Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | Psalm 139, 23 through 24. Search me, God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. |
| 0:09.3 | See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way of everlasting. What a powerful |
| 0:16.1 | admission and confession that David is making here in Psalm 139. He is saying, God, you know me better |
| 0:24.1 | than I know me. This is one of my favorite prayers to pray. I pray this prayer probably every single |
| 0:31.2 | day. It's one of those that I just have memorized. And so I'll just pray it kind of wherever. I'm |
| 0:36.2 | like folding laundry or I'm, you know, in my prayer closet or I'm on a walk or I'm, you know, whatever. I'm in my car. This is one of my favorite prayers to pray because so often we don't even know the sins we've committed against God. We don't even know all of the anxiety stored up in our heart. We don't even know all of the things that we have |
| 0:55.4 | fixated our minds on that have caused us separation from God and separation from what he's called |
| 1:01.0 | us to do with our life and in loving other people. And so I love to pray this prayer because I say, |
| 1:06.6 | God, search me, know me, remove any offensive way in in me anything that would separate me from you |
| 1:11.9 | anything that would hinder me from walking in the calling you've put on my life please remove it |
| 1:17.3 | please expose it please reveal it and take it out of my life lead me in the way of everlasting |
| 1:23.7 | life this is a prayer of repentance a prayer prayer of purity, a prayer of acknowledging God's |
| 1:31.2 | sovereignty. There's so much packed in these two verses in Psalm 139. And I love it because it leads me to |
| 1:38.3 | all of these other verses that I think about, but I really take away from this passage that it's all about the heart. |
| 1:44.9 | It talks about in Proverbs 4, guard your heart, for everything you do will flow from it. |
| 1:50.7 | So we know the heart is the core of the person and we see in this, God, search my heart, remove anything in me that is going to keep me from walking in righteousness. |
| 2:00.5 | And so as we know in |
| 2:02.0 | scripture, we can't walk in righteousness on our own. Nothing we do, nothing we say, nothing we muster up, |
| 2:10.0 | no wiring that we have, no family that we're born into can give us the righteousness that we |
| 2:15.4 | need to choose the righteous path, to choose God. It's not |
| 2:19.4 | our own efforts. It's not our works. But it is the finished work of Jesus Christ that as 2nd |
| 2:25.0 | Corinthians 521 tells us that he became sin so that in him we could become his righteousness. |
