Summary

Welcome back to Stay True Podcast! Today, Madi and Grant are diving into a powerful and often misunderstood part of God’s character: His discipline. In a culture that loves to talk about God’s love but often avoids the harder truths, this episode takes a deep and honest look at why God's correction is actually a form of His kindness. Many of us have wrestled with questions like, “Is God mad at me?” or “Why does following Him feel hard sometimes?” In this conversation, Madi and Grant explore how His discipline isn’t punishment, but loving guidance meant to lead us to freedom. After this episode, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of God’s heart and a greater confidence in His goodness– even in the hard moments.

Stay you and stay true!

Questions/topics discussed and answered:
-What is God’s discipline and how do I know if he is disciplining me?
-Is God being cruel when life feels hard?
-What is the difference between God’s discipline and the consequence of my own sin?
-Can I be in God's will and still suffer?
-Is God’s wrath still active today or was it just in the Old Testament?
AND SO MUCH MORE
