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.

In the United States today, there is no faith more dominant than Christianity. In Chosen Land, historian Matthew Avery Sutton chronicles Christians' five-hundred-year endeavor to turn North America into their version of the kingdom of God, revealing the fruitful and dynamic entanglement between the history of America and the history of American Christianity.In the centuries after Christianity first arrived on American shores, colonizers and colonized from New England to Spanish California practiced many varieties of the faith. After the founding of the United States, the nation's lack of a state religion forced new and evolving strains of Christianity to battle for potential adherents, as they still do to this day. As American Christianity has bent, fractured, and adapted to changing times, Christian belief has shaped everything from the promise of Manifest Destiny to Ronald Reagan's approach to the Cold War, the rise of the Southern Lost Cause narrative to the triumphs of the civil rights movement.Buy the book HERE.Western Civ 2.0 Free Trial

Brian From talks with James Barnett, CEO of Come and See, the nonprofit behind The Chosen, about the vision to finish all seven seasons and translate the series into 600 languages so it can be shared around the world for free. Barnett shares powerful stories of the show’s global impact—from unexpected conversions to discipleship opportunities in places far beyond the U.S.—and explains what viewers can expect as the series moves toward the crucifixion and resurrection. They also address a common criticism head-on: why The Chosen isn’t a replacement for Scripture, but a storytelling tool meant to point people back to the Bible and deeper faith.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lent invites us to stand at the foot of the Cross—but never alone. The Christian life is meant to be lived in communion, alongside companions who help draw us closer to the Lord. In this episode, Fr.

Through their shared journey, they reveal the beauty of growing in intimacy with Jesus through genuine relationships and the transformative grace that comes from encountering the Lord together.

Most agents are misreading AI. They think it's about tools. It's not. It's about control. Consumers aren't just searching anymore. They're asking AI: “Where should I live?” “Which homes fit my goals?” “Who is the best agent for me?” And when AI recommends three agents… Most people never look beyond those three. That's not convenience. That's filtration. The funnel has moved. Speed-to-lead is becoming baseline. Marketing polish is becoming universal. Automation is becoming expected. The question isn't whether you'll use AI. The question is whether you're positioned upstream — or becoming interchangeable downstream. AI won't replace strong agents. But it will absolutely influence who gets selected. And that's the real shift. If your 2026 business plan is still “work harder and hope,” you're already behind.

Living Water: The Woman at the Well – John 4:1–26 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane walk through John 4:1–26, the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. What begins as a simple conversation about water becomes a life-changing revelation about worship, identity, and living water that never runs dry. Together, they explore how Jesus meets us in unexpected places, crosses cultural and personal barriers, and speaks directly to our deepest thirst. This passage reminds us that no past is too complicated, no question too bold, and no heart too far for the transforming presence of Christ. If you've ever felt unseen, unqualified, or spiritually dry—this conversation is for you. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Take Our FREE Quiz To Create A Relationship Where You Feel Safe, Chosen & Cherished Without Loneliness, Hot-And-Cold Men Or Ending Up Alone Click: http://MagnetizeYourMan.com/PD5 Powerful Boundaries That Make Men Value and Respect YouIf you keep attracting men who drain you, test you, or take you for granted, this is the video that changes everything. Brody Boyd from Magnetize Your Man shares 5 feminine boundaries that permanently shift how high-quality men see and treat you. These aren't rules you enforce on him. They're standards you hold for yourself, and that distinction is everything. With over 20 years of combined experience helping thousands of successful women attract loving, long-term committed relationships, we know exactly what separates the women who command respect from the women who keep getting used.CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Stop Trying To Control The Outcome 02:30 Set Boundaries With Yourself, Not With Him 04:00 Stop Painting His Red Flags Green 05:30 Don't Do Whatever He Wants If It's Not Good For You 06:45 Stop Being A Rehab Center For Emotionally Broken Men 08:00 ConclusionTHE 5 BOUNDARIES:1. Stop Trying To Control The Outcome Obsessing over timelines and milestones pulls you straight into masculine energy. Two people fighting over the steering wheel never reach the destination. When you release the outcome and show up open and vulnerable, you create the space for a man to genuinely choose you.2. Set Boundaries With Yourself, Not With Him Real boundaries are not rules you police him with. They are decisions you make about what you will and won't accept. You don't lecture him. You don't punish him. You simply know your worth and act accordingly.3. Stop Painting His Red Flags Green You are not his therapist, his mother, or his emotional support system. When you keep making excuses for inconsistency and broken promises, you are the one paying the price. His actions over 90 days tell you the truth. His words are just words.4. Don't Do Whatever He Wants If It's Not Good For You Feminine energy means receiving and flowing, not being a doormat. There is a massive difference between healthy surrender and self-abandonment. A quality man wants your pleasure AND your wellbeing. When something doesn't serve you, you speak up with grace.5. Stop Being A Rehab Center For Emotionally Broken Men You cannot love a man into healing if he is not doing the work himself. When you try, you slip into masculine, mothering energy and kill the polarity that makes him want you. Your job is to guard your heart, not carry his.WHO SHOULD WATCH THIS VIDEO:Women who keep attracting emotionally unavailable or low-effort menHigh-achieving women who feel they have to shrink or perform strength to be lovedWomen exhausted from overgiving, overexplaining, and being taken for grantedWomen ready to embody feminine energy with real, loving boundaries, not coldnessWomen who want to attract a man who sees them, chooses them, and staysYou don't have to control him to keep him.

"Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?" Miriam and Aaron, Moses' own siblings, challenge his unique authority. They use his Cushite wife as a pretext, but their real complaint is against Moses' position. God Himself intervenes, and Miriam is struck with leprosy. In this chapter, we see that even family can become instruments of opposition to God's appointed servants. Yet we also see Moses' meekness and his intercession for his sister.  The Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Noblesville, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 12.  To learn more about Christ Lutheran, visit clc-in.org. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway.  In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people.  These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Continuing our series through Ephesians, Chad walks us through Ephesians 1:3-6, declaring what our identity is in Christ, His chosen and adopted people.

God chooses us, and He is not done with us, just as He is not done with his people, Israel. We must preach his good news to them, we must trust in God in all things, not be afraid, don't dismay, for he will take care of us. He will see us through our times of trial, because he is faithful!

The Chosen S2 Week 8 (AUDIO)

February 22, 2026 — This Morning Senior Pastor Rob Ginter Preached a Sermon “Chosen for Glory” Ephesians 1: 11-14

Rooted in their mission to uphold the dignity of every human person, the Sisters of Life witness to the truth that no one is beyond God's love and mercy. During Lent, we are invited to stand at the foot of the Cross and encounter the Lord's loving gaze, even in his suffering. Sr. Cora Caeli and Sr. Magnificat Rose share how they live Lent as religious sisters, reflecting on why the cross is not something to avoid but to embrace—especially as we repent, convert, and cling to Christ throughout these forty days.

Have you ever had the experience where your spouse walks past you in the kitchen and doesn't even acknowledge you? Or when it seems like they'd rather scroll on their phone than talk to you? In this episode, I break down what it really means to feel desired in marriage and why being wanted is different from being needed. I explain how desire shows up through thoughts, words, actions, and emotional presence, and how many couples misinterpret or block desire without realizing it. I also walk through common reasons desire fades, including exhaustion, resentment, fear of rejection, and misunderstandings about how desire works differently for men and women. Here is what I want you to hear: desire often grows through small, intentional actions rather than waiting to feel it first. With a practical invitation at the end, this episode is full of real ways to really desire your spouse and have them feel desired again. to shift connection and intimacy.

Today, we tackle controversy head-on. Donald Trump. Love him or hate him, he's exposed something in the church—something uncomfortable, something necessary.Millions of Christians rally behind a flawed man—not because he's perfect, not because he fits our expectations, but because he stands, he resists, he refuses to bow. That's biblical. That's bold. That's costly.He's mocked, attacked, and relentlessly condemned. The world says Christians are compromised. But Scripture says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord." –Isaiah 55:8This isn't political worship. It's spiritual warfare. It's a test of faith, courage, and conviction.So, what will you do when your moment arrives? Will you shrink, or will you stand?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in relentless biblical truth.Episode Highlights02:51 – It's about honesty, the kind of honesty that makes people uncomfortable because it forces self-examination instead of finger-pointing. Scripture tells us this in Isaiah 55:8: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. God has never been constrained by human expectations, social approval, or elite opinion, and he certainly doesn't submit his plan to media narratives. What if this controversy isn't about Trump at all? What if it's about us? What if this movement is revealing what we really believe about sin, grace, forgiveness, power, and redemption? That's what we're going to confront in today's episode, and we're going to do it honestly, biblically, and as always, without a single apology.37:13 – And that's why today's episode matters, because the gospel doesn't begin with pointing outward. It begins with confession. It begins with humility. It begins with acknowledging that every believer stands before God on equal footing—broken, dependent, and in need of mercy. Trump didn't create this hypocrisy, but he did reveal it.52:31 – Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings or of God? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. That question sits at the center of everything that we discussed on today's episode. If today's episode caused you to examine your heart, your assumptions, and your allegiance more honestly, well, then I did my job. Christianity has never been about comfort, consensus, or cultural applause. It's always been about obedience, truth, and complete and utter surrender.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

In this episode, we begin with a discussion prompted by a question about The Chosen; if the show depicts Joseph comforting Jesus in Gethsemane, is that a theological shift in broader Christianity toward the LDS idea that angels can be resurrected beings who once lived on earth?  From there, the conversation pivots into Part 2 with a deeper dive into the apocryphal Book of Enoch: why it mattered to early Christians, how Jude appears to quote it, and how Enoch's dramatic narrative tries to explain the origin of evil through fallen angels, forbidden knowledge, and giants the size of Mount Garfield.  We had a couple of spots open up on our Standard of Truth Tour to Missouri/Illinois.

He Must Increase: John 3:22–36In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 3:22–36, where John the Baptist humbly declares, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” As questions of comparison and influence arise, John's response reveals a powerful model of humility, joy, and surrender.Together, they unpack what it means to live a life that points to Jesus rather than elevates self, how identity is secured in Christ—not position—and why true joy is found in making much of Him. This passage invites us to examine our motives, release comparison, and embrace a faith that celebrates Christ's increase above all.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

In times of great division, disruption, and uncertainty, how can we find the ability to stay grounded? While each of us may find we have different answers, Here are a few that have been emerging for me recently:The first - remembering, in the words of one of today's guests: you don't have to do it alone. Remembering the power (and necessity) of seeking out supportive community, and friends. The second -turning to history. Gaining perspective and insight by revisiting times in the past where humans have collectively endured, and persevered in the face of tremendous adversity.The third - turning to the wisdom of elders.Seeking out the wise and caring teachers, mentors, and leaders in our communities who are further along the path and can offer guidance from where they stand. Two of these modern elders in many ways are Mark Nepo and Elizabeth Lesser.Chosen as one of OWN's SuperSoul 100, a group of inspired leaders using their gifts and voices to elevate humanity, Mark Nepo is one of the great poets and spiritual guides of our time. And bestselling author, and Co-Founder of Omega Institute, one of the world's leading conference and retreat centers, Elizabeth Lesser has had the opportunity to learn from, and collaborate with many of the greatest spiritual teachers and leaders around the world. Something she's done since Omega was first founded in 1977. I asked Elizabeth and Mark if they'd be willing to come together to engage in a rich conversation - sharing some of their own insights, practices, and ultimately what they've learned from some of their teachers about navigating troubling times. In this conversation (originally released in March 2025) we'll explore:The possibility of meeting whatever is here, including the grand challenges we are facing, with greater wisdom, balance, and love.For more on Mark please visit marknepo.comFor more on Elizabeth check out elizabethlesser.org, and for more on Omega Institute please visit: eomega.orgI was reminded in this conversation that perhaps the most potent way we might find our way through these times, And back to each other,Is by remembering that at some level we are all made of the same stuff. Each one of us, a human being - part of a larger whole.A reminder which in Mark's words took this form:“When we come back into direct connection with life,There's a reverence for life. And when we have a reverence for life we can't do harm.”Did you find this episode inspiring?

Lent invites us to trust God's providence—but it also calls for intention. In this episode, Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, author of Witness, joins Katie and her husband, Tommy, to reflect on approaching the season with purpose. Fr. Patrick shares how writing a Lenten reflection journal helped him contemplate the Cross more deeply and why we're invited to stand at its foot—ready to receive all the grace the Lord desires to give through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

You know what no one tells you about scaling to multiple six figures? I did it with 400 Instagram followers and a hundred people on my email list. When I hit $1.2 million in one year, I had 4,000 followers on Instagram. Not 40,000. Not 400,000. Just 4,000. My email list was about 8,000 at the time, and we didn't even have a website.If you've been spinning your wheels trying to grow your Instagram following because you think that's what's gonna get you clients, this is about to set you free from the content hamster wheel. Here's the truth that the online business world doesn't want you to hear: You don't need a huge audience to build a thriving business.

Author Kylie Ora Lobell joins Bridget for a thoughtful conversation about her book, Choosing to Be Chosen, which tells the story of her conversion from atheist to Orthodox Jew. Kylie's shift from atheism was sparked by a melting warmth she recognized as God at a Shabbat dinner, and it led her on a five-year journey of embracing kosher laws, rituals, the challenges of conversion, and a profound trust in God amid life's darkest questions (like child suffering and October 7th). They discuss why taking care of yourself is a Godly instinct, how most Americans in general are not that exposed to Judaism, resilience, mourning, introversion and extroversion, child-rearing, seeing the Godliness in everyone, why you really step into gender roles when you're a parent, the importance of finding a community, and why Kylie thinks finding God and faith regardless of religion is a good thing for everyone. ----------------------------------------------------------------------Sponsor Links:- Try Qualia Stem for up to 50% off at qualialife.com/BRIDGET and use the code BRIDGET for an additional 15% off your order - https://bit.ly/WiW-Qualia- Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.
