Chosen By Jesus with Kelley Tyan and Taylor Tyan

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.

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 means to wait well- without quitting, striving, or losing faith. 
In this epsiode you'll learn:
Why vision is about who God is shaping you to become, not just what you want
How to tell if you're vision is aligned with God's will
Why silence from God doesn't mean absence - it often means development
What to do when you've been praying over the same vision long after excitemnt fades
You'll hear this powerful truth:
"If God gave you the vision quickly, He may grow you slowly so you can carry  it."
We close with clear takeaways and a simple activation exercsie you can do today- not to rush the process, but to anchor yourself in peace, prayer, and trust.
Press play if you're ready to:
Stop second guessing
Trust God's timing
Stay faithful in the waiting
Walk forward with peace, not panic

Hey CBJ Family!
"If we don't intentionally invest in our health today, we will unitentionally pay for it later." This statement hit home for us years ago, and in this episode, we are diving into all the ways faith and prayer can get you healthy and fit especially in this new year. 
Health is not about vanity, it's about stewardship. When we invite God into how we train, eat, and rest, everything changes. The new year doesn't require pressure or perfection, it invites intention.   
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says "do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit...therefore honor God with your bodies."
This verse reminds us to treat our bodoes like a place where God dwells-not something to neglect or abuse.  
When we are stressed and feeling chaotic, we tend to make unhealthy choices or experience emotional eating.  When we are living in a peaceful state, we make better and healhtier decisions, which impacts our lives in positive ways. 
Today, ask God to help you show up for yourself, in your food choices, and to give you the strength to make better decisions about your health overall.  Pause before you eat, pray, and be gentle with yourself through the process.  
A prayer we encourage you to say daily is, "Lord, I'm showing up, meet me here. Thank you for the body You've entrusted to me. Today I choose stewardship over pressure. Guide how I move, how I eat, and how I rest. Give me wisdom for small choices and grace when prgress feels slow. Strengthen me, not for vanity, but for purpose. Help me show up healthy, present, and available for what You've called me to do.  In Jesus' Name, Amen."
We pray that this episode encourages you to get into momentum, and stay in momentum, as you start a new year while creating new healthy habits that stick. 
Remember, routine will keep you going when you want to quit.  Start a new one and stick to it!

Hey CBJ Family!
Happy New Year!  May God bless you in new ways with mircales, excellent health, and new opportunities for you to grow deeper in faith. 
Today, we are talking about 2 words that changed our year: give & discpline.  Words of the yhear matter becasue God is intentional. We belive that when God highlights a "word" for you, it's an invitation into deeper alignment. 
If you are ready to enter a new season in 2026, or if you are asking God for clarity, to be more obedient, or direction, this episode is for YOU!

Hey CBJ Family,
On today's epsiode, we are talking about all the ways to PRAY and what it really means to "just pray about it."
We believe prayer was never meant to be a last resort, but a daily relationship with God, as Kelley's mother taught her from a young age. This episode came stright fromt the heart; no notes, no outline. Together, Kelley and Taylor unpack how prayer shapes everyday decisions, strenghtens faith, and keeps our focus on Jesus when life feels overwhemling. 
In this epsiode, we discuss:
*How to pray (even when you don't know what to say)
*How to make prayer part of your everyday life
*Praying through anxiety, stress, and uncertainty
*Keeping your prayers focused on God, not stress
*Why prayer often changes you before it changes your circunstances
If you've ever felt unsure about prayer, overwhelmed by life, or disconnected from God, this conversation is a reminder that He is always listening- and you can bring everything to Him.
We are praying for you and if you have rpayer requst, please DM us on Instagram @chosenbyJesusCBJ
