave You the Vision—Now What?
Chosen By Jesus with Kelley Tyan and Taylor Tyan
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...

This One Habit Will Change How You Think
Chosen By Jesus with Kelley Tyan and Taylor Tyan

And if you've ever made a decision you later regretted, this one is for you!

info_outlineMotivation keeps failing—but biblical discipline builds faith that lasts. In this Christian podcast episode, we explain why motivation is emotional and how faith over feelings leads to consistency and peace.
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. You’d already be living the life you keep praying for.
Motivation is emotional—and emotions change.
But faith was never meant to be fueled by feelings.
It was meant to be built through obedience.
In this episode, we unpack:
- Why motivation culture keeps Christian women stuck
- The difference between emotional intensity and faithful consistency
- How discipline becomes freedom—not punishment
- Why nothing is “wrong” with you—you were just taught the wrong system
- How alignment (not motivation) changes your daily walk with God
