Stay True with Madison Prewett Troutt

Show Notes

Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! You may know Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle from their viral conversations and debates on college campuses, where they take on some of the hardest questions about God, Christianity, and faith. This week, they're sitting down with Madi to bring those conversations to Stay True! Cliffe and Stuart help us understand not only WHAT we believe, but WHY we believe it. Whether you've followed Jesus your whole life, are wrestling with doubts, or simply want to be better equipped to defend your faith, this conversation is for you.

As always, stay you and stay true!

Topics we dive into: Is there 100% proof that God exists? How do we know Christianity is true? Does everyone have the gift of faith? How can a good God send people to Hell? Why does Satan have so much power? How can we trust the Bible? What can a Christian do that an atheist can't? What would God say to the American Church today?

Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi sits down with Lysa TerKeurst to talk about the cost of control and how to get your peace back. When we're afraid of getting hurt, disappointed, or blindsided again, control can feel like protection… but what is it actually costing us? Madi and Lysa unpack the fears underneath our need for control, how past pain affects our ability to trust, and what it looks like to move forward through forgiveness and surrender. If you've been carrying the weight of trying to hold everything together, this conversation will encourage you to trust God with what you can't control and let His peace rule in your heart. As always, stay you and stay true!

Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! In a culture that constantly tells us to love yourself, romanticize our lives, protect our peace, and put ourselves first, Jesus offers a radically different invitation: come and die, deny yourself, and serve others. In this episode, Madi is answering honest questions about comparison, insecurity, people-pleasing, pride, and self-obsession. She unpacks how to take your eyes off yourself, follow the way of Jesus, and find true freedom by living for something greater than yourself.
