Run Your Race & Let Go of the Weight - Hebrews 12:1-2

Stay True with Madison Prewett Troutt

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:...

Made For More (John 4)

Stay True with Madison Prewett Troutt

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,...

What the Bible Says About Anxiety (Matthew 6 Explained)

Stay True with Madison Prewett Troutt

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....

How to Pray.

Stay True with Madison Prewett Troutt

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...

Jennie opens up about the tension, the doubt, and the spiritual...

Luke 23:32-43: Which Thief Are You?

Stay True with Madison Prewett Troutt

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...
