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 🤍

In this episode, Grant dives into one of the hardest commands Jesus gives us in Matthew 6:9–14: forgiveness. Forgiveness isn't optional for believers. It's at the very center of the life God calls us to live.

But what does forgiveness actually look like? Why is it so difficult to let go of hurt?

This conversation gets honest about the weight of unforgiveness and how bitterness, offense, and pain can quietly keep us bound. Grant unpacks how forgiveness is not about excusing the wound, but about surrendering it to God and allowing Him to heal what we can't heal on our own. Through Jesus, we've been freely forgiven, and He invites us into that same freedom by extending grace to others. Forgiveness may not change the past, but it can change your heart, your healing, and your future.

Our prayer is that this episode helps you release what you've been carrying, trust God with the hurt, and walk in the freedom that comes through forgiveness. 🤍

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Compassion International alumni Jey Mbiro for a powerful conversation about poverty, hope, and the life-changing impact of compassion through the local church. Jey shares his incredible story of growing up in Kenya, surviving through stealing and begging, and being imprisoned at just nine years old before crying out to God.

Through Compassion International, sponsorship, and the love of Jesus, Jey's life was completely transformed. Today, he's using his story and ministry to bring hope to the next generation and remind others that no life is too far gone for God's redemption. Together, Madi and Jey discuss the role of the Church in fighting poverty, why sponsorship matters deeply, and how one act of compassion can change a child's life forever.

You're going to want to hear this one!

Madi opens up about the hidden struggles we try to keep buried… the thoughts, habits, fears, and sins we hope no one sees. But Psalm 139 reminds us of something powerful: God already knows every part of us, and He still invites us closer.

So why do we keep hiding? Why do we carry shame instead of surrendering it?

This episode dives into David's prayer: "Search me, God, and know my heart," and what it looks like to honestly invite God into the places we try to avoid. Because conviction from God isn't meant to condemn you… it's meant to heal you.

In this conversation, Madi talks about: -Why hidden sin keeps us stuck in shame -What it means to let God search your heart -How God creates a clean and pure heart through surrender -Why freedom begins with honesty before God

My prayer is that you would stop hiding, let God into the deepest parts of your heart, and experience the freedom, healing, and purity only He can bring.

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi is joined by Stay True podcast manager Leigha Gregory for a super real, unfiltered Q&A… and honestly, nothing is off the table.

We're talking about the questions you don't always say out loud--

What do you do when God feels far? How do you actually know if you're hearing His voice… or your own thoughts? How are you supposed to make big decisions without overthinking everything? And… is venting actually unhealthy (or even sinful)?

Madi gets honest about walking through dry seasons, what it looks like to stay close to God when your feelings aren't there, and how she personally learns to listen for His voice in the middle of everyday life. They also get into the real difference between gossip and venting (because let's be honest… that line can feel blurry), plus why mentorship matters so much.

It's part big sister advice, part heart check, part "okay I needed to hear that."

Always remember to stay you and stay true.

Topics we dive into:

-Staying close to God when you feel spiritually dry

-How to hear God's voice without overcomplicating it

-Making big decisions without spiraling

-What is a mentor?

-Is venting actually a sin?

AND SO MUCH MORE!

From distractions to sin to comparison, so many things slow us down without us even realizing it. Hebrews 12 calls us to throw off everything that hinders and run with endurance… but how do you actually do that in real life? What weight are you holding onto? What's keeping you stuck or distracted? Are you even running the race God set before you… or someone else's?

Through this conversation, you'll be reminded that the goal isn't perfection… it's perseverance. And the only way we keep going is by fixing our eyes on Jesus.

In this conversation, Madi and Grant talk about: -What "running your race" actually means -How to identify the weight holding you back -Why letting go is necessary to move forward -What it looks like to stay focused on Jesus daily

My prayer is that you would feel encouraged to release what's been weighing you down, refocus your heart on Jesus, and run your race with endurance and freedom.

Madi opens up about SHAME… what it looks like, how it quietly shapes the way we see ourselves, and why it so often causes us to hide. Shame isn't just about what we've done… it's rooted in what we believe about who we are and who God is.

Does He really see me? Does He actually know me… and still love me?

Through the story of the woman at the well in John 4, we're reminded that Jesus doesn't avoid our brokenness. He meets us in it. While we run to so many different "wells" trying to satisfy our deepest needs, nothing truly fills us the way He can. The truth is, God fully sees you and completely knows you… and still calls you loved.

In this conversation, Madi talks about: -How shame keeps us hiding and isolated -Why we turn to other "wells" for fulfillment -What it means that Jesus meets us in our mess -How being known by God leads to true freedom

My prayer is that you would feel seen in your story, reminded that you are fully known and deeply loved, and begin to experience the kind of satisfaction that only comes from Jesus.
