Summary
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!

| 0:00.0 | We pray this prayer of God, give me clarity, and I don't think that's the prayer we should be praying. I think the prayer we should be praying is God increase my faith. We live in such a noisy, loud world. We also live such busy, full lives. And if we don't take time to silence the noise, to quiet our soul, and to be still and know that He is God, we're not going to know His voice. We're not going to know His will. we're not going to know what to do. |
| 0:23.9 | If what matters most is that I want to love God with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my soul, with all my strength, that changes everything. You know, motivation is all about feelings, but discipline is all about devotion. The delight will often follow, but you have to choose the discipline first. If you are fully submitted to God and you are in relationship with him, I really don't think you can mess it up. |
