Have you ever felt spiritually stuck? Like you're doing all the right things but still feel disconnected from God?

In this episode, Madi and Grant unpack one of Jesus' most powerful teachings in John 15: abiding. So often we focus on producing fruit, finding our purpose, or becoming the person God has called us to be, but Jesus points us to something deeper. Before fruitfulness comes connection. Before impact comes intimacy.

Together, Madi and Grant discuss why so many Christians are exhausted from striving, what it actually means to remain in Christ, and how abiding is less about trying harder and more about staying close to Jesus. They talk about the subtle ways we drift from dependence on God, why pruning is a necessary part of growth, and how a vibrant relationship with Jesus transforms every area of our lives.

Our prayer is that this episode would encourage you to slow down, draw near to Jesus, and experience the peace, joy, and fruit that come from remaining in Him.

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Matt Chandler to explore the lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus. What happens after salvation? Why doesn't God instantly remove our struggles? And how is the Holy Spirit transforming us even when growth feels slow?

Drawing from Scripture and the teachings of Jesus in the Beatitudes, Madi and Pastor Matt unpack how God transforms believers over time and what genuine spiritual growth actually looks like. They discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in shaping our character, why sanctification is both God's work and our cooperation, and how everyday moments become opportunities for God to make us more like Christ.

If you've ever felt discouraged by your struggles, frustrated by slow growth, or wondered if you're truly changing, this conversation is a reminder that spiritual maturity isn't about perfection. It's about faithfully walking with Jesus and trusting Him to complete the work He started in you.

Stay you and stay true!

Topics we dive into:

-Why am I still struggling with the same sins?

-How do I know if I'm actually growing spiritually?

-What is sanctification, and why does it feel so slow?

-Can I be saved and still struggle?

-How does the Holy Spirit actually change us?

-What does it practically look like to become more like Jesus?

AND SO MUCH MORE!

In this episode, Grant dives into 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 and unpacks one of the greatest battles every believer faces: the battle of the mind. Our thoughts shape our emotions, influence our decisions, and ultimately impact the direction of our lives. But not every thought that enters our mind is from God, and Scripture calls us to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that spiritual warfare often begins in our thought life. Grant shares how the enemy often attacks through lies, strongholds, and distorted thinking, and how God's truth gives us the weapons to tear them down. He discusses practical ways to recognize unhealthy thought patterns, renew your mind through Scripture, and walk in the freedom that comes from aligning your thoughts with Christ.

My prayer is that this episode would help you identify the lies you've been believing, replace them with God's truth, and experience the peace and victory that come from taking every thought captive.

In this episode, Madi dives into Psalm 34 and unpacks one of the most foundational truths of the Christian life: the fear of the Lord. What we fear most often reveals what we value most, and ultimately, what we worship most. The fear of the Lord isn't about being afraid of God; it's about revering Him above everything else. When we fear God rightly, we are freed from fearing man.

This conversation is a powerful invitation to examine our hearts, surrender the idols of approval and control, and rediscover the freedom that comes from living in awe of who God is.

My prayer is that this episode would help you grow in the fear of the Lord, trust Him more deeply, and find the courage to live boldly for an audience of One.

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Hosanna Wong for a powerful conversation about identity, self-worth, and the freedom that comes from seeing yourself the way God sees you. In a world that constantly tells us to prove ourselves, perform for approval, and compare our lives to everyone else's, Madi and Hosanna dive deep into the battle for our identity, exposing the lies that keep us stuck in insecurity, striving, and comparison. They share practical ways to overcome a performance-based mindset, walk confidently in who God created you to be, and live from God's acceptance rather than for it. Whether you're struggling with self-doubt, constantly comparing yourself to others, or simply wanting to better understand your identity in Christ, this conversation will encourage you to stand firm in truth and embrace the person God uniquely designed you to be.

Stay you and stay true!

Topics we dive into:

-How to overcome a performance-based mindset

-Why your view of God impacts your view of yourself

Madi and Grant talk about one of the most convicting teachings of Jesus: the narrow gate. Following Him isn't the popular path, and it's not the easiest… but it's the one that leads to life.

This conversation challenges the idea of comfortable Christianity and calls us back to what it really means to count the cost and walk in obedience.

My prayer is that you would have the courage to choose the narrow way, even when it's hard, and trust that it leads to true life in Jesus.

Why do we fill our lives with so much noise? Why does slowing down feel uncomfortable or even unproductive?

Madi dives into the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10 and calls out something most of us don't want to admit… we're busy doing FOR Jesus, but not actually being WITH Him.

This episode gets honest about distraction, performance, busyness, and the pressure to "do more," and how it can pull us away from what actually matters most.

My prayer is that you would slow down, refocus your heart, and choose what matters most… being with Jesus over doing for Him. New episodes every Thursday at 7am EST 🤍
