Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi sits down with Annie F. Downs to talk about how to stop letting what you don't have keep you from fully living the life God has given you right now. From fear and disappointment to unanswered prayers and dreams that haven't happened yet, Annie and Madi unpack how to recognize when something good has become an idol, how to keep hoping without holding too tightly to the outcome, and what to do when God feels silent. If you've been waiting, praying, or wondering what's keeping you from moving forward, this episode is for you!
As always, stay you and stay true!
Topics we dive into: What is holding you back? How do you keep hoping without idolizing a dream? What do you do when your prayers go unanswered? Can you miss what God has for you? Is fear causing you to hide or hold yourself back? How do you surrender a dream without giving up hope? How do you trust God when life doesn't go according to your plan?

Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi sits down with Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole to talk about caring for our bodies in a world that often leaves us stressed and exhausted. They explore what it means to treat your body as a temple, whether damage can be reversed, and how the popular health trends can become an idol. This conversation goes beyond health habits to ask a bigger question: How can we use the life God has given us to love and mentor others?
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.
