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. 🤍

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Compassion International alumni Jey Mbiro for a powerful conversation about poverty, hope, and the life-changing impact of compassion through the local church. Jey shares his incredible story of growing up in Kenya, surviving through stealing and begging, and being imprisoned at just nine years old before crying out to God.
Through Compassion International, sponsorship, and the love of Jesus, Jey's life was completely transformed. Today, he's using his story and ministry to bring hope to the next generation and remind others that no life is too far gone for God's redemption. Together, Madi and Jey discuss the role of the Church in fighting poverty, why sponsorship matters deeply, and how one act of compassion can change a child's life forever.

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.

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?
AND SO MUCH MORE!
