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,

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.

Hey CBJ Family,

Today we are diving into Proverbs 8: one of the most powerful chapters in the Bible to help you think clearly, lead wisely, and live with peace instead of pressure.

And if you've ever made a decision you later regretted, this one is for you!

We chose this Proverb after a real-life incident that happened too close to home: Kelley's son's collge- a moment that reminded us how quickly emotions can take over, and how desperately wisdom is needed in high pressure situations.

Proverbs doesn't just tell us what to believe, they teach us how to live.

Proverbs 8 reminds us that wisdom is calling, and God is not hiding His guidance. He wants us to walk with clarity, confidence, and emotional stability.

This week's challenge: read one chapter of Proverbs each day for 31 days; one for each day of the new month. This simple habit can transform the way you think, discern, and lead.

This week, we are talking abut dating and why it can be so overwhelming- especially for Christians trying to honor God while navigating apps, pressure, heartbreak, lonliness, and a culture full of red flags.

This episode is the dating talk everyone needs, especially women! Get ready for a real mother-daughter conversation about dating do's and don'ts, and all the red flags to watch out for. We share how to date wisely, while protecting your heart, and staying rooted in faith.

Scriptures to know:

Proverbs 4:23

1 Corinthians 15:33

If dating feels overwhelming, you're not alone. God sees you. Your worth isn't negociable. You don't have to settle.

God will never send someone who pulls you away from Him. It's time to guard your heart.

Hey CBJ Family,

What if Thanksgiving gratitude wasn't something you finally discovered after everything calmed down...but something God grows in you right in the chaos, the noise, and the real, imperfect moments of life- especially for those carrying extra pressure this season.

In this Thanksgiving week episode, Kelley and Taylor open up with honesty about the expectations, emotions, and weight the holidays can bring- and how God can meet you right in the middle of it.

Holiday gratitude isn't about everything being calm or perfect. It's about finding peace and God's pressure right where life feels messy, noisy, or overwhelming.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

*How to find gratitude even when life feels chaotic

*How God meets you in the stress, tension, and the imperfect moments

*Gratitude is a mindset, not a tool

*Why "give thanks in all circumstances" hots differently during the holidays

Remember, you don't need a perfect holidays to experience God's peace.

You don't need to hold everything together, to be grateful. You don't need the pressure of performing for anyone.

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.

God hasn't gone silent.

Sometimes life just gets loud.
