She unpacks how to take your eyes off yourself, follow the way of Jesus, and find true freedom by living for something greater than yourself.

Topics we dive into:

• What's wrong with the message "love yourself"?

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with singer-songwriter Jamie MacDonald for a powerful conversation about trusting God's timing when you feel behind.

Long before the #1 songs, Jamie spent years singing in the background, wondering when the dreams God placed on her heart would ever happen. After walking through loss, disappointment, unexpected detours, and years of waiting, Jamie signed her first record deal at 40. Her story is a reminder that God is not late, and the years that feel hidden are never wasted.

Together, Madi and Jamie talk about what it looks like to trust God when everyone around you seems to be moving forward, how to stay faithful when your prayers haven't been answered yet, and why God may be doing some of His deepest work in you while you wait.

If you've ever wondered, "God, when is it going to be my turn?" or felt like you should be further along by now, this episode is for YOU.

You are not behind. God has not forgotten you. And His timing can still be trusted.

As always... be sure to stay you and stay true!

Topics we dive into:

-What do you do when you feel behind in life?

-How do you trust God when His timing doesn't match yours?

-How do you stop comparing your timeline to everyone else's?

-What is God doing in your waiting season?

-How do you surrender your plans while still holding onto hope?

-How can you stay faithful when prayers seem unanswered?

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!

Topics we dive into:

-Why Kevin said no to Pentatonix and how God changed everything

-How to steward your gifts without letting them become your identity

-Staying grounded in Christ in an industry driven by applause

-Finding courage to stand out instead of blending in

-What to do when you feel overlooked, different, or misunderstood

-Remaining rooted in your faith in a secular environment AND SO MUCH MORE!

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with authors, pastors, speakers, and friends Jennie and Levi Lusko for a conversation about something so many of us are craving but struggle to find: true rest. 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.

Together, they talk about what to do when your mind won't stop spiraling, how to trust God when it feels like He's silent, and why following Jesus doesn't mean life will always be easy. Jennie and Levi also share practical wisdom on fighting entitlement and discovering the kind of soul-deep rest that only God can provide. If you've been feeling worn out, discouraged, or simply running on empty, this conversation will remind you where real peace is found.

As always... be sure to stay you and stay true!

Topics we dive into:

-Why do we feel so spiritually exhausted?

-What do you do when your mind won't stop spiraling?

-How do you trust God when He doesn't seem to answer your prayers?

-How do you fight entitlement and cultivate gratitude?

-What does true rest for your soul actually look like?

-Why is God more concerned with who you're becoming than what you're doing?

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Bible teacher, author, and The Bible Recap host Tara-Leigh Cobble for a conversation that might completely change the way you read Scripture. If you've ever opened the Bible and felt confused, overwhelmed, discouraged, or wondered if you're missing something, this episode is for YOU.

Together, they unpack one of the biggest mistakes Christians make when reading the Bible, why so many of us unknowingly read Scripture through the lens of culture instead of God's character, and how seeing the Bible the way it was intended changes everything.

Topics we dive into:

-Are you reading the Bible the way it was meant to be read?

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?

AND SO MUCH MORE!

In today's episode, Madi sits down with her new friend, Lily Meschi, who was born and raised in Iran in a Muslim family before moving to the United States. Together, they have an honest conversation about what life was really like for Lily growing up in Iran, the realities many women face behind closed doors, and the questions that ultimately led her to explore Christianity and surrender her life to Jesus.

They also discuss the true cost of converting from Islam, why faith can be such a dangerous topic in certain parts of the world, and the difference between simply knowing about God and having a genuine relationship with Him.

Madi and Lily also dive into the current tensions and conflict in the Middle East, address common misconceptions about the Iranian people, and explore how Christians can engage these conversations with both biblical truth and Christlike compassion.

This is one of those conversations that will challenge your perspective, deepen your faith, and stay with you long after it ends.

As always... be sure to stay you and stay true!

Topics we dive into:

-What is life really like in Iran today?

-Why are so many people coming to faith in Jesus in Iran?

-What does it truly cost someone to leave Islam?

-How should Christians think about the conflict in the Middle East?

-What does it mean to have a personal relationship with Jesus instead of simply knowing about God?

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.
