    Stop Trying to Prove Yourself — God Already Chose You | Identity in Christ | Chosen By Jesus

    Many believers struggle with identity in Christ, searching for Christian encouragement and wondering if they were truly chosen by God. What if the problem isn't confidence? What if the real issue is forgetting who God already says you are?   In this episode of Chosen By Jesus with Kelley Tyan and Taylor Tyan, we talk about the pressure many believers feel to constantly prove themselves — in relationships, leadership, ministry, and everyday life. This conversation explores identity in Christ, purpose, and trusting God in difficult seasons.   Ephesians 2:10 (NIV "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."   You were never meant to live your life auditioning for approval. God already chose you.   In this episode we discuss: • Why so many believers struggle with identity • The difference between confidence and identity in Christ • How comparison and pressure steal your peace • What the Bible says about purpose and calling • How to trust God when life feels uncertain   If you've ever felt like you had to prove your worth, this message will remind you of the truth. You are not forgotten. You are not overlooked. You are already chosen. ⸻ About the Chosen By Jesus Podcast Chosen By Jesus with Kelley Tyan and Taylor Tyan is a Top 1% Christian podcast globally, reaching listeners in 21 countries and growing a worldwide faith community.

    Are You Waiting on God or Just Afraid? James 2:17 Explained | Chosen By Jesus

    Are you truly waiting on God — or are you avoiding obedience because it feels uncomfortable? If you've been wondering how to know God's will, how to hear God's voice clearly, or whether you're delaying because of fear, this message is for you. James 2:17 says, "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." In this episode of Chosen By Jesus with Kelley and Taylor Tyan — ranked in the Top 1% of Christian podcasts worldwide and reaching 21 countries — we unpack what waiting on God really means and how faith in action requires obedience before comfort. By God's grace, this community has grown to: • 109,000+ views • 940+ hours watched • Viewers in 21 countries • 57,000+ views in the United States In uncertain times — from personal hardship to global conflict — many believers struggle with trusting God in uncertain times and stepping out in faith. But biblical faith has never required perfect conditions. It requires movement. This Bible-based teaching covers: • Waiting on God vs. avoiding obedience • Faith without works explained (James 2:17) • How to step out in faith when you feel afraid • Overcoming fear biblically • Christian obedience in real life • Hearing God's voice and responding with courage   Sometimes fear disguises itself as spiritual wisdom. Sometimes delay looks like discernment.   But obedient waiting produces peace. Avoidant waiting produces excuses. ⸻ Reflection: • Has God already spoken? • Am I asking for clarity when I really want certainty? • If fear wasn't involved, what would I do next?   You don't need another confirmation. You need courage. ⸻ Scriptures: James 2:17 Ecclesiastes 11:4 ⸻ Prayer: Lord, give us discernment to know when You are asking us to wait — and courage when You are asking us to move. Where we've delayed obedience, strengthen us. Teach us faith in action and help us choose obedience over comfort. In Jesus' name, Amen. ⸻ Comment below: Has God already told you what to do? ⸻ CALL TO ACTION Subscribe for weekly faith-filled conversations Like this video if it encouraged you Share with someone who's waiting but still believing Comment below—we pray over every request ⸻ABOUT CHOSEN BY JESUS Chosen By Jesus is a Top 1.5% Christian podcast worldwide, streamed in 16+ countries, with 725+ hours of YouTube watch time and a growing global community seeking biblical wisdom, peace, and encouragement. ⸻ One Year. 12 In-Person Gatherings.

    How to Stay Strong When You're in a Storm You Didn't Ask For

    Are you in the middle of a storm you didn't ask for? Divorce. Sickness. Emotional stress. There is hope for you.   In this episode of Chosen By Jesus, Kelley and Taylor Tyan speak to the woman who is carrying more than she ever expected and quietly wondering how to stay grounded when life feels unsteady.   Storms don't mean your faith is weak. They reveal how deep your roots are.   This conversation explores the difference between emotional faith and anchored faith—and why anchored faith doesn't stop storms, but it does stop drifting. You'll be reminded that faith doesn't remove pressure, but it steadies us in the middle of it. ⸻ In this episode, we talk about: • Why dark seasons don't ask permission • How pressure exposes what's underneath • Why faith steadies us instead of removing storms • What you return to when overwhelmed—and why it matters • How small, daily spiritual rhythms build deep roots ⸻ Scripture referenced: Hebrews 6:19 Jeremiah 17:7–8 Isaiah 40:31 Romans 15:13 ⸻ Anchors don't stop waves. They stop drifting.   Storms will come—but rooted women don't drift. They stand. ⸻ PRAYER FOR THOSE IN A STORM Divorce • Sickness • Stress   Lord, For the one listening in the middle of a storm they didn't ask for—be their refuge.   For the one navigating divorce, bring wisdom, peace, and protection. For the one facing sickness, bring strength, comfort, and hope. For the one under emotional stress, bring rest to their mind and calm to their body.   Remind them they are not drifting. They are being held.   Give them courage for today—not the whole journey, just today. Help them stay planted, even when the wind is strong.   In Jesus' name, amen. ⸻ CALL TO ACTION Subscribe for weekly faith-filled conversations Like this video if it encouraged you Share with someone who's waiting but still believing Comment below—we pray over every request ⸻ ABOUT CHOSEN BY JESUS Chosen By Jesus is a Top 1.5% Christian podcast worldwide, streamed in 16+ countries, with 725+ hours of YouTube watch time and a growing global community seeking biblical wisdom, peace, and encouragement. ⸻ One Year. 12 In-Person Gatherings.

    The Secret to Living Faithful Even When Frustrated

    Hey CBJ Family, Have you ever found that you've done everything right- prayed, waited, believed...and life still felt unfair? On today's epsiode part 2 in the series, Kelley and Taylor are speaking directly to those who love God deeply but feel quielty disappointed, frustrated, or confused when life feels unfair. If life feels unfair right now, it doesn't mean your faith si weak, it might mean you are human! Our family understands this personally. Kelley's mom battled Rhuematoid Arthritis. Kelley's dad faced a rare blood cancer diagnosis. Kelley has walked through breast cancer. Taylor has walked through dark times searching for her biological father.   This episode is not theory, it's lived faith. If you've ever asked why suffering touches families, how to trust God during illness, or whether faith and grief can coexist, this conversation will meet you gently, honeslty, and biblically. Scriptures we ancho to include: Psalm 13:1-2, Habakkuk 1:2-3, Psalm 62:8, and Lamentations 3:31-33. You'll learn why unfaitness doesn't just hurt-it confuses, and why biblical faith doesn't deny disappointment, it brings it to God honeslty. If you're faithful and frustrated, you're not weak, you're growing.  We pray that this epsiode blesses you and please hit the subscribe button on YouTube and follow us here on audio so you don't miss next week, part 3 in this series.  FOLLOW THE SHOW ON INSTAGRAM @chosenbyJesuscbj Follow Kelley on Linkedin Next SHE RISES 8 week mentorship for women starts 3/9> JOIN US NOW!

    Just When You Think You've Prayed Enough, Pray Some More!

    Hey CBJ Family, Have you ever found yourself praying so much about a certain thing and it begins to quietly wear you down becasue you haven't heard any answers from God yet? We have experienced this too, and this is why we are breaking down this 3 part series starting today!  We are helping you know and fully understand that feeling tired or discouraged in prayer, doesn't mean you're failing- it means you're human.  We are talking honestly about why repeating the same prayer over and over can bring on quiet guilt and doubt that can creep in overtime. We want you to know that trhough these long seasons of waiting, persistent prayer still matters and God hears you. So many believers wrestle with questions like, "what do I do when I've prayed so much, and God has answered me yet?" Or, "why should I keep praying when God feels silent?" This conversation reminds us of a gentle but powerful truth: just becasue your circumstances haven't changed yet, God is still there, working behind the scenes.  This epsiode points back to one simple truth: prayer doesn't always change the situation first, it changes the ones praying. If you feel weary, don't stop praying. If it feels unanswered, don't quit praying. If you think you've prayed enough, pray some more. This is a 3 part series and next week is part 2: what to do when life feels unfair.  Make sure you hit the subscrobe button on YouTube or audio so you don't miss these powerful, life changing conversations.  Follow Chosen by Jesus on Instagram - @chosenbyJesusCBJ For more details on events, coaching and mentorship visit www.kelleytyan.com or email us here : kelleytyan21@gmail.com

    Motivation Is a Lie | Christian Motivation That Lasts

    Motivation 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 ⸻ Scriptures we explore together: James 2:17 • Galatians 6:9 • Proverbs 4:23 • Romans 12:2   If you've ever asked, "Why can't I stay consistent?" This episode is for you.   You don't need more motivation. You need alignment. ⸻ Subscribe to Chosen By Jesus for biblical encouragement, practical faith, and real-life truth that helps you walk it out—especially on the hard days. ⸻ You don't need more motivation—you need alignment.
