Say, "Submit to Christ. Bow to Christ!" when an intrusive thought comes creeping in. Oooof! So good! I love this podcast so much! You guys are so true and so awesome in delivering the truth! ❤️🔥
WOW!! The most empowering episode ever! Grant's vulnerability moved me to tears- totally rocked it! You both are an amazing team- a dynamic duo! Thank you for staying true! Be blessed 1000-fold!🤩😘😍
Grant and Madi's honesty and rawness is so refreshing and helpful to so many. Thank you for what y'all do and keep the vulnerable episodes coming! You are doing God's work ❤❤❤❤
Madi, through all your doubts just know you are making more of a difference than you even realize. Keep it up, the enemy only attacks when we're on our right path!💛
Grants real and rawness is so incredibly refreshing. He goes the distance in the details and give very practical ways to get past things. What a vessel God has chosen and is using!
Thank you Maddie!!! So much encouragement as a fellow Christian. Getting to hear other peoples walks with Christ is such a blessing. Specifically, it helps me to recognize the fruits of the spirit. As one gets closer to God, one sees more and more because the relationship creates order. As I hear more about God in others lives, I also recognize with more clarity how he is moving in my life. He has the same character. I’m so thankful for you!!!
ahhh i get so excited when y'all upload. Your podcast has truly helped my journey in growing my relationship with God. You and Grant are touching so many people's lives (including mine all the way in Sydney :) ) Hope y'all have a wonderful week and I can't wait to drink my morning coffee listening to this new episode!
This helped me! Thank you Madi and Grant! Followed Madi since the bachelor, I was invested in her journey and I was stunned by her bold moves for Jesus which led me to want to 'go all in' with Jesus as Madi always says!
This podcast is literally really good. I love it and as much as I love God, sometimes I get so caught up with my emotions too and that's how I'm feeling lately. And this podcast just helped me understand more about it and what I should do with it the Jesus way. I'm writing this comment to say that you both are truly a blessing and keep up with the podcast! Lovee you guys!
Your passion is what impacts me the most. It is the way you talk about God, and it is the way that you just ooze the word of God, which is rare for Christian podcasts nowadays. Every episode is full of scripture, wisdom, and never boring. I know when I listen, I'll be tuned in the whole time. Even when there is a guest, every episode is fire, and I'm genuinely so encouraged by your podcast every time!
Excellent, excellent podcast. Grant has a gift to take complex topics such as intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and walk us through, step by step, how to handle biblically. So very much needed in today's time. Thank you.
Wow! Your name just randomly popped up in my head! I watched you on the bachelor and became a huge fan because of how you talked about your faith and never lowered your standards to the worlds! I’m so happy God sent you a true man of God! Your husband is a mouth piece for the Lord! He makes it clear when he speaks. I’m going to be a new listener to the podcast! Thank you for making this channel!
Fellow deep feeler here, this episode blessed me so much!! Most of my friends and family are built more like Madi in their emotions and I just feel so much more enlightened and understand of both myself and them. I’ve been learning how to embrace the deep emotions that the Lord has entrusted me with in a way that honors Him and this helped SO MUCH!!Thank you guys so much the heart of God is radiating through y’all as always!!❤❤🙌🏾
Best podcast out there. I wish y’all could post daily 😂 thank you so much for the biblical encouragement and truth. I never have to wonder if this podcast will be theologically sound or not - it’s backed by Scripture and it’s definitely anointed! God bless you both! Thank you so much for your work!
The ending was so cute with Grants sweet words to you. I love the way you guys listen and acknowledge what one another says, and speaking with such gentleness and kindness. God bless this podcast. God bless your lives. I appreciate you guys taking time out of your days to film, edit and upload to share Gods word with us. 🫶🏻
Thank you so much Madi for your faithfulness to the Lord, your obedience to do this podcast, and your vulnerability to share about your past and present struggles. Every time I listen to a Stay True podcast I leave feeling encouraged and stronger in my faith!! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much for speaking on this topic. All of us have struggles. Sometimes whenever I’m on social media listening to Christian influencers, it makes me feel like I’m walking alone with temptation… that the influencers have it together so much and I’m just not good enough. So I appreciate you stating that we all have struggles and we all face temptation… it just what we do with that temptation. Love you guys together… so great ❤ God bless you both!
You are touching so many hearts, please continue to share the good news of the Gospel. You and Grant are in my prayers, all the way in the UK! May God bless you both.
Thank you so much!!! It's so important to show godly marriages. I would love to know more about the topic of marriage and communication from you guys. Holy Spirit is really speaking through you! May you be abundantly blessed with the spirit of JOY
I love this episode so much! This was definitely God's perfect timing for me to listen to and watch this today. Thank you both for serving God! I am eternally grateful to how God speaks through both of you! Praise The Lord! 🙏🙌🤲👐😁 I was feeling all the feels today, as they say.
Madi & Grant you guys are such lights!! God uses your relationship and knowledge to show how awesome he is! This episode was perfect timing and an answered prayer. Thank you guys for loving and sharing God’s word :)) Madi you have been such an inspiration from this podcast to your book I just finished, God shows through you so much!!
This podcast is a true blessing. I thank God for your life Madie. I'm going through a time where I'm not surrounded by people who believe the same way I do, so listening to you blesses me so much. Love from Argentina 🇦🇷
I love when Grant said he plans to treat ppl like he’s the only person 😊they’ll ever get in contact about knowing about Jesus. Maddie is great about bringing her church community to keep her accountable and explaining there responses because these r practical/able to copy examples. And yes any time u do something for God Satan comes strong and I usually pray protection over myself and others knowing this in Jesus name.
I tend to see that the lack of peace means we should get closer to God and make him the 1rst priority and I promise that the peace he gives us when we make him our everything is so good, we feel that we don't need anything else in the world so we feel so satisfied
I’m obsessed w personality types. I love it. I agree it’s a tool for understanding why we have tendencies and for self awareness but we have to use it to know where we have to work harder and know where our strengths are. I never get the enneagram numbers- I think I’m also a 4 though. It’s too broad for me though. Myers Briggs makes more sense to me. I’m a ISFP and I’m like grant - major feeler! It’s the driver in most of what I do! I’m impressed that a man is that way- I love it. Such an asset in a man. And it’s ok to be a more logical girl- that’s a good combo. But as a girl I really hope my future husband has some emotional intelligence and can understand that part of me. Feel like it’s not super common in a man and could be so special. Yikes- idk. Anyways love that intro:)
Can you guys please talk about problems surrounding sex and purity after marriage? I’ve heard you guys and some others mention it here and there but no one ever goes into to depth. Please and thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Question for Madi as a less emotional person- how about in your spirituality because I feel like you’re so passionate. I am too but I’m like grant so I use my passion and feely side of me to drive my passion spiritually. Do you get what I mean? So just curious how that comes out in relationships with God and growth in religion.
Madi and Grant, I don’t know if this is too graphic to ask for y’all to talk about, but my fiancé and I are lowkey traumatized. We are currently engaged and doing our wedding at a church separate from our own because it’s too small to fit everybody. The pastor at our wedding church requires 3 sessions of pre marital counseling. The first meeting a few weeks ago was fine. But at our second meeting yesterday he literally asked us about our sex life because he knew from us sharing our PAST STRUGGLES, one being that we decided to have sex before getting married but then stopped 8 months ago because we felt the conviction from the Holy Spirit and have since repented and still go through the daily battles and temptations. I was automatically uncomfortable but responded with “well that was sin but” then kind of gave a common answer like how us women don’t always want to as much as men or whatever when I should’ve said I’m uncomfortable but I got scared to say it in the moment. Then he gives us some advice about sex and we are like whatever right. It was just not the right thing to ask. If he wanted to ask about our sex life unmarried he should have worded it “how was your fornication.” Then he proceeds to talk about masturbation. He explained that in marriage if one or the other is comfortable with that or if it’s been 4 weeks then MY FIANCÉ should be able to, in his words “go do his own thing, but only think of me and no one else in our social circle” i immediately shut down and the pastor knew I was disgusted. He tried to clean it up with “and well if that’s something that’s a hard no in your marriage then that’s your own choices” for him to even plant that seed of lust literally made me cry as soon as we got in the car. My fiancé was so uncomfortable as well. We both had a past of sexual sin. We know what our God stands for. This man read zero scripture to us. We know he’s not our pastor at the end of the day. But it still sent so much spiritual warfare to us two. We read our bibles together last night and we’re able to combat what happened yesterday but my question to y’all would be, can y’all talk about this subject sometime? Trauma from a pastor, or the church? How do we correct a pastor when he’s wrong? We have a final meeting with him in a few weeks and I honestly want to throw the towel in and go get married in a courthouse at this point but I’m already all the way in with wedding planning and our wedding is September 7th. I’m disgusted this man has to marry us. 😔
Will they not allow your pastor to do it? I hate this entire experience for you. Have you considered speaking to your own pastor about this situation ?
Omg, I'm so sorry this happened to you. This pastor is obviously in sexual sin and sowed a seed of sin. I think it's obvious to not let him officiate your wedding. God will find you a replacement. In Matthew 18 it says to stay away from believers in sin and to treat them like a heathen.
How the church has hurt people is a great topic. How to move on IN the church after being hurt is a big problem and should be addressed if you guys are comfortable with it. I’m not sure how you would even address it. 😀 As for the pastor who was counseling you I would not have him marry you. Get another pastor. My point being, don’t give up on getting another pastor since you had a bad experience. Keep going in the Lord. You are both going in the right direction by seeking God in your marriage.
Wait, so you’re telling me I can’t use my emotions to decide between pizza or tacos anymore? I guess I’ll just have to let the Holy Spirit guide me to the right dinner choice tonight! 😂
To anyone who feels unloved, read this verse. Isaiah 43:4 ESV 4 Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.
hi madi 🤠 I’m really praying that this message will find you. my name’s alyssa and I’m 22 years old. I’m talking to a guy who’s really strong in his walk with Christ. the conversation came up traditional vs non-traditional in regards to marriage. we got into a little bit of an argument because if the time comes I’d like to keep my last name and also take his. He didn’t like this at all because he feels like when the Bible says submit to your husband, the biggest test of submission is taking his last name. He thinks that the only way to fully show my commitment is by taking his last name only. I strongly don’t believe that his statement is true. So I was curious what is your take on that? I thought of you because I was hoping to understand a bit more on why you chose to both keep yours and also take Grant’s.
hello. im sorry for leaving another comment…. and i’m sorry that this is so long. i’m seeking prayer and support in every possible way. i need help. im desperate to feel better, to feel okay. i’m struggling with so many bad thoughts, my mind is at war even while i sleep. i wake up with bad thoughts that leave me panicked and afraid of God and His word because of how condemned it makes me feel. and when i call out to Jesus i’ll have thoughts that say “No” or “i’m not willing to help you”. I keep praying, rebuking the thoughts, speaking scripture. spending time in the word, seeking to just listen to God but i feel caught up in this endless torment of bad thoughts. thoughts that accuse, and make me feel like God wants nothing to do with me. Thoughts that suggest that God’s done with me. Or that He’ll refuse to listen to my prayers. I know that His word is the truth, but i’m struggling to believe it for myself. i start thinking that maybe i’m just trying to deceive myself if i don’t believe these thoughts. i’m exhausted from fighting. i feel so worn out and torn apart. i’m trying to just remain humble and ask myself what i could be doing but i feel like i have nothing left in me. (making sure im not doing anything to open doors). (i’m pretty strict with what i watch and listen to) but i just end up confused. these thoughts are so overbearing and overwhelming. i feel consumed. i can’t think of anything else. it’s been weeks now. i’m seeking help in every way that i can. it’s hard to lean on God or seek Him when i feel afraid of Him. when i continue to press in and try to continue reading my word or praying sometimes it just intensifies. which makes me feel so defeated. all i hear is accusation. i open His word and struggle with reading it without hearing it as if everything was aimed at me (i struggle with scrupulosity and religious OCD) which makes it incredibly difficult to press in, and painful. emotionally. it hurts so much. and it feels frightening because i want to love God and love His word but it makes me feel like He’s very mad at me. I have thoughts that suggest these things as well while i try to open my word. it happens also in moments when i am at church listening to sermons. it’s fluctuated. it just hurts so much and it makes me feel awful about myself. leaves me feeling terrified and helpless and especially condemned. i know His word convicts but all of this just leaves me feeling so rejected and condemned. i struggle to not believe the thoughts about myself because i know how imperfect i am and i start thinking that maybe im just trying to deceive myself. i believe in Gods word, i believe in Him, but all of this makes it difficult to believe it for myself. thinking that maybe God has given up on me. it’s so scary to feel that way. to consider that the only hope i have may want nothing to do with me. i don’t know how to do this. i keep asking God for help. i apologize this is so long. i feel hopeless. thank you so much for praying for me.
Guys thia is the realest most genuine and transparent podcast ever! A True blessing . To God be the glory for the amazing way he is using you both to transform lives . May God continue to bless you both abundantly. Thank you both for your vulnerability and for accepting and embracing the call 🤍🙏🙌

Struggling with huge emotions and feeling anxiety because of them. Does anyone have insight on how to make peace with uncertainty in a relationship?
I tend to see that the lack of peace means we should get closer to God and make him the 1rst priority and I promise that the peace he gives us when we make him our everything is so good, we feel that we don't need anything else in the world so we feel so satisfied
this is so awesome!
This was INCREDIBLE and in PERFECT timing. Praise God and the Holy Spirit that this was the message you decided to discuss today. Thank you! 🩷🩷🩷

I’m obsessed w personality types. I love it. I agree it’s a tool for understanding why we have tendencies and for self awareness but we have to use it to know where we have to work harder and know where our strengths are. I never get the enneagram numbers- I think I’m also a 4 though. It’s too broad for me though. Myers Briggs makes more sense to me. I’m a ISFP and I’m like grant - major feeler!

Btw I would’ve emailed this to make it more private but I didn’t see anywhere I could do that lol. sorry it’s so long
Is there no possible way of finding another pastor?
Will they not allow your pastor to do it? I hate this entire experience for you. Have you considered speaking to your own pastor about this situation ?
Omg, I'm so sorry this happened to you. This pastor is obviously in sexual sin and sowed a seed of sin. I think it's obvious to not let him officiate your wedding. God will find you a replacement. In Matthew 18 it says to stay away from believers in sin and to treat them like a heathen.
How the church has hurt people is a great topic. How to move on IN the church after being hurt is a big problem and should be addressed if you guys are comfortable with it. I’m not sure how you would even address it. 😀 As for the pastor who was counseling you I would not have him marry you. Get another pastor. My point being, don’t give up on getting another pastor since you had a bad experience. Keep going in the Lord. You are both going in the right direction by seeking God in your marriage.

So good
Can you do a video with Kaleb and Jeanine????😇🩵
Wait, so you’re telling me I can’t use my emotions to decide between pizza or tacos anymore? I guess I’ll just have to let the Holy Spirit guide me to the right dinner choice tonight! 😂

To anyone who feels unloved, read this verse. Isaiah 43:4 ESV

hi madi 🤠 I’m really praying that this message will find you. my name’s alyssa and I’m 22 years old. I’m talking to a guy who’s really strong in his walk with Christ. the conversation came up traditional vs non-traditional in regards to marriage. we got into a little bit of an argument because if the time comes I’d like to keep my last name and also take his. He didn’t like this at all because he feels like when the Bible says submit to your husband, the biggest test of submission is taking his last name. He thinks that the only way to fully show my commitment is by taking his last name only. I strongly don’t believe that his statement is true. So I was curious what is your take on that? I thought of you because I was hoping to understand a bit more on why you chose to both keep yours and also take Grant’s.
First!
“He gives you the desires of your heart.”
You will want to make sure Jesus is the most important part of your life first.

what's it like working at an adoption agency? how many biological parents would be able to pass adoptive standards?
hello. im sorry for leaving another comment…. and i’m sorry that this is so long. i’m seeking prayer and support in every possible way. i need help. im desperate to feel better, to feel okay. i’m struggling with so many bad thoughts, my mind is at war even while i sleep. i wake up with bad thoughts that leave me panicked and afraid of God and His word because of how condemned it makes me feel. and when i call out to Jesus i’ll have thoughts that say “No” or “i’m not willing to help you”. I keep praying, rebuking the thoughts, speaking scripture. spending time in the word, seeking to just listen to God but i feel caught up in this endless torment of bad thoughts. thoughts that accuse, and make me feel like God wants nothing to do with me. Thoughts that suggest that God’s done with me. Or that He’ll refuse to listen to my prayers. I know that His word is the truth, but i’m struggling to believe it for myself. i start thinking that maybe i’m just trying to deceive myself if i don’t believe these thoughts. i’m exhausted from fighting. i feel so worn out and torn apart. i’m trying to just remain humble and ask myself what i could be doing but i feel like i have nothing left in me. (making sure im not doing anything to open doors). (i’m pretty strict with what i watch and listen to) but i just end up confused. these thoughts are so overbearing and overwhelming. i feel consumed. i can’t think of anything else. it’s been weeks now. i’m seeking help in every way that i can. it’s hard to lean on God or seek Him when i feel afraid of Him. when i continue to press in and try to continue reading my word or praying sometimes it just intensifies. which makes me feel so defeated. all i hear is accusation. i open His word and struggle with reading it without hearing it as if everything was aimed at me (i struggle with scrupulosity and religious OCD) which makes it incredibly difficult to press in, and painful. emotionally. it hurts so much. and it feels frightening because i want to love God and love His word but it makes me feel like He’s very mad at me. I have thoughts that suggest these things as well while i try to open my word. it happens also in moments when i am at church listening to sermons. it’s fluctuated. it just hurts so much and it makes me feel awful about myself. leaves me feeling terrified and helpless and especially condemned. i know His word convicts but all of this just leaves me feeling so rejected and condemned. i struggle to not believe the thoughts about myself because i know how imperfect i am and i start thinking that maybe im just trying to deceive myself. i believe in Gods word, i believe in Him, but all of this makes it difficult to believe it for myself. thinking that maybe God has given up on me. it’s so scary to feel that way. to consider that the only hope i have may want nothing to do with me. i don’t know how to do this. i keep asking God for help. i apologize this is so long. i feel hopeless. thank you so much for praying for me.
