SummaryStop Acting Christian with Kyle Idleman
2w ago01:00:27Summary readyThis week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman! Together, they unpack one of the most important questions every Christian has to answer: Are we following the real Jesus… or the version of Jesus we've created? In a culture that constantly reshapes Jesus into someone who fits our preferences, politics, emotions, and lifestyle, this conversation challenges us to return to the Jesus of Scripture. Madi and Pastor Kyle talk about why so many people want Jesus as Savior but not as Lord, how we've unintentionally turned Christianity into something we consume instead of a life we surrender, and what it actually costs to follow Christ. If you've ever wondered whether your faith has been shaped more by culture than by God's Word, this episode will leave you asking some hard, but life-changing questions. Be sure to stay you and stay true! Questions we answer in this episode: -Have we created a version of Jesus that looks more like us than Scripture? -Has culture quietly shaped the way you see Jesus? -Are you following Christ, or just consuming Christianity? -How can you tell if your faith is built on God's Word or personal preference? -Why did Jesus talk so much about surrender and sacrifice? -What does it actually cost to follow Jesus?

Summary
How to Know God's Will (Romans 12:1-2 Explained)
Jun 2500:11:20Summary readyIn this episode, Madi walks through Romans 12:1–2 and unpacks what it truly means to offer your life as a living sacrifice to God. In a culture that constantly tells us to live for ourselves, Scripture calls us to something radically different: to surrender every part of our lives to the Lord and trust that His will is far better than our own. Together, we'll dive into what biblical surrender actually looks like, why transformation begins with the renewing of our minds, how to discern God's will for our lives, and why following Jesus requires daily sacrifice rather than occasional commitment. If you've ever wondered what God's will is or struggled to fully surrender your plans, desires, or future to Him, this episode is for you. My prayer is that this conversation would encourage you to lay your life before the Lord again, trust Him more deeply, and experience the transformation that only comes from living fully surrendered to Jesus.

Why You Feel Spiritually Dry (John 15 Explained)
Jun 1800:12:35Summary readyHave you ever felt spiritually stuck? Like you're doing all the right things but still feel disconnected from God? In this episode, Madi and Grant unpack one of Jesus' most powerful teachings in John 15: abiding. So often we focus on producing fruit, finding our purpose, or becoming the person God has called us to be, but Jesus points us to something deeper. Before fruitfulness comes connection. Before impact comes intimacy. Together, Madi and Grant discuss why so many Christians are exhausted from striving, what it actually means to remain in Christ, and how abiding is less about trying harder and more about staying close to Jesus. They talk about the subtle ways we drift from dependence on God, why pruning is a necessary part of growth, and how a vibrant relationship with Jesus transforms every area of our lives. Our prayer is that this episode would encourage you to slow down, draw near to Jesus, and experience the peace, joy, and fruit that come from remaining in Him.

How to Take Control of Your Thoughts (2 Corinthians 10 Explained)
Jun 1100:09:25Summary readyIn this episode, Grant dives into 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 and unpacks one of the greatest battles every believer faces: the battle of the mind. Our thoughts shape our emotions, influence our decisions, and ultimately impact the direction of our lives. But not every thought that enters our mind is from God, and Scripture calls us to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. This conversation is a powerful reminder that spiritual warfare often begins in our thought life. Grant shares how the enemy often attacks through lies, strongholds, and distorted thinking, and how God's truth gives us the weapons to tear them down. He discusses practical ways to recognize unhealthy thought patterns, renew your mind through Scripture, and walk in the freedom that comes from aligning your thoughts with Christ. My prayer is that this episode would help you identify the lies you've been believing, replace them with God's truth, and experience the peace and victory that come from taking every thought captive.
