Artlist 2025-2026 License #WY63bx Ever stop listening during an argument because you're already preparing your response? Anger can move our bodies and mouths faster than our minds have had time to process what's actually happening. Day 3 of I'm Stressed About Relationship Challenges gets painfully practical with James 1:19: "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angr...

Artlist 2025-2026 License #WY63bx Have you ever replayed an argument in your head — what they said, what you should have said, and what you're definitely going to say next time? That mental replay can keep relationship stress going long after the conversation ends. In Day 2 of I'm Stressed About Relationship Challenges, we unpack Romans 12:18: "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live...

Artlist 2025-2026 License #WY63bx Relationship conflict can put your mind and body on high alert — but Jesus calls us to something different: love. In Day 1 of our I'm Stressed About Relationship Challenges series, we talk about what happens when hurt, disappointment, and defensiveness start shaping the way we respond to people we love. Then we look at Jesus' words in John 15:12: "Love each other...

Academic pressure doesn't just affect your schedule—it can start shaping the way you think about yourself. In Day 5 of I'm Stressed About Academic Pressures, we're talking about Renew Your Mind and Romans 12:2. Stress can create negative thought patterns like:  "I'm not smart enough."  "I'm going to fail." "I don't have enough time." "Everyone else is doing better than me."  But Romans 12:2 remind...

Academic pressure can make you feel like you have to be perfect. Perfect grades. Perfect performance. Perfect answers. But God never asked you to be perfect—He asked you to trust Him. In Day 4 of I'm Stressed About Academic Pressures, we're talking about Strength in Weakness and 2 Corinthians 12:9. Paul asked God to remove a persistent struggle from his life, but instead God reminded him that His...

Academic pressure can make your mind race before a test, assignment, deadline, or big decision. But Philippians 4:6 gives us a different response: bring it to God. In Day 3 of I'm Stressed About Academic Pressures, we're talking about Anxiety vs. Prayer. Test anxiety can trigger your fight-or-flight response and make it harder to focus or remember what you studied. But instead of letting anxiety t...

Paul reminds us that whatever we're doing—even ordinary things like homework, studying, writing a paper, or showing up for...

Whether you're struggling with homework, preparing for an exam, choosing classes, managing your time, or worrying about your future, God invites you to bring it to Him....

Comparison is one of the fastest ways to steal your joy. Social media, careers, relationships, finances—even our faith—can become measuring sticks that leave us feeling like we're falling behind. In this episode, we explore Galatians 6:4 and learn why God never asks us to compare ourselves to others. Instead, He calls each of us to faithfully follow the unique path He has prepared. You'll learn ho...

Comparison and criticism can distort the way we see ourselves. Before long, we begin believing lies like,  "I'm not enough," "I'll never measure up," or "Why can't I be more like them?" In this episode, we turn to Psalm 139:14 and discover the truth about our identity. God says you are fearfully and wonderfully made —created with purpose, value, and intentional design. Your worth isn't determined...

Fear of People vs. Fear of God Proverbs 29:25 What controls your decisions—the opinions of people or your trust in God? Proverbs 29:25 says that "fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe." In this episode, we unpack what it really means to fear people, why seeking approval becomes a trap, and how trusting God brings lasting peace. If you've ever struggled w...

Have you ever worried about what other people think of you? Whether it's friends, family, coworkers, or even strangers online, the pressure to gain approval can leave us anxious, exhausted, and constantly trying to measure up.

The Old Testament can be intimidating, especially when verses like Amos 5:6 seem to portray an angry God. But is that really what's happening? In this episode of Not Yet Christian, we unpack the historical context behind Amos 5:6 and discover that God's warnings weren't about pushing people away... They were an invitation to return to a relationship with Him. We explore the difference between reli...

If you've ever been hurt, betrayed, insulted, or mistreated, Luke 6:28 may be one of the hardest verses in the Bible to live out.

We explore why responding with love instead of retaliation isn't about letting people off the hook... It's about finding freedom from bit...

In this episode of Not Yet Christian, we unpack James 2:3 and explore the difference between how people often evaluate others and how God sees them. While the world tends to focus on appearance, wealth, status, and influence, God looks at the heart. We discuss favoritism, personal biases, God's heart for the po...

Our fear, shame, anxiety, identity, and the weight we were never meant to carr...

A few hours before recording this episode, Chaney received life-changing news about her health: a breast cancer diagnosis. She had every reason to cancel. But she didn't.

In this raw and honest conversation, we talk about what it rea...
