What It Really Means to Fear God (Psalm 34 Explained) Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

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.

The Lie That's Making You Feel Far From God with Hosanna Wong Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

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.

The Scariest Verse Jesus Ever Spoke (Matthew 7:13-20) May 28, 2026

Show notes

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.

What the Bible Says About Busyness (Luke 10 Explained) May 21, 2026

Show notes

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 🤍

Why Unforgiveness Keeps You Stuck (Matthew 6:9–14) May 14, 2026

Show notes

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. 🤍

Why Your Purity Matters To God (Psalm 139) May 07, 2026

Show notes

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.

ANSWERING YOUR MOST ASKED QUESTIONS! May 04, 2026

Show notes

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!
