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:
-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.

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.

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.
