The Calling You Almost Missed with Kevin Olusola from Pentatonix
This week on Stay True Podcast, Kevin Olusola opens up about calling, identity, and what it looks like to trust God when it doesn’t make sense. From turning down a life-changing opportunity with Pentatonix to later stepping into it with full confidence in God’s timing, Kevin shares how surrender changed everything. Kevin and Madi dive into the tension of stewarding your gifts with excellence without letting performance define you, and what it looks like to stay grounded in an industry built on applause and recognition. Kevin opens up about the pressure to fit in, the courage it takes to stand out, and how his faith has anchored him through every season. This episode also speaks to anyone who has ever felt “too different” or misunderstood. Kevin shares why the very thing you’re tempted to hide might be the exact thing God wants to use, and how staying rooted in Christ is the only way to remain steady when everything else feels uncertain. If you’ve ever struggled with identity, felt pressure to perform, or wondered how to stay faithful in a secular space, this conversation will hit deep. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to fit in to be used by God. Stay you and stay true!

In a world that constantly tells us to do more, hustle harder, and keep pushing, it's no wonder so many of us feel spiritually exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed.

Stop Acting Christian with Kyle Idleman
This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman! Together, they unpack one of the most important questions every Christian has to answer: Are we following the real Jesus… or the version of Jesus we've created? In a culture that constantly reshapes Jesus into someone who fits our preferences, politics, emotions, and lifestyle, this conversation challenges us to return to the Jesus of Scripture. Madi and Pastor Kyle talk about why so many people want Jesus as Savior but not as Lord, how we've unintentionally turned Christianity into something we consume instead of a life we surrender, and what it actually costs to follow Christ. If you've ever wondered whether your faith has been shaped more by culture than by God's Word, this episode will leave you asking some hard, but life-changing questions. Be sure to stay you and stay true! Questions we answer in this episode: -Have we created a version of Jesus that looks more like us than Scripture? -Has culture quietly shaped the way you see Jesus? -Are you following Christ, or just consuming Christianity? -How can you tell if your faith is built on God's Word or personal preference? -Why did Jesus talk so much about surrender and sacrifice? -What does it actually cost to follow Jesus?

How to Know God's Will (Romans 12:1-2 Explained)
In this episode, Madi walks through Romans 12:1–2 and unpacks what it truly means to offer your life as a living sacrifice to God. In a culture that constantly tells us to live for ourselves, Scripture calls us to something radically different: to surrender every part of our lives to the Lord and trust that His will is far better than our own. Together, we'll dive into what biblical surrender actually looks like, why transformation begins with the renewing of our minds, how to discern God's will for our lives, and why following Jesus requires daily sacrifice rather than occasional commitment. If you've ever wondered what God's will is or struggled to fully surrender your plans, desires, or future to Him, this episode is for you. My prayer is that this conversation would encourage you to lay your life before the Lord again, trust Him more deeply, and experience the transformation that only comes from living fully surrendered to Jesus.

Why You Feel Spiritually Dry (John 15 Explained)
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.

Why Your Faith Isn’t Growing (And What to Do About It) with Matt Chandler
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?

How to Take Control of Your Thoughts (2 Corinthians 10 Explained)
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.

What It Really Means to Fear God (Psalm 34 Explained)
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. New episodes every Thursday at 7am EST 🤍

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. New episodes every Thursday at 7am EST 🤍

What the Bible Says About Busyness (Luke 10 Explained)
Why do we fill our lives with so much noise? Why does slowing down feel uncomfortable or even unproductive?

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)

Why Unforgiveness Keeps You Stuck (Matthew 6:9–14)
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. 🤍 New episodes every Thursday at 7AM EST.

Why Your Purity Matters To God (Psalm 139)

Why Your Purity Matters To God (Psalm 139)
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!
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?

Run Your Race & Let Go of the Weight - Hebrews 12:1-2
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)
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)
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.
04/09/2026
How to Pray.
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.
