Run Your Race & Let Go of the Weight - Hebrews 12:1-2 Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

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.

Made For More (John 4) Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

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.

What the Bible Says About Anxiety (Matthew 6 Explained) Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Grant gets real about ANXIETY… what it looks like, how it shows up in our everyday lives, and why it's something so many of us quietly carry.

Anxiety isn't just about what's happening around us… it's often rooted in what we believe about God.

Is He near? Does He actually care?

The truth is, God is not distant in heaven, removed from your situation. He is present, personal, and fully aware of what you need, even before you ask.

And the way we fight anxiety isn't by trying to control every outcome… it's by learning to worship in the middle of uncertainty.

In this conversation, Grant talks about: -How anxiety can reveal misplaced trust -What Jesus meant when He said "do not worry about your life" -Why God's nearness changes everything -How worship becomes a weapon against anxiety

My prayer is that you would be reminded of God's closeness and begin to experience the kind of peace that only comes from trusting Him.

How to Pray. Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

You've probably said these words before… "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name." Maybe you learned it as a kid, heard it in church, or have recited it without fully understanding what it means.

But in Matthew 6:5–13, Jesus isn't just giving us a prayer to repeat… He's giving us a blueprint for how to pray.

In this episode, Madi walks through the Lord's Prayer line by line, breaking down what each part means and how it actually shapes the way we talk to God in our everyday lives.

Some of us don't know what to say when we pray.

Others feel like they're doing it "wrong."

But what if Jesus already showed us exactly how to do it?

We're talking about:

-What it really means to call God "Our Father"

-What it looks like to pray for His will, not just our own

-How to depend on Him daily

AND SO MUCH MORE

My prayer is that you would stop overthinking prayer, start showing up authentically, and experience just how personal your relationship with God can be.

Luke 23:32-43: Which Thief Are You? Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

It's Holy Week! You've probably seen this image before… three crosses on a hill. Maybe on a bumper sticker, a piece of jewelry, a church sign, or a social media post; but in Luke 23:39-43, we're invited to look closer. In this episode, Madi and Grant unpack the powerful reality behind those three crosses, specifically the two thieves beside Jesus. In their final moments, both men face the same Savior… yet they respond in completely different ways.

One hardens his heart. The other humbly turns to Jesus.

And the question we're left with is: which one are we?

We're talking about:

-The contrast between a hardened heart and a surrendered one

-What it looks like to recognize our need for a Savior

-The power of salvation

-And how even in his final breath, one thief found grace

This episode is an invitation to reflect, to soften, and to remember that it's never too late to turn to Him.

My prayer is that you would see yourself honestly, respond to Jesus fully, and rest in the truth that salvation is available to YOU.
