Chosen By Jesus with Kelley Tyan and Taylor Tyan

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.

*Fear is a Liar but God is Faithful
*How to break Free From People Pleasing

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

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.

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.
