Stay True with Madison Prewett Troutt

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Jennie Allen for a raw and eye-opening conversation about the lie that almost ruined her life and the part of faith no one really talks about. Jennie shares how subtle, deeply rooted thoughts can quietly shape our identity, distort our view of God, and pull us away from truth without us even realizing it. From battling destructive mindsets to learning how to take every thought captive, this episode dives into what it really looks like to fight for your faith on a daily basis. Jennie opens up about the tension, the doubt, and the spiritual warfare that often goes unspoken, and how God meets us right in the middle of it.
 
Always remember to stay you and stay true.
 
Topics we dive into:
-The lie that nearly destroyed Jennie's life
-What lies are you believing about yourself?
-What spiritual warfare actually looks like day-to-day
-How do you break a generational curse?
-How to take your thoughts captive and walk in truth
AND SO MUCH MORE!

It's Holy Week! You've probably seen this image before… three crosses on a hill. Maybe on a bumper sticker, a piece of jewelry, a church sign, or a social media post; but in Luke 23:39-43, we're invited to look closer. In this episode, Madi and Grant unpack the powerful reality behind those three crosses, specifically the two thieves beside Jesus. In their final moments, both men face the same Savior… yet they respond in completely different ways.
One hardens his heart.
The other humbly turns to Jesus.
 
And the question we're left with is: which one are we?
 
We're talking about:
-The contrast between a hardened heart and a surrendered one
-What it looks like to recognize our need for a Savior
-The power of salvation
-And how even in his final breath, one thief found grace
This episode is an invitation to reflect, to soften, and to remember that it's never too late to turn to Him.
My prayer is that you would see yourself honestly, respond to Jesus fully, and rest in the truth that salvation is available to YOU.
New episodes every Thursday at 7am EST 🤍

SURPRISE 🕊️ Stay True in the Word is here… and it's just the beginning. We are officially adding a second episode every week (!!) and this one is a little different. While Mondays are filled with powerful conversations with amazing guests, these Thursday episodes are your space to slow down, open the Word, and sit with Jesus. These episodes are packed with Scripture, reflection, prayer, and a reset for your heart.
And today… we're starting at the foundation.
In this very first episode, Madi dives into Matthew 5:3-10, the Beatitudes, and uncovers what it really means to live in the "upside-down Kingdom." A Kingdom where the blessed don't look like the world says they should. A Kingdom that starts not with what we do, but who we are.
We're talking about:
-What it means to be poor in spirit and fully dependent on God
-A holy grief over sin that leads to transformation
-Strength under control through meekness
-A deep hunger for what actually satisfies
-Living with mercy, purity, and peace in a culture that resists it
-And what it looks like to stay faithful—even when it costs you
These aren't just verses to read… they are the character of Kingdom citizens. This episode is an invitation to come back to what's true. To realign your heart. To be filled again. My prayer is that this becomes your weekly space to be grounded, encouraged, and drawn closer to God.
New episodes every Thursday at 7am EST 🤍

Welcome back to SEASON 3 of Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi dives into the kind of bold, unshakable faith Hebrews 11 calls us to and why playing it safe might be holding you back from the life God has for you. Through biblical truth and practical encouragement, Madi unpacks what faith really looks like: not just belief, but action. From letting go of sin and the weights that slow you down, to walking in boldness and obedience, this episode is a call to stop living for comfort and start living with eternity in mind.
If you've been feeling stuck, stagnant, or unsure of your next step, this conversation will challenge you to trust God more deeply and step into the life He's calling you to.
As always… be sure to stay you and stay true!
 
Questions/topics discussed and answered:
• What does real, Hebrews 11 kind of faith actually look like in everyday life?
• Are you playing it safe, and could that be holding you back from God's best?
• What "weights" or hidden sins might be quietly slowing you down?

AND SO MUCH MORE!
