WATCH & SUBSCRIBE TO THE SHOW ON YOUTUBE @chosenbyJesusCBJ How do you hold onto faith when everything around you feels unstable? In this powerful episode Kelley & Taylor get real about what it looks like to trust God in a world that often feels unsafe- school shooting, church violence, cultural division, and fear. As a mother & daughter walking through life together, they open up about the emotional weight of raising children and navigating today's chaos- and how to stay anchored in peace when everything around you feels uncertain.  Through scripture, honest stories, and Spirit-led encouragement, they reveal the key to living with unshakeable faith in an unstable world: trusting the ONE who never changes. Even when institutions crumble, and headlines break your heart, God's promises remain firm.  The world may shake, but your faith doesn't have to, and remember this: Jesus has you. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, He will give you the strength to walk through any situation, and He will break the demonic fear that's been trying to hold you back.  KEY SCRIPTURES: Hebrews 12:28-29 "since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken..." Isaiah 26:3-4 "you will keep in perfect peace, those whose minds are steadfast." Psalm 18:2 "the Lord is my Rock, my fortress, my deliverer.." Even when the world feels unsafe, God's presence is still our refuge and strength. Faith doesn't remove the storm, it reminds us who's in it, with us.  Watch more faith filled episodes and subscribe here > chosenbyJesusCBJ Connect on Instagram > @chosenbyJesusCBJ Weekly Newsletter - Kelleytyan.com/newsletter Linkedin @kelleytyan Unshakeable faith, faith over fear, Christian podcast, women empowerment podcast, faith development, Spirit-led podcast, leadership, prayer, worship, breaking fear, Jesus has you, raising kids in faith, Christian encouragement, faith in uncertain times, trusting God, overcome anxiety, hope in Jesus, faith & family

     In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis read Hosea chapter 8, where the prophet declares that Israel has “planted the wind and will harvest the whirlwind.” Through Hosea's message, God warns His people that their idolatry, self-appointed kings, and misplaced alliances will lead to destruction. Israel has built altars meant to remove sin, yet those very altars have become places of sin. They've forgotten their Maker and trusted in their own strength, seeking security in palaces, fortified cities, and foreign powers instead of the Lord.      As Sally and Curtis reflect, this passage reveals the danger of turning to anything other than God for hope and stability. Like Israel, we may strive to secure life through our own works or alliances, but these efforts are fruitless apart from the Lord. Curtis draws a parallel to modern faith, noting how our attempts at righteousness can drift into legalism when we depend on our own strength rather than Christ's finished work. Sally reminds us that life and fruitfulness come only from seeking God first—echoing Matthew 6:33: “Seek the kingdom of God above all else…”      Even amid judgment, there is grace. God still sends warnings—signs of His steadfast love calling us back to Him. As the hosts conclude, the true hope of this chapter is not in avoiding discipline but in trusting the Maker who loves, warns, and redeems His people.

I'm joined by Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell for a powerful conversation about what it means to suffer well in seasons of warfare.In this episode, we unpack how God uses pain to refine our hearts, reveal hidden places of brokenness, and draw us closer to His presence when life feels heavy.We talk about how to discern what battles are worth fighting, how to stay silent when the Spirit says “be still,” and how to see purpose in the storms we never asked for.Pastor Philip shares deep biblical wisdom on navigating rejection, spiritual attack, and the tension of being both blessed and broken, often at the same time.If you're feeling weary from the fight, misunderstood in your calling, or ever wondered where God is in the middle of your suffering, this conversation will remind you that even here, He is working something holy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this powerful episode, Heather Creekmore continues October’s "Fear Free Fall” series by digging deep into the often-hidden fear of rejection and how it influences our lives. She unpacks how perfectionism and people-pleasing are tightly related to our need to feel accepted and loved. Through personal stories, relatable examples, and biblical truth, Heather unravels the underlying self-protective strategies we adopt—and how the gospel offers real freedom and grace. Key Topics Covered: What is the Fear of Rejection?Heather explores how this fear drives us and manifests as perfectionism and people-pleasing. She explains that these are self-protective strategies formed by our desire for secure love, belonging, and worth. Perfectionism:Often, we think, “If I get it right, then I’ll be enough.” Heather shares a personal story from college when a single missed typo made her feel immense shame, showing how perfectionism can lead to exhaustion and shame rather than peace. People-Pleasing:The fear that “If I make everyone happy, I’ll be safe.” Heather discusses how people-pleasing is not true peacekeeping or biblical peacemaking and how it can even impact our ability to follow God’s call if the opinions of others control us. Where Does This Come From?Heather highlights how these tendencies usually aren’t intentional—they’re often formed in childhood, at school, or through life experiences that taught us we’d be safer if we kept everyone happy or never made mistakes. How It Affects Others:Unchecked, perfectionism and people-pleasing can also lead us to have unrealistic expectations of others, continuing the cycle for those around us. The Gospel’s Answer:True freedom is found not in earning love and acceptance from people (or God), but in embracing grace. Heather reminds us that Jesus took on ultimate rejection so we can be fully accepted by God, no matter how we perform. A Challenge to Listeners:Heather encourages us to check our motives—are we striving for approval from people or resting in God’s approval? She challenges listeners to shift their perspective from a “people-big, God-small” view to a “God-big, people-small” mindset for greater confidence and peace. Memorable Quotes: “Perfectionism is a fear of inadequacy dressed up as excellence.” “People pleasing is not biblical peacemaking—it’s a form of self-protection.” “You can never be perfect or please everyone, but you are already fully accepted in Jesus.” “Freedom comes when you realize you can’t earn grace—it's a gift.” Resources & Next Steps: Visit heathercreekmore.com for free resources, courses, coaching, and Heather’s books Sign up for the free 10-day encouragement email series!

This week's conversation is full of fall break fun including Angela's recent trip to Chicago and Fran's next adventure.  Fran shares more great questions we can ask our children (and ourselves) as we consider who are becoming.  We also contemplate the difference in ruminating vs. meditating as we consider our memory verse for October, 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and a sound mind." We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives.  We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all.  Favorite quotes and books referenced in this episode: "Leadership is easy to visualize and harder to actualize." Dr. Dub Oliver Leadership is a journey, it's never a destination.  We should always be learning and growing and evolving.   If you are experiencing a spirit of fear, that is not from the Lord.  We have to know the difference between the two.  God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold, loving and sensible.

What does it really mean to be the church? In Acts 20:28, Paul reminds believers that the church belongs to God, bought with His own blood, and that every follower of Jesus is called not just to attend, but to belong. This message explores foundational truths about what it means to live as part of God's people and to carry His mission forward. You'll learn: 1. Why the church is essential to spiritual growth and obedience 2. How God speaks to and through His church today 3. What it means to belong to a community shaped by love and purpose 4. Why the church is called to be a light to the world 5. How being planted in God's house leads to lifelong fruitfulness If you've ever wondered what the church really is or why it matters, this message will remind you that God's plan has always been His people, together, living out His mission.

Welcome to the sermon. Last week, we explored Moses's question, "Who am I?" Today, we tackle the other great question from the burning bush: "Who are you, God?" We're diving into Exodus 3 to explore the profound meaning behind the name God reveals for Himself—a name full of mystery and power, which is ultimately and most clearly revealed in the person of Jesus.Scripture ReferencesExodus 3:13-15: Moses asks for God's name, and God reveals Himself as "I AM WHO I AM."John 8:56-59: Jesus declares, "Before Abraham was, I AM," identifying Himself as Yahweh.Hebrews 12:29: "For our God is a consuming fire."Colossians 1:15-20: A description of Jesus as the supreme and exact image of the invisible God.Key Points1. Why Moses Asks for a NameMoses wasn't just asking for a label. In a world of many gods, he needed more than a title; he was asking for God's character and power. He needed to understand who this God was so he could confidently lead the Israelites. It was a request for a deeper revelation of God's very nature.2. The Mysterious Name: "I AM" (YHWH)God's answer is a profound riddle: "I AM WHO I AM." This reveals His personal name, YHWH (often translated as "the LORD"), which points to His self-existence, His eternal and unchangeable nature, and His power as Creator. Like the burning bush itself, God's name is both inviting and holy—the fire draws us in with fascination but also warns us with its power. It's an invitation to spend a lifetime getting to know this mysterious, all-powerful God.3. Jesus is the Answer to the RiddleThe mystery of God's name finds its ultimate answer in Jesus. In the New Testament, Jesus repeatedly uses "I AM" statements ("I am the good shepherd," "I am the vine," etc.) and makes the staggering declaration, "Before Abraham was, I AM" (John 8:58). He wasn't just pointing to Yahweh; He was identifying Himself as Yahweh in the flesh. If the name YHWH was the introduction, Jesus is the full story.ConclusionThe name of God, Yahweh, is not just an ancient fact; it's an invitation into a relationship with the self-existent, all-powerful Creator. Jesus is the final and clearest revelation of this name. He is Yahweh in the flesh, the perfect image of the invisible God, making the mysterious known. To truly know the great "I AM," we must know Jesus.Calls to ActionBow to Jesus: If you have never surrendered to Him, recognize Him today as the one true God, Yahweh in the flesh.Ask for the Fire: If your faith has grown stagnant, pray for the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn away your boredom and fascinate you with God's presence anew.Go Deeper: Move beyond knowing facts about God to pursuing an experiential relationship with God through Jesus.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally read and reflect on Psalm 135—a song of worship that calls all who serve the Lord to praise Him for His goodness, power, and enduring love. From creation to deliverance, the psalm recounts God's mighty works, contrasting His living presence with the lifeless idols made by human hands. Curtis shares how the psalm's repeated invitation to “praise the Lord” reminds us to glorify God in every circumstance—remembering His faithfulness through all generations. Sally explores the deep contrast between a living relationship with the Creator and the emptiness of false treasures that cannot see, speak, or hear. Together, they reflect on how God's Spirit continually reminds us of His justice, compassion, and the victories He brings even when we don't yet see them. Psalm 135 reminds us that God's name endures forever, His compassion reaches His servants, and His justice is sure. Through praise and remembrance, we draw near to the living God who reigns with power and love across all time.

At Redeemer, our pathway is how we seek to embody our vision and mission, or in other words, put it into practice. We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, “that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort.” As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness.  https://redeemerwichita.church/

I break down what the Bible actually says about the rapture of the church, including when it will take place. I also discuss the history of the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine and address objections raised by those who use proof-texts to teach a doctrine that cannot be found in the Bible.

This week, I'm sitting down with Justin Giboney to have an honest conversation about what it means to choose grace in a world that thrives on outrage. Together, we unpack how believers can respond to offense with Christ-like wisdom, especially when tension, politics, and faith collide in public spaces.We talk about what it looks like to pause before reacting, how to discern truth in a noisy culture, and why guarding your witness matters more than winning an argument. Justin shares biblical insight on engaging the culture without losing compassion, and how the posture of our hearts reveals what we truly believe about Jesus.If you've wondered how to respond when the world feels divided, or what faithfulness looks like in a polarized time such as now, this conversation will meet you right where you are.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In Hang in There – You Are Not Alone, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes Satan's strategy of fear and intimidation, reminding believers that these weapons are powerless unless we allow them to control us. Using Acts 18, he reveals how even the Apostle Paul—bold and battle-worn—faced deep fear, discouragement, and loneliness in Corinth. But God did not leave him. Instead, He sent faithful friends, fruitful ministry, divine encouragement, and supernatural protection. Dr. Youssef calls believers to stand firm in the face of spiritual warfare, refusing to retreat. God is still in control, and He will never abandon those who trust in Him. This message calls us to reject fear, repent of doubt, and intercede for boldness—because the God of all comfort is with us.
