Summary

Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi and Grant sit down for an honest end-of-year conversation about what this year taught them about God, marriage, community, and their own hearts. As they look ahead to next year, they unpack the moments that shaped them, the people who inspired them, and the places where they grew… and where they didn't. From asking "How am I really doing?" to "Did I steward this year well?", they share the reflections, convictions, and lessons they're carrying into a new season, along with the practical rhythms and priorities they hope to build in the year ahead.

Always remember to stay you and stay true.

Questions/topics discussed and answered:

• What Madi and Grant learned this year: spiritually, personally, and relationally

• End-of-year reflections: highs, lows, and honest growth moments

• "Who inspired you this year?"

• How to evaluate whether you stewarded your year well

• Their plans, hopes, and goals for next year

• Practical rhythms to enter the new year with intention

AND SO MUCH MORE!
