Podcasts about endless encouragement

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.

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. ⸻ 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.

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. ⸻ Subscribe to Chosen By Jesus for biblical encouragement, practical faith, and real-life truth that helps you walk it out—especially on the hard days. ⸻ You don't need more motivation—you need alignment. Discipline rooted in faith isn't punishment. It's freedom.   Watch the full episode: Motivation Is a Lie Subscribe to Chosen By Jesus for faith over feelings, every week.   "You don't wait for motivation. You walk by faith." ⸻ PRAYER God, we bring You the vision You placed in our hearts. Help us trust You when progress feels invisible. Teach us obedience in the waiting, peace in the silence, and faith to believe You are still working—even when we can't see it. We commit our plans to You and trust Your timing. In Jesus' name, amen.   ⸻   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.

Jana Flaig My cancer experience establishes my credibility for knowing fear, and the experience through which I learned to Fight Fear. Cancer was my hardship, but others Fight Fear that comes with divorce, job loss, foreclosure, etc.  The focus is not which hardship your listeners experienced; the focus is learning practical tips to knock out the fear that comes with any life challenge. Other than a brief 1-2 sentence background as fear expert (Stage 3c ovarian cancer survivor "who's greatest battle was against fear that overwhelmed her and threatened to defeat her."), the interview is on to the talking points of Fighting Fear.
