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.

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.
