Have you ever been scared while waiting for answers — and your mind went straight to the worst?

Stop scrolling — if you're scared while waiting for answers, you are NOT alone. When you're stuck in the uncertain times — between what you feel and what you hope — the waiting becomes the hardest part. If that's you, don't click away — stay with us for the first 60 seconds.

This episode is part of a globally streamed, 5-star Christian show with listeners in 16+ countries, recognized as one of the top Christian women's podcasts for real faith and real-life conversation.

In this raw mother-daughter conversation, Chosen By Jesus hosts Kelley and Taylor Tyan talk openly about the emotional and spiritual battle that happens in the waiting — especially when fear, symptoms, tests, or unanswered questions leave you imagining the worst instead of expecting God's best.

If your family has faced difficult medical seasons, the waiting hits different.

Even when it could be anything, your mind goes back to what you've survived before.

Experience shapes fear — even when faith is present.

But waiting does not mean God is silent — or absent.

Waiting is the place where trust becomes oxygen.

Hey CBJ Family!

Join our FREE virtual workshop 11/12 at 7PM EST on Zoom! "Peace Over Pressure: How to Thrive Through the Holidays" We can't wait to see you there!

Letting go sounds simple...until God asks for the thing you've been holding onto the tightest.

Kelley and Taylor get real about the hardest lesson in faith: surrender. They share personal stories of learning how to release control, trust God's timing, and find peace in the unknown.

If you've ever prayed: "You're will be done" while secretly wondering what that might cost you, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• What Godly surrender really means (and why it's not weakness)
• Why control feels safer, and how to actually release it
• How fear, pride, and disappointment keeps us from peace
• What happens when you stop striving and let God move
• Daily ways to live surrendered, with faith, not fear

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not in your own understanding" Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

You can't be full of control and faith at the same time. Peace starts the moment you stop fighting for it and start trusting for it.

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.

LAST CHANCE TO JOIN "SHE RISES!" This is our 8 week group coaching designed to help you rise higher in faith, courage, God-confidence, and connection to like minded women. We cannot wait to meet you inside and walk this journey with you!

Today on this show, we ask, "why are you so distracted?" Doesn't it feel like everyday we are being pulled away from God? We are here to tell you that faith is greater than fear and now is the time to focus on God alone and return back to God's Word that can bring you supernatural peace that you deserve.

Life is noisy! From the moment we open our eyes, the pull of social media, constant comparison, and daily pressures compete for our attention. We share our real, personal stories, Biblical truth we stand on, and encouragement to help you overcome life's distractions, so you can return to the truth, the Word of God, and live with faith, not fear.

What You'll Learn:

*How to stay focused on God when distractions are everywhere

*Why living with faith over fear changes everything for you

*Practical daily habits to anchor your mind and heart in Scripture

*Encouragement that your true legacy is found in Christ

Return to God's Word, live with focus, and remember-your true legacy is in Christ. This reminder has been stirred as many reflect on recent voices in faith like Charlie Kirk. While culture debates, the truth remains: only a life anchored in Christ, leaves an eternal impact.

Stay encouraged: God has not left you. Faith is greater than fear-and with Him, you are never alone.
